weighting does not work with categories

Are you using the core "taxonomy" module rather than the contrib "category" module? The "category" module is not supported, only core's "taxonomy" one.

In order to use categories, you need to follow the steps below. Can you ensure you've completed them all?

• Created a new vocabulary, or modified an existing one, and associated it with the "FAQ" node content type.
• Added terms to your FAQ vocabulary.
• Updated all of your FAQ nodes and associated them with a term from the FAQ vocabulary.
• Enabled use of categories at admin/settings/faq/categories
• Ensured that your faq vocabulary is _not_ selected in the list of categories to _omit_ at admin/settings/faq/categories

If you've done all of the above, can you tell me what appears on the admin/settings/faq/weight page? A selection box of categories/terms should appear. After selecting one and clicking the submit button, a list of FAQs associated with that term should appear and you should be able to sort them. What appears on the faq page with categories enabled? What are your faq settings?

Cheers,
Stella

Hi,

I have the same problem. I have followed all the steps Stella outlined in her post relating to this. When then choosing the "Weight" Tab (in the modules Administration menu:
- I select the category from "choose a Category"
. I am taken to the next window but the "Question Order" box is empty i.e. the FAQs assigned to this Category do not appear.
Exiting the administration pages and navigating to the FAQS page of my website the FAQS do appear under the Category heading. They are picking up the default "sort by date decending" setting from the "Questions" Tab in the modules administration pages.

Any help gratefully appreciated

See #280558: faq_weight_settings_form not showing nodes by category for a fix. This is a duplicate of that issue, please follow up there!
