When allowing anonymous users to suggest a new FAQ question, need to include a CAPTCHA to eliminate spam.

When using the SUGGEST FAQ feature, it would be nice to allow notification to the Admin, when a new FAQ was suggested.

I would like to be able to have nested categories in my FAQ and/or Forums. This is a pretty simple change (I think, I'm no coder) as it's just adding a 'parent_id' column to the tiki_faqs database (for example). This would allow a layout like

*Firewalls
**Checkpoint
**Cisco
**Juniper

Which would make browsing categories and organizing them easier.

One cannot assign permissions on individual FAQs. This prevents from creating FAQ for different level of users.

This should be migrated to the community site, and handled with ((doc:Organic groups)) and ((doc:User Trackers))

When the FAQ feature is enabled, hovering over feature 'Blogs' in the 'Main' tab generates a floating box that says 'Wiki'. Likewise, hovering over 'Mini Chat' on the 'More Functionality' tab generates a floating box that says 'HTML Pages'

Registered users can NOT see FAQ list even though:
tiki_p_suggest_faq
tiki_p_view_faqs

Are both checked.

Confirmed on test install with SVN current as of 3/31/2008
Created new FAQ with 2 questions
Created new user in group registered
Granted permissions as above.
FAQ's do not appear on user menu, but do appear on Admin menu.

This is now fixed for me. Please svn update and re-test.

I have a FAQ with many questions with no organization which can make it difficult to find a particular question (and therefore related answer).

Problem:
FAQs do not appear in the 'list FAQs page' tiki-list_faqs.php
"No records found."


This bug is visible with fresh install 8.3
or content upgraded from 6.6 to 8.3.
(feature work ok in 6.6)

Adding a new FAQ work (the new entry is seen in database with select * from tiki_faqs;)
but it will not display in the FAQs list either.

Looking at the PHP code, it seems it is a permission problem.

in tikilib.php
function list_faqs()
code below: //FIXME Perm:filter ?

By removing the test on permission :
if ($objperm['tiki_p_view_faqs'] == 'y')
the FAQs do appear correctly.

It could be related with the 6.6->8.3 changes in user_lib.php function get_permissions() or the
way FAQs permissions are retrieved with tikilib.php
$objperm = $this->get_perm_object($res['faqId'], 'faq', '', false);.

They are quite a number of other //FIXME Perm:filter ? comments in the tikilib.php,
so it is possible that this bug affects other features (or is already reported!)

When the Wiki feature is disabled, some links are created pointing to nowhere.

Example:
http://www.vic-fontaine.com/forum/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=13&topics_sort_mode=lastPost_desc&forumId=1

First link points to:
http://www.vic-fontaine.com/forum/tiki-index.php?page=Fw: LOVE WORDING WALLPAPERS

"This feature is disabled: feature_wiki"

Similar in articles:
http://www.vic-fontaine.com/forum/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=1

A link to is automatically created for the key word TikiWiki:

http://www.vic-fontaine.com/forum/tiki-editpage.php?page=TikiWiki

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
If the ''Maximum number of records in listings'' is reached when listing all the FAQs, it's still print Page: 1/1 and it's impossible to show the others faq

The only way to show the others faqs is to give for example ''find=&offset=15&sort_mode=created_desc'' directly to the tiki-list_faqs.php page.

This feature is working on 1.9.11
This bug was found on 2.2 release

When using the Suggest an FAQ feature, Tiki allows a blank entry of both Question and Answer. This is incorrect. Althought Tiki should allow a blank __answer__, the __question__ field should be required.

It would also be nice to enable a CAPTCHA for anonymous editors.

Hi,
My website dissapeared suddenly and my server administrators emailed me the following...........


"It appears that the core was generated from :

Core was generated by `/usr/bin/php /home/govnor/public_html/modernscifi/tiki-view_faq.php'.


I would recommend showing these core files to the script developer to see what exactly is causing them to crash so often."



************I PULLED THE FOLLOWING OFF OF THE SERVER ERROR FILES. THERE WERE MANY OF THESE ERRORS EVERY DAY.***********



[25-May-2010 12:41:58] PHP Warning: Header may not contain more than a single header, new line detected. in /home/govnor/public_html/modernscifi/lib/pear/XML/Server.php on line 394

I'm unsure of what to do to fix this.
Please email me back at NathanKing@RedRocketNovelty.com

Thank you,
