I am using Drupal 5.6, and I downloaded the 5.x-2.9 FAQ module into my website, and I am running into a problem I am hoping you can help me with.
-Selected "categorized Questions" from the configuration
-Edited the questions (nodes), and selected one/more categories.
- All containers and categories depth is set to -10 (infinit)
-going to /FAQ URL, I see the category, I don't see any of the questions.

I tried wit and without sub-categories, but the results is similar, I don't see any of the question.

Have you ever seen similar behavior?

Any insight is highly appreciated.

Can you double check that the default publishing option is published? And check that some of the faq nodes you created are marked published?

Edited the questions (nodes)

You did create nodes with the "FAQ" content type, I assume.

Thanks for your reply.

I checked the default publishing option, and it was set to "published". I also checked few FAQ nodes, and they are set to published.

Yes, I did create FAQ node type, and I set category behavior to "Category", and left the Category-allowed container option to the default value .

What is the "page layout" (questions tab) and "categories layout" (categories tab)?

Based on your terminology, I'm assuming you're using the Category module rather than core taxonomy.

You are correct, I am using the categories module.

As for the Layout,
Under Questions, I am using "Question inline" and everything is unchecked
Under categories:
X Clicking on category opens/hides questions and answers under category
X Show FAQ count
(everything else is unchecked).

I tried to play with their settings, but it did not make a difference.

Do you believe the problem is due to the categories module? I will switch and see if it fixes the issue.

Thanks for you help, I appreciate it.

Thanks for responding. I asked about Categories simply because many people who use it have problems with modules that rely on Taxonomy. I really have no idea whether it is involved in the problem or not. I do not have Categories and no plans to use it. I think Stella does, so it may have to wait until she returns as the old married lady.

Meanwhile, I will set my test site as yours is and see if I can find out what's happening.

Do you really need the "category" module? The faq module has only been tested with the "taxonomy" module that comes with drupal core. In fact, the "category" module's project page states:

Warning: There are some longstanding bugs in Category, especially when dealing with menu handling! Please research other options before deciding to go with Category, and always keep backups!

Problems with the "category" module were encountered a while back in #133670: faq + category module. Some people got it to work, see comments #7 and #8.

If you really need the "category" module and the solutions proposed in #133670 don't work for you, then I can take another look at trying to integrate them again, but I'm not promising that a solution will be found.

Cheers,
Stella

No response from issue creator in over a month, so marking as "won't fix".

The FAQ module has been re-released since then too : faq 5.x-2.10 and faq 6.x-1.6.

Cheers,
Stella
