Frequently Asked Questions

Please elaborate on the following:

Sidebar: List questions and snippit of answer based on category, with link for more (to FAQ page)

See the example above where it only shows the first few words of each answer.

The idea is that I will eventually have a huge library of questions, and each grouping or category will relate to a page. As such, each relevant page would automatically (or as a component) have that group listed in its sidebar in short form - ie, with a "snippit" of each answer. All questions, regardless of where they're listed, should be linked to an anchor on the main FAQ page AND/OR a tool-tip will show up with the full answer on the current page.

That's the basics of it. I'm sure it can all be expanded into options and customization and such.

I thought having an additional "page reference" field would help out if the FAQ system was automated, but that may be a nightmare if pages start moving around and slugs start changing.

Great ideas. This plugin will defintily be a work in progress but I should have everything but the automation done today.

In terms of automation:
On the add/edit category screen maybe there could be a dropdown box or multi select box next to the category name where you could choose which pages to automatically display the category content in?

Edit: In about 20 minutes I am going to post the plugin for your testing so you can provide me with further suggestions and details.
