The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Add Glossary To Faq · **Released**: 07-12-2005

A simple modification that adds a glossary to the FAQ.

A must have feature if you use words on your site that people may not understand.

It's actually just a template modification but I have provided the queries to create Glossary sections, etc--so, I am not sure if it's ok to place this here.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Modify database
Modify templates

TIP:

I recommend renaming the FAQ to HELP CENTER.
Click the INSTALL button (to your right) if you want to be informed of updates.

Looks good, something I could put to good use. Clicks install.

To add timestamp to faq, please visit the ADD DATE/TIME TO EACH FAQ addon

if you have the ADD DATE/TIME TO EACH FAQ addon installed already do the following:
run this query: (add TABLE_PREFIX if you use one)
[sql]ALTER TABLE `faq` DROP `dateline`;[/sql]
thereafter, run the queries found on the ADD DATE/TIME TO EACH FAQ addon

Again another hack I needed. Thanks for coding something for the 3.0.x users.

This is going to hurt CINQ cause if I am not mistaken he is the EXACT same hack, except I believe he is selling it

Either way, it is a nice hack

if you installed the ADD DATE/TIME TO FAQ addon you will need to remove the dateline field temporarily ... you can then use the query provided in ADD DATE/TIME TO FAQ to add and update the 'dateline' field

I believe his 'Glossary' may have more features.

Question: I installed the queries and the templates, but when I go into my faq page I don't see anything different than before, so, what do I need to do?

If installed correctly you should see a section called 'Web Terms' along with the alphabet (view attachment on first post).

Can you provide a URL?

go to http://www.yourdomain.com/faq.php?faq=gtp_glossary and see if it will come up ... if it doesn't than there's nothing in the database
