Hi, I'm a total drupal newbie, trying to set up a community site for my family and close friends.
The faq module is very important for this project, but I am having one issue with itI am using drupal5 and the corresponding faq module. Categories are set to inline, with questions set to drop down when clicked on.
I am trying to accomplish pages with built in, separate faqs. IE, on the "donate" page, I want to have the faq category "donations" embedded within the page, using the same drop down style.
The category in url appears to be "www.example.com/?q=faq/15". The problem seems to be that the category does not appear as a node (not when categories are set to inline) and I heard there is a load_node function, but why learn the php involved when the category itself is not a node? (I do not know php).
So, is there a way to insert faq categories within a new page? How? Could you show me an example snippet, if possible, using category "donations" and "faq/15"?
I appreciate any help!

Add into your page node something like:

<?php
$output = faq_page(15);
print $output;
?>

Be sure to select the "PHP code" input filter format.

Cheers,
Stella

Wow, Stella, that's a really useful feature. Is it documented somewhere?

No, it wasn't something I had previously thought of. I've added it to the documentation at FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions.

Cheers,

Yes, I saw it while I was making some handbook changes - looks good. Thanks.

so, that seems to work beautifully! but, when the content is displayed, it is displayed with all questions and their answers inline, is there a way to get the 'collapsing' action (click on a question to reveal its answer) enabled in that output?

Only if you set those options in the FAQ administration settings, there's no other way to do it I'm afraid.
