UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support Adding new FAQ entries

I know this should be simple, but I can't figure it out. I did a search in here and didn't find an answer.

I tried adding a pair of new entries, a F_SIGNATURE and B_SIGNATURE to have the FAQ question and answer about why we don't allow signatures for new posters until they hit 50 posts. How do I get those to actually show up on the FAQ page?

You'll need to edit the faq template adding it there, following the pattern that is there currently (add an additional_onloads, and then adding your edntry towards the bottom of the file)

<snicker> the conversation I had in my head when redoing the FAQ for 7.3 was something similar to:

"they should be able to add faq entries easier"
"but how to put it in?"
"well, hmm, php could build the javascript entries"
"yeh, but you don't really grasp how to do that right now in the ubb then process to smarty"
"true, I guess I could recommend that to Rick and do the other stuff"
"yeh, well, that's what we'll do"

Would it not be easier if Rick had incorporated it into something like the language files? Then it could be edited directly from the control panel. Adding as many extra key fields as needed. And you also would be able to edit them.
Of course it is easy to critique after the FAQ(Fact).

Well, it is a language file; it's just how everything is outputted via the template file that makes it so you have to do some things manually

I understand. But like you said,currently you still need to edit manually to add or delete what is displayed other than the canned FAQ's.

OK that worked wonderfully - thanks so much!
