Term1
Term2
-NestedTerm1
Right now on the FAQ page it shows all the terms in the category. I was think it might be a better option to have first level terms show up on the FAQ page, then on then when clicking on the terms with nested terms it shows the nest terms allow with any questions of course. And this is if people choose to have their categories on a different page.
So in my example the FAQ page has
Term1
Term2
+ questions
On the Term2 page it has
-NestedTerm1
+ questions
What do you think?

stella commentedI just want to be clear on this, so please bear with me. Using your example terms, the current FAQ page for 'categories open in a new page' is like:
You're suggesting the top level FAQ page would be:
By clicking on any of the terms, you are brought to a new page which has the list of questions for that term and a list of sub-terms, which when clicked on would also open a new page with questions and sub-terms, and so on, e.g. for Term2 the faq page would be like:
Is that right?
Likewise, you could do something similar with 'Clicking on category opens/hides questions and answers under category', so that a sub-term would be hidden until its parent term is clicked on. I don't see the 'categories inline' format changing at all, do you?
Cheers,
Stella

nancydruI don't think I understand why anyone would have FAQs under a parent term and more under a child term. Sure, it could be done, but why?
Just off-hand, I don't think I like the idea of mixing the q/a paid with further terms. I think the user would get lost quickly.

pearcec commentedsnpower,
yes that is it. yes I think you would change the 'Clicking on category opens/hides questions and answers under category' layout as well. And no I don't see any changes to inline.

stella commentedTry the attached module. There were too many changes to create a patch for. Just backup your existing file, remove the .txt ending and copy it into your faq directory.
I've done some testing and think it works with each combination of displays. It's kinda trickier now that there's so many different combinations. While it's flexible, I'm afraid of confusing the user. So please test it as much as you can and let me know how you get on.
Cheers,
Stella

pearcec commentedWorks every which way. Yes I tested them all. I don't know if this helps, or if it is built in as a standard thing in drupal:
* When "Only show sub-categories when parent category is selected" is set you should disable "Show sub-categories on FAQ category pages" since it happens automatically.
* Enable "Group questions and answers for 'Categories inline'" only when the user selected the Category layout "Categories inline".
* Enable "Display category name for answers" only when when "Clicking on question takes user to answer further down the page" is set.
That might clean up some of the complexity of configuring it. But it isn't necessary for my needs.

stella commentedyou can try it out in the dev release: 5.x-1.x-dev

Comment #7
pearcec commentedFAQ Title works, but I offer the following patch. It removes the ' - ' if the title is empty.
I see you implemented some disabling. I am not certain if you intended to do this one or not. But based on my suggestions this one isn't working:
* When "Only show sub-categories when parent category is selected" is set you should disable "Show sub-categories on FAQ category pages" since it happens automatically.
If you decided to leave it off, that is not a problem for me. We could probably get a bit crazy with disabling things. But at this point seems clean enough.
I tested all the functionality again. Everything worked. Feel free to cut a release. I would say this module is pretty stable and has a good feature set.
