• Does anyone know of a FAQ plugin? I would think it would retain questions in a database and then display them in a page. Also it would have sidebar tags to list FAQ categories.

  • yeah, I’ve written quite a few plugins and alot of the code can be shared. So I’ve created a xyooj.com directory for putting that shared code. It shouldn’t show up in WP as a plugin.

    I’ll update my FAQ to answer your question.

    I think I edited my post just as you post..

    “I updated to the latest version but the ajax is not working for me. From your faq, I see that it render some java code but mine doesn’t. Any idea what it’s not working? thank you”

    And I put the folder in the plugins folder too so it should be at the right place but I’ve no idea why it’s not working.

    Any idea?

    thank you VaamYob

    where’s the url to your faq ?

    http://liberta.espoireve.com/essence/questions/

    here..

    thank you for looking into this πŸ™‚

    There could be 2 issues:
    1. you’re not using the latest of the plugin
    2. your permalink structure is messing up the request for
    http://liberta.espoireve.com/wp-content/plugins/xyooj.com/ajax.js

    If it’s 2, I can change the plugin to embed the js in the html instead of simply refering to it in the html.

    The latest version is downloaded from your site right? with the extra folder? If yes, I think it’s the latest?

    If it’s 2 any idea how to fixed that? Thank you.

    Now allows you to assign a question to a WP category.

    Will work on allowing you to limit which categories get displayed and when.

    Just download and got an error when I logged in to Admin that the tables wp_faq_questions and wp_faq_answers already existed. You may want to put in a check for this.

    It also gave me a bunch of warnings like:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxxxx/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php:98) in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/wordpress/wp-login.php on line 11
    WordPress

    But everything was fine when I logged in again.
    Great job.

    Downloaded and extracted to wp-content/plugins and admin panel would not load. Also could not get to the website. Deleted the new faq and copied the last one back, now admin panel and web site works. Got these errors:
    Warning: main(/srv/www/htdocs//wp-content/plugins/xyooj.com/common.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/www/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/faq/faq.php on line 30

    Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/srv/www/htdocs//wp-content/plugins/xyooj.com/common.php’ (include_path=’.:’) in /srv/www/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/faq/faq.php on line 30
    Backups are your friend:)

    carnold,

    The xyooj.com directory (in the zip file) contains common code across some of my plugins. Did you forget to copy it up into the plugins directory on the server ?

    jwurster,

    Those errors are probably because the plugin relies on some WP functions to update its tables. It’s not supposed to, but the WP function do echo error messages during the update.

    No harm though, just disheartening to see.

    Hi VaamYob, is there anyway to fix that issue of mine?

    My wordpress is in a folder called wordpress, is there a way I could get the js embeded into the html instead? Thank you πŸ™‚

    I uploaded your plugin and received these errors:

    First error occured after installation, when I created a faq page and viewed it:

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xxx/public_html/test/wp-content/plugins/faq/faq.php on line 227

    The second error occured when I wrote a mock question, hoping to remove the first error:
    WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘Array’ in ‘field list’]
    INSERT INTO wp_faq_questions2cat (q_id, cat_id) VALUES (Array, 1)

    I approved the mock question, refreshed, and viewed the faq page and all errors disappeared.

    Thanks for a really great plugin.

    It would be nice to have the ability to turn off Category allocation on a per question basis if one didn’t want to allot a particular question to any one category.

    just a suggestion. Otherwise, thanks heaps.

    Truth,

    Can you try the latest version please ?

    Katie1,

    I’ll see what the problem is. Thanks for reporting it to me.

    Upgraded to the latest version..

    Having this error in the awaiting approval page

    WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ORDER BY c.cat_id, question_date desc' at line 1]

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/huaian/public_html/liberta/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/faq/faq.php on line 227

    and when I submit the question, the js thing is still not working for me.
