FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Description
The Frequently Asked Questions (faq) module allows users with the 'administer faq' permission to create question and answer pairs which they want displayed on the 'faq' page. The 'faq' page is automatically generated from the FAQ nodes configured and the layout of this page can be modified on the settings page. Users will need the 'view faq' permission to view the 'faq' page.
There are 3 blocks included in this module, one shows a list of FAQ categories while the others can show a configurable number of recent or random FAQs added.
Note the function theme_faq_highlights(), which shows the last X recently created FAQs, used by one of the blocks, can also be called in a php-filtered node if desired.
Configuration
Once the module is activated, you can create your question and answer pairs by creating FAQ nodes (Create content >> FAQ). This allows you to edit the question and answer text. In addition, if the 'Taxonomy' module is enabled and there are some terms configured for the FAQ node type, it will also be possible to put the questions into different categories when editing.
The ability to configure the layout of the FAQ page is only possible in the Drupal 5.x and later versions of the module. There are four question and answer layouts to choose from. The 'administer faq' permission is needed for configuring the 'faq' page layout and editing of FAQ nodes.
Including FAQ content in other nodes
In 5.x and 6.x versions, it is also possible to include the 'faq' page content in other nodes, for example, at the end of an article. To include the full 'faq' page content, just add the following PHP code to your node body. It works for both categorized and uncategorized faq nodes.
<?php
$faq_output = faq_page();
print $faq_output;
?>In addition, if you just want to include faq nodes from within just one category (e.g. term id = 123), you can do:
<?php
$faq_output = faq_page(123);
print $faq_output;
?>In each instance, you will need to choose the "PHP code" input filter format.
