HeadStand Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 The FAQ System allows Administrators to create custom questions and answers and display them anywhere on their site.Uses the full IPB EditorGroup Questions into FAQ Collections to show different questions on different pagesDisplay Collections easily on any page, in any IPS componentAnswers are displayed in a popup window so users are not taken to another screenNote: This mod is the 4.0-compatible version. For the 3.x version, see http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/5761-faq-system/
paulhess Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Love the application - thank you! I am noticing that even if I turn off the "show in navigation" option, the FAQ menu item remains. Any chance there is a fix for this? Again, many thanks! (I'm using the latest version of IPS Community)paul
GrooveOnBeat Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Group Questions into FAQ Collections to show different questions on different pagesDoes this mean we can have a separate pages for Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, FAQs, etc., all which are independent from one another?
HeadStand Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Does this mean we can have a separate pages for Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, FAQs, etc., all which are independent from one another?If you create separate collections for each of these, they would all show up in the global FAQ section. But each collection also has its own page, so yes, you can have independent pages for each. GrooveOnBeat 1

But each collection also has its own page, so yes, you can have independent pages for each. That's pretty cool. Like the other member said, while I can create this in Pages, I like the way you arranged things, including a popup for answers. I can use this for a help/FAQ section, since IPB 4 doesn't have it anymore. You can count on me as another customers. Morrigan 1

GrooveOnBeat Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Are FAQ Collections required to display FAQ's? When I created Q&A without a FAQ Collection it didn't display. When I created a FAQ Collection and added a FAQ Q&A to it, then the FAQ displayed. Suggestion:Is it possible to add a setting to toggle on/off the FAQ link in Navbar? if not then I'll just continue doing.. .elNavigation_app_faq_FAQ { display:none; } I prefer it in the Footer that's why.
ASI Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Sent you pm. Accidentally Purchased wrong version. Please help.

Yes, collections are required. You can hide any tab from the menu in the ACP under System -> Site Features -> Applications. Click the "lock" icon to the right of the app and set "Show in Navigation" to false. Morrigan and GrooveOnBeat 2

Stefan Johansson_72643 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Thanks for a great mod! Q1: I would like to hide the headline "FAQ" by adding the following code in the custom CSS but did not succeed. Is the "pageapp" and "pagemodule" not "faq"? body[data-pageapp=faq][data-pagelocation=front][data-pagemodule=faq][data-pagecontroller=browse] .ipsPageHeader { display:none; } Q2: Is it possible to change the string "FAQ" in the box that groups/lists the different faq-collections?

Stefan Johansson_72643 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) I think I have noticed a bug - when I add URLs in the FAQ-answers, they do not seem to work.Please visit this page http://99nicu.org/forum/faq/ and view the first FAQ "What is the 99nicu community". Try the "Register here"-link, is does only re-direct back to the FAQ-page.Most other links seem to behave the same way.UPDATE: I switched to "source" mode and it seems that URLs are not saved properly - the "Register here"-link just looks like<a href="">Register here</a>I tried to enter the URL in Source-mode, saved, but it seems that it is not saving ok even in source-mode.

RoleplayUK Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Is there a demo of this or a website where i can see it in use ?
PatrickRQ Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Does FAQ IPS4 version allows to point to specified answer via direct URL?
SJ77 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Purchased but I have no idea how to get this thing to show up in the menu. I created some questions. How can my members find them?
Morrigan Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 @superj707 You just need to add it in the main Menu Manager of the forum. @HeadStand In 4.1.7 FAQ breaks due to the changes in the menu design. Gives the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined method IPS\faq\extensions\core\FrontNavigation\FAQ::activeOrChildActive() in /PATHTOIPS/system/Theme/Theme.php(692) : eval()'d code on line 7285 I appreciate it.

Morrigan Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I believe she is working on getting this fixed soon. Stefan Johansson_72643 1

PirateCaptain Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 After updating to latest version, I'm getting an error where it shows frontnavigation_faq instead of FAQ, any ideas how to fix this one?
Morrigan Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 @PirateCaptain Are you running 4.1.6x or 4.1.7?
PirateCaptain Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 4.1.6, and ill let you know if upgrading to 4.1.7 will fix it asap
Gravi5tar Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Just installed, a big fan of the v3 version...looking forward to configuring this. A few issues (working on 4.1.8.1)... How do you nest the FAQ Sytem menu item, it doesn't seem to work as normal? Also, how do you change the wording 'FAQ System' so it appears in the menu as just 'FAQs' for example? Many thanks
Morrigan Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 The answer to number 2 would be to utilize the "quick translator". Don't know about the first.

Can you clarify what you mean when you say "it doesn't seem to work as normal"? There really is no difference between the FAQ menu item and any other menu item.
