First off I'd like to say thanks, this is a very cool faq's and to be donated to all of us is top notch.
I'm using 2.0.16 and like it. I have a problem when selecting "Open questions", and by the way where are the titles to the links, "Advanced search, Add content, Open questions" etc stored? Anyways, after clicking "Open questions" all questions open, scrolled way down the page, with a couple inches gap before them. Where could I size the "Open questions view area, I think its just to wide so spaces under all else.
Not done yet , Is there a way to change "Top 10" latest views to "Top Viewed" or just "Top" and only show 2 or 3?
On a roll now... Can I turn off "The latest articles"? and can I turn off "Sitemap" or "Show all categories" or change menu on left at all?

Thanks again and in advance for any help,
shotgun

Hi,

• The number of list entries at the right can be changed in the /inc/constants.php file.

  Code: Select all

  /**
   * Number of records for the Top 10
   *
   * @var const   10
   */
  define('PMF_NUMBER_RECORDS_TOPTEN', 10);
  
  /**
   * Number of records for the latest entries
   *
   * @var const   5
   */
  define('PMF_NUMBER_RECORDS_LATEST', 5);

• All the titles are saved in your language file, for example /lang/language_en.php. Just look for the text you'd like to change, so you can get easily to the right position.
• To disable entries in the categories you have to look into the templates (/template/index.tpl). These are all the categories at the left hand side.

  Code: Select all

  <div id="categories">
  <ul>
     <li class="home">{backToHome}</li>
     <li>{allCategories}</li>
     {showCategories}
     <li>{showInstantResponse}</li>
     <li>{showSitemap}</li>
     </ul>
  </div>

• To format the open questions in your way you can insert some lines into your /template/style.css. This is my style:

  Code: Select all

  .main-content table.openquestions { width: 100%; }
  .main-content table.openquestions th { border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; padding-bottom: 0.5em; text-align: left;  }
  .main-content table.openquestions td { font-size: 0.9em; padding: 0.5em 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; }
  .main-content table.openquestions td a { border-bottom: 0; }

I hope this is helping you.

ahhh thank you many times over, questions looks beauty now. Can I add to the menu on the left, its not as easy as replacing {showSitemap} I'm sure but where is it given that as constant and where is link thrown, just so I can look if nothing else, thanks again.

Hi,

sure, you can. Just add a HTML code like this:

Code: Select all

<li><a href="http://www.phpmyfaq.de/">Back to phpMyFAQ homepage</a></li>
