Topic: HowTo on making PHPMyFAQ spiderable. (static pages)

I did it a little differently....

I created a page that lists all the URLs, then I copy them a group at a time into phpDig and spider them that way.

Because of the super linking I do, it seems to kill phpDig if I try to do any of the automatic updates, and the force feed seems to also barf if I ...

Management Function

I don't know if I already asked for this, but it would be nice if in the Edit Topics we could have more sorts than just the one of category and then the items.

For example, I want to revisit my topics, with about 5-10 a day as input to see if I have a need to update some of the material. With a ...

Ok,

I am not sure what is the best approach there. but we should be able to "prune" eiter automatically or by manual action ... as usuall, I am not mandationg a specific solution.

Thorsten,

I seem to be very depressed today, so, I am not sure this is worth that much attention. I was just wondering if it was me doing something wrong.

For consistency with the emainder of mysite, I hve a rule that underscored words goto the glossary dictionary and navigation is always by icon ...

Management Function

It would be nice to have an extra management function. I know, or think I know, that I can go into the data base and "collapse" the edit history. But it would be nice to be able to do that within the tool so that it is done correctly.

Even better, and I may have said this before, is to have a ...

Sigh, even more

It has to be me. Ok, I am trying to get the images portion to work with the FAQ. The goal here is to be able to display minor decorations and links. At the moment I am still struggling to get it to work consistantly and don't seem to be making much progress at all.

Here are links to examples:

Like I said, I do, for some reason, seem to be harder on the tools I use than most people. Then again, I am autistic so what do I know? :)

One of the reasons that I seem to be doing so much is that I have a fairly large FAQ, so management of the ...

New things and AGAIN, I bet you thought you got rid of me!

A couple more suggested features:

The start page also ought to list the number of records that have not yet been approved.

We should also have an entry where, for a slected total number, the oldest unreviewed entries can be reviewed. For example, I have 400 some records, I want to have the ability ...

Thorsten,

Yes, I know. Just to put your mind at ease, though I am mentally ill, and at the moment fully disabled because of it, I used to be a Systems Engineer specializing in the logical design of relational database systems.

And I have been working with computers personally and professionally ...

And well it should. I just did not have a database when I did my work. So, I did a flat file. Now the issue is how to do the images as inserts. I have some other code that works well, using CSS so orient in left, right, center, scaled and unscaled. you can look around my site and see what and how ...

Well, you do have the next two versions that have items I want. So, I can wait. The use of PHP in the next one lets me use my current mechanism for my Glossary where I use

<?php DefinedWord("BOINC Software"); ?>

to do a look up and display of the word using this function:

phpMyFAQ 1.4.x will get only mantainance releases, new features will be only in the upcoming 1.5 release. The CSS will be better in this version.

Ok, when ever :) ... I want improvements, how I get them is not that critical. When 1.5 comes out I am going to upgrade ...

Updated, BUT! :)

Thanks for the update, the issues that I have NOW (sorry) include:

1) the style sheet uses so many interlinked styles that it is hard to know just what you are changing. I would still suggest that instead of using so many overrides that you go instead to an item by item configuration. Then each ...
