Ultra_FAQ v2 question
Hello we are using Ultra_FAQ v2 with links 3.1 on a test site with all default templates.

After adding a new article we are getting:
Sorry, there are no articles in this category at the moment.
In the category we added it to.. although the main categories list is showing that category with 2 articles.

Any ideas?
Regards

Re: [katabd] Ultra_FAQ v2 question In reply to
in the faq_subcategory.html

it seems that andy typed "encode" instead of "escape" in two places.

It should be GT::CGI::escape

That seems to fix *most* problems.

There seems to be some other template quirks, but they should be easily fixable. One I noticed is on the long-message display, the "you are here" link is linking back to the message, rather than the category. Should just be a matter of changing the tag, but I didn't have time to look.

I didn't do anything with this program, and didn't even realize he had written one <G>

It will save me some time, so there might be a version 3 coming out shortly.

Hope this fixes your problems for now.

Alba, KaTaBd,

Does your FAQ Search work?

When I leave it blank it returns "No Query Entered" but when I enter a word that is in the FAQs it returns "No Results Found". Infact, no matter what I type in it returns "No Results Found". Unsure

Yes- search not working and I temporarily deleted if from the templates.

I'll probably do the same.

Can't get crumb to display either. Have added it manually. Crazy

I fixed up a few of the template tags, and moved most of the stuff over to the luna set.

I'll look at the search, and the other parts of the code, maybe get an update release out in a day or two.

I have one request for future releases. Please make the Title filed in install.pm larger as the low size setting cuts off Qs. I've adjusted mine to 255.

Code:
Title => {
pos => 1,
type => 'CHAR',
size => 255,
not_null => 1,
form_display => 'Question'
},

Re: [MJB] Ultra_FAQ v2 question In reply to
Yeah, I agree. I'll probably make all those fields 255 varchar unless there is a reason not to (eg: certain fields for Links backwards compatibility)

The size checking should be in the code, not the database, as there is no penalty for declaring a 50 byte field, or a 255 one using varchar.

Another good feature would be a Sort Order for the actual FAQ list. Sometimes one Q relates to the previous Q but unless you put them both in at the same time they become seperated. Sometimes questions are raised at a later date that might be relevant to a previous FAQ and would be better posted as a follow-on.

eg:

Entering in order-

Q1. What is a forum?
Q2. What is a topic?
Q3. How do I post?
Q4. Where to I register?

Entering additional FAQs at a later date, sort order does not make sense-

Q1. How do I post?
Q2. What is a topic?
Q3. Where do I register?
Q4. What is a forum?

That shouldn't be too hard. That's just adding a new field to the record, and sorting on that value.

You can do that yourself, and manually enter values, use the old BASIC concept, and separate the values by at least 10, so you can add others inbetween.

Creating the template, and update routine is a bit harder, but can be done fairly easily too.
