Heavily Modded FAQ
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
And here are the mods...

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

Re: Heavily Modded FAQ
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.Thorsten wrote:Hi,

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.

Re: Heavily Modded FAQ
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.

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

Relocate FAQs from right hand side to middle of page
Cut {rightBox} and put it directly under the search bar code here
Remove News
To remove the news display completely just comment out the entire contents of main.tpl
