    I don’t think you should put any restriction on the question size at all.

      After this thrashing... wink Questions are now only limited by the size of TEXT in your database. Hopefully ~64kb is enough room for a question. If not... well... tough cookies. grin

      Seriously though, thank you for the feed back. Let me know if you have any other issues or suggestions.

        Great Add-on! For anyone interested in starting off with a bulleted list of questions at the top of the page linking to each Q/A pair below here is how I was able to do it.

        Create a chunk "faq_list_tpl":
        <li><a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#faq_[[+id]]">[[+question]]</a></li>


        Create a chunk "faq_tpl":
        <h3 id="faq_[[+id]]" class="faq_question">[[+question]]</h3>
<div class="faq_answer">[[+answer]]</div>


        Then use this code in the resource document where you want the FAQ:
        <ul>
[[faqMan? &set=`1` &tpl=`faq_list_tpl`]]
</ul>

[[faqMan? &set=`1` &tpl=`faq_tpl`]]

          Hi Josh.

          Looks great. I just tried an example with Luke’s code and it works fine.

          Are there any plans to have the answers show/hide upon click on the FAQ?
          I can probably do this myself via jQuery but was just curious.
          Thanks

                Something that would be nice on this mod would be a display order. A number field when creating each question that would allow you to insert a FAQ at the top of the list, or a move up, move down button in the faq manager.

                  Is this 2.0 beta1? On the extras page it says the version is 1.04rc2.

                  Thanks.

                    Looks like I have 1.04rc2. Don't see a version 2.0.

                      Wow, sorry, I always forget to check this forum...

                      @sparrow I really didn't want to force anyone to use anything, so the front-end code was always planned to be pretty barebones HTML so it could be re-used anywhere and any special effects you wanted to add would need to be on your own

                      @insomnix The display order is actually customizable, by default it will display in the order shown in the manager. To reorder them, you should be able to drag & drop them to move them around.

                      @pixelstation Version 1.0.6pl is the correct current version... the version 2 was a typo in the description... but maybe someday smiley
