No FAQ module?

By pengi on 18 Feb 2007 at 08:03 UTC

I can't find anything like a faq module, there are a number of conversations about creating them via books etc. What's a simple route to take?

What do you mean by FAQ module? What do you see your FAQ looking like and being used?

For instance the Troubleshooting FAQ is just a section of the handbook which is using the book module.

Another possibility would be to create a new content type called FAQ. Create a taxonomy called FAQ. Make the FAQ content type required. Then you could go one of two ways.
1. Use path module to alias the taxonomy to /FAQ and anything you add will appear there.
2. Use views module to filter the content for your /FAQ.

Several other possibilities but you should elaborate on your goal.

I didn't realize it'd be so

I didn't realize it'd be so easy to utilize the book module, that will do fine.

For an alternative, please

Using webform module

NoahY commented 10 March 2007 at 16:01

I think you could use the webform module to create a form-based faq like the one here:

http://sanku.sirimangalo.org/faq

The only problem is that the webform module adds a submit button, which is undesirable in this case. I like this way, though, because it is neat and quick, so I hard-coded the form and installed it as a module. If the webform module could be changed to make the submit button optional, you could just do it that way, and it would be easier.

Webform Module as FAQ

arlmedia commented 24 September 2009 at 19:58

I have used the webform Module as FAQ, e.g. on www.rechtsklarheit.de/kosten/anwalt-berlin-schoeneberg-online-prozesskos... and have two comments:

#You can conclude the FAQ Listing with a Textfield giving opportunity to ask any further questions in case it was not answered being mailed to the admin- which makes the submit button rather a feature than a problem in this context.

#The answers to the faqs are not indexed by search engines while being inserted into the form, so the use of webforms for FAQ functionality has adverse effects to SEO.
