Display FAQ node links on the main FAQ page

I'm unsure what you mean. Would it be possible to provide a screenshot?

Hi christefano,

It's not something that I would like to add to the faq module. I don't see a high demand for it and it would add yet-another-option to the configuration screen. So for the moment, I'm not planning on implementing this feature, but if enough other people request it, then I may re-consider in the future.

Cheers,

Marked #229496 as a duplicate of this issue.

Stella, whenever you get back, I think a lot of little things like this (and the image_attach issue) would be automatic if we could figure out a way to use node_view instead of code in the module. The primary problem is dispensing with the title and "submitted by" stuff.

Well, one nice thing in 6.x is that node_teaser allows one to change the preferred teaser length from the standard post setting.

I wanted to leave a follow up comment to an FAQ and realized another benefit we would get from node_view: Comments. While some of us know how to do that and even to see them, I suspect the vast majority of my users, and the expert in this case, will never see my comment... Oh well.

I'm not sure if we can use node_view(). There is a way of getting it to not display the title ($page = 1), however I don't see how we can disable the "submitted by", taxonomy term list, etc. However, we could implement some of the missing functionality from node_view(), e.g. population and display of $node->links and node_invoke_nodeapi($node, 'alter', $teaser, $page);. I'd be inclined to implement the former as an option - not everyone may want the node links (comments, etc) to appear.

Hi,

This feature has now been implemented on the 5.x branch. I would attach a patch, except I did a major overhaul of the code in order to make it easier to implement. If you want this feature it would be better to try the next dev release (available later today).

I'm now going to look at how to implement it for Drupal 6.x. Due to the theme changes in Drupal 6.x, it's not a straight-forward port and may take another week to get working, assuming I can do so!

It'd be great if you could test out these new changes.

Okay, here's my first pass at it.

"Add new comment" is a definite improvement. However, there is no indication that there are and comments already posted. Yes, I can click on the title and see them, but the vast majority of my users don't know they can do that, nor is there any reason for them to do so. If there was a link that said "2 comments" and took them to the node page, that would be a big help. Or turn the "read more" link on if there are comments.

The "Default Sorting for Non-Weighted FAQs" didn't change the order of my display. I need to make sure there is no reason why it shouldn't.

The "2 comments" type link is controlled by the comments module and only appears when viewing teasers.

The "Default Sorting for Non-Weighted FAQs" only affects faqs who do not have an entry in the faq_weights table. It worked before the code overhaul, but maybe something broke since. Will test this area again.

The "Default Sorting for Non-Weighted FAQs" option is working fine for me. However, I have noticed that with the "weight" module installed the order got changed even though I modified nothing when editing the node. At least with the version of the weight module I have installed, when a faq node is created, it's given a weight (n.sticky) of -100, but when you edit it, it is changed to -60! Disabling this module caused all nodes to be created with a weight of 0 and editing the node subsequently didn't change this value. Perhaps you're running into something similar?

This is now implemented for the Drupal 6 version as well. If anyone could test the D5.x or D6.x versions for me, that would be fantastic!

Released in faq versions 5.x-2.10 and 6.x-1.6.
