I've finally completed by modded FAQ (been at it on and off for months).

Before I list the alterations I want to thank Thorsten (again) for such a brilliant FAQ system. Although I have removed quite a lot, and moved things around, if it was not for Thorsten clear code making it easy for these alterations, I would never have managed. I also want to stress that there is nothing wrong with the features I have removed, they are fantastic, they were just not required for my own particular installation. I want to thank Thorsten for making these features available even though in my particular case they were not required.

Here is my FAQ

Hi thanks for the feedback!

Most amazing is I do not know any PHP, all the changes were made by trail and error LOL.

I don't think I changed any code, but to remove some of it, or comment it out, I had to try a few times to get the effect I was looking for.

You did help me with one minor change, to increase the number of words (8) in the FAQ main listing of the newest and most popular FAQ listings.

The fact you have done all this with no php is cool. I don't know any either - so it looks like it will be trial and error for me as well.

Hi,

well, it's all just XHTML and CSS.

bye

Hi Rocky / Thorsten,

Can you tell me please how you are able to have the most popular and latest FAQ's on the homepage but only the Related Articles in the Article page.

Thanks,
Sully

Here are the edits I made that probably are what you are looking for.

template/index.tpl changes

Relocate FAQs from right hand side to middle of page

Cut {rightBox} and put it directly under the search bar code here

Code: Select all

<div class="main-content">
                <form id="search" action="{writeSendAdress}" method="get">
                        <input type="text" name="search" id="searchfield" size="30" /><input type="submit" name="submit" value="{searchBox}" /><input type="hidden" name="action" value="search" />
                                </form>
          {writeContent} 
           {rightBox}

Remove News

To remove the news display completely just comment out the entire contents of main.tpl

Can't get it to work Rocky? Any other thoughts. Did you modify php perhaps?
