googletap & FAQ

Guest

Anybody have success getting googletap to work with the FAQ module? (I recall that FAQ function was still under construction earlier this year.) I downloaded the latest CVS version today, and the .htaccess file includes:

#FAQ
RewriteRule ^faq.html faq.html
RewriteRule ^faq-([0-9]*)-([a-zA-Z0-9+]*).html faq.html&myfaq=yes&id_cat=$1&categories=$2

But I still can't view FAQ categories--nothing happens when clicking a category. Everything else works smoothly with googletap.

Using Nuke 6.5. Cheers.

Has there been any success yet with this? I have two seperate faq's that I would like to Tap, I have had no luck yet trying to solve this one. If anyone has gotten this to work, please share the knowledge. Thanks.

Haven't had a chance... I'm working on getting all the websites launched first. There is one final one to launch for bug tracking and reporting. After that, its back to coding. CS has been doing all the coding right now while I'm busy with the server stuff.

To solve the problem of the FAQ, simply reverse the order they appear within the header.php, since the entry for faq.html and the conversion at the bottom of the file appear before the questions portion, it does a rewrite on the first part before it even gets to the rewrite for the second part. If you cant follow me, do the following.

Find in header.php

Code:

"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=FAQ'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=([0-9]*)&categories=([a-zA-Z0-9+&]*)'",

Replace with:

Code:

"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=([0-9]*)&categories=([a-zA-Z0-9+&]*)'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=FAQ'",

And at the bottom of header.php find:

Code:

"faq.html",
"faq-\\1-\\2.html",

Replace with:

Code:

"faq-\\1-\\2.html",
"faq.html",

There you go, functional faq's. If you are using two, be sure to put the faq2 statements above the faq statements in both the header.php and the .htaccess file. Hope that helps some of you out.

And use this in .htaccess and header.php

Code:

name=FAQ&file=index

What seems to be problem, what isn't working for you?

Thanks, Audioslaved, it works with your fix. However, FAQ categories that contain periods generate some really weird URLs, since the .html is inserted after the first period. So you get URLs like

http://yourdomain.com/faq-1-first+half+of+category.html.second+half

But this is a minor issue, and it still works.

(btw, Audioslave are pretty good, but not as good as their old bands Smile

if you want to add the period I believe you only have add a period to the statement for it in .htaccess and header.php

find this in header

Code:

modules.php\?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=([0-9]*)&categories=([a-zA-Z0-9+]*)

change it to this

Code:

modules.php\?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=([0-9]*)&categories=([a-zA-Z0-9+&.]*)

now when you do the rewrite it will be able to include the periods too. Make sure you find the corresponding piece of code in the .htaccess file and add the period as well. Does anyone know if the period needs to be escaped by a back-slash, I think it will work fine without, but Im not 100% on that. Anyway, try it both ways, if ones works and one doesnt, you get the picture.

You should probably try this in both locations:

([[:print:]]*)

Instead of

([a-zA-Z0-9+&.]*)

The regex "print" checks for any printable character including space.
