Detailed Single Page How-To: Example FAQ
Permalink 3 users found helpful
For all developers struggling with how/why they might make a single page interface for editing page-level content, I've created a how-to (as part of our concerted effort to do at least one new how-to or screencast a week.)
http://andrewembler.com/concrete5/build-a-single-page-powered-editi...
The How-to is also posted on our how-tos section in the documentation
http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/...
Finally, code is available for download (follow either of those links) and a free package of the FAQ system described in the how-to is now available for download in the marketplace.

Thank you :)
i think brief answer is enough, i dont need read more/full answer attribut.
the problem is, if i have 100 question i have to 'exclude from nav' checked for all this 100 page question? couse i dont want it appear on sub drop down menu level.
what's different this add-on from Easy News Add-on?
So there is Faq section & Faq Tags, where is Faq Tags attribut appear? can i turn off this feature?
thanks all, andrew!

Hello,
I've installed the FAQ add-on. At first I followed the directions on your website, then removed them and replaced w/ the files that are available for download.
Now, when I go to Dashboard » FAQ Entries » "Click Here to Add FAQ Entry", I get the following error:
I've un-installed and re-installed several times. Removed the blocks, controllers, & single_pages files to no avail.
Please help, I'm not sure what made it throw the error.
Thanks in advance!

i use ver. 5.4.1.1 and install faq block and it running well.
you must upload block to 'root/packages',
and add page atribut faq section to the page when you create new page.

Okay, I got it working and I'm no longer getting the fatal error:) Many thanks to Andrew for creating the FAQ and detailing how to set it up here:

Be sure to read exactly what it's saying. Also, there's no need to create the code needed yourself, it is included in the install in packages/example_faq. You just have to follow the directions and place everything that's there where it needs to go (single_pages, blocks, & controllers). Thanks fastcrash!
Now, I've got 2 little issues with it that I'm not sure why they're not working.
1) On my main FAQ page, the FAQ's are showing, but they don't have the nice "Q:" and "A." text next to each question. How do I get that to show correctly? Currently, it's just showing a list of the FAQs, kinda like a blog entry, w/o the pretty little "Q:" and "A:" text next to each one. Suggestions?
2) When I click on a FAQ, it takes me to the page that was created, but nothing is there. Page just looks like my template w/o any content. What am I missing here? I thought it would create those pages automatically. Do I need to do something to them to make the Question and Answer show?
Thanks in advance!

I've narrowed it down some I think. While Andrew's tut shows the custom template modal box at the end of the tutorial (pic attached) and this text:
I don't get that custom template modal box. I get the standard page list box. (pic attached).
What am I doing wrong that I don't get the same result?

Okay, I've figured out where that custom template was - right under my nose!
Looks like I've got it all working now. Pat on the back.
Never-the-less, thanks Andrew for the FAQ block, and thanks fastcrash for pointing me in the right direction!
Cheers.
