    Question FAQ Section like the News Section

    Is there some way to setup or duplicate the way news works to have a FAQ section? Want to be able to add multiple FAQs just like news and have them appear in a list the same way the news items do.

    I'm on version 9 and using C# code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What´s the deal of having tons of unanswered posts
    Is this forum a P2P where aspdnstf barely monitors community interaction?
    I, as developer (direct customer) am paying a lot of money for this software and how can I promote clients to buy it if such a common functionality in now days is not already implemented or at least there is a guidance to do it.

    That's doable, yes. The 'news' is displayed using {root}/XMLPackages/news.xml.config file, you can as well do the same thing with FAQ. Firstly, you can use the existing topic pages to manage FAQs or you can create another page in the admin which will be used to maintain it. Secondly, make a duplicate of news.xml.config file, modify it a bit depending on your requirements, and invoke it into your .aspx page.

    Zerokilo: thanks for finding this, we really appreciate it. We are actively monitoring this community everyday. If there were few unanswered posts, we apologies for that. We are doing our best to monitor/moderate them the best as we could.

    Default FAQ Table Schema

    Hello Alfred,
    The FAQ database table is already in the database schema since version 7. What is it purpose if no ui logic is applied to it. Is it just to show us how can we implement it by our own?

    Thanks
