How to make PiFaq show all questions/answers onload instead of clicking each

[kwansan]

Hi,

I am not sure if this is possible.  I am using PiFaq on a new client's site and they are requesting that PiFaq shows all Q&A when the page loads instead of clicking each section or question to view the answers.  Is this possible by adding something to {cms_module module="Pifaq" } like {cms_module module="Pifaq" show_catagory="All"}

I looked at the source code to see if I can modify it to fit my client's request.  Not sure where to begin.  I have limited php knowledge (enough to be dangerous) and I do not speak German.  Wondering if anyone else have already done this or if someone could give me a quick pointer.  Thank you in advance.

Have you looked at the 'Help" section of the module?
Extensions » Modules the word Help to the right, or the name of the module in newer Ver., click it and you get the Help for that module.

Hi Mark,

You've always help me so much since I joined cms ms.    I have looked under Help in PiFaq module and it does not have that answer.  But I poked around with the code and got it to do what I need.  Below are the lines I deleted from PiFaq to show all catagories, questions the answers when the page loads.  It is the last function named function UserDisplay.  I just removed some of the if and else statements.  The original code if catagory= than display something else display question.  Etc.  By removing this if/else it displays all questions and answers when page loads. 

Original piratos code

Code: Select all

if ($kategorie_id == $kategorie['kategorie_id'])
                   {
                     while  ($row = $rs->FetchRow())
                     {
                        if ($row['faq_id'] <> $faq_id)
                        {
                         $default_link = $this->CreateLink($id, 'default', $returnid, $contents=$row['frage'], $params=array('kategorie_id'=>$kategorie['kategorie_id'],'faq_id'=>$row['faq_id'],'language'=>$this->language,'all'=>$all,'class'=>'showpifaq_f_link','katname'=>$katname));

                         $out .='<div class="showpifaq_simplelink">'."\n".$default_link."\n</div>";
                        }else

                          $out .='<div class="showpifaq_frage">'."\n".stripslashes($row['frage']).'</div>'."\n".'<div class="showpifaq_antwort">'."\n".stripslashes($row['antwort']).'</div>'."<br />\n";
                        }  // if

                     }  //while

		   }  //if

I removed opening

Code: Select all

 if ($kategorie_id == $kategorie['kategorie_id'])"

lines 581-582

Code: Select all

if ($row['faq_id'] <> $faq_id)

lines 585-586

Code: Select all

}else

line 590 and the matching closing if 593.  I think that was all.  Below is what it looks like with those removed

Code: Select all

  while  ($row = $rs->FetchRow())
                     {
                         $default_link = $this->CreateLink($id, 'default', $returnid, $contents=$row['frage'], $params=array('kategorie_id'=>$kategorie['kategorie_id'],'faq_id'=>$row['faq_id'],'language'=>$this->language,'all'=>$all,'class'=>'showpifaq_f_link','katname'=>$katname));

                         $out .='<div class="showpifaq_simplelink">'."\n".$default_link."\n</div>";


                          $out .='<div class="showpifaq_frage">'."\n".stripslashes($row['frage']).'</div>'."\n".'<div class="showpifaq_antwort">'."\n".stripslashes($row['antwort']).'</div>'."<br />\n";


                     }  //while

I need to tinker with it further to get it exactly the way I need it.  However, it was a start.  Mark I have another post under layouts about niftycorners/niftycubes.  You helped me before and now I am having a strange problem with it.  I don't want to double post but if you have time can you see my original post here http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 912.0.html

No one knows niftycubes like you do. 

Thanks again.
