Frequently Asked Questions

[mikeh]

Hi all,

I'm searching for a basic, but admin-heavy, FAQ system. I know mikeh and mvlcek have put some effort into plugins, as seen at this thread, but I'm looking for a bit more:

• Admin: Add/edit/delete all questions, answers and categories/subcategories similar to pages (or i18n pages)
  
• Admin: Use hierarchical categories and orders for all questions using lists
  
• Main FAQ page: List all questions by category in one long list with category index at top (linked using anchors)
  
• Sidebar: List questions and snippit of answer based on category, with link for more (to FAQ page)
  

So, for example, if i run a pet store and I have a page about cats, i could simply type {% faqs_on("cats") %} or something similar. Questions would then show up in the sidebar like so:

FAQs
1. Do I own a cat?
Possibly, but only you would...
2. How much is a cat?
About $3.00 per pound...
3. Is this a question?
Is this an answer? Sure...

Clicking on any of the questions will lead them to the main FAQ page, and to the question's anchor. To develop it more, there could be the option to display a tool-tip pop-up on a sidebar component.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I think most of this can be accomplished with the Items Manager.
Although it might be a little over-complicated for just faq.
