New Install. No problems just saying thanks and...

[XavierBlak]

Just installed phpmyfaq on my company's intranet and I must say I'm really happy. It's nice and flexible as far as getting it to integrate with the overall design of the site. And it's going to be great getting all our documentation into one central knowledgebase.

I just have one question at this point, pretty much figured everything else out. I see that maximum size for attachments is limited to 2MByte. What specifies this limit and can it be changed if need be?

Just some other wishlist things that popped into my head:

A system similar to BBcode for adding specialized tags. I'd find this useful for linking to our product pages (not faq pages) because the front of the url stays the same and I could just put the partnumber in block tags or something.

User Configurable fields. Just blanks fields that the site admin name and choose whether it is displayed. This is useful if you want to have other things tracked that you don't want to stick into the actually FAQ article.

Thats's all I have for now. Thanks again for a nice piece of software.

You can change this in your php.ini file.

I won't support BBCode in the future. A possibility could be using something like <pre lang="php"> or <pre lang="perl">.

You mean something like a form designer. Cool idea, I'll put it on our todo list...

thanks.

Welcome.

Not sure I follow what you mean. Are you saying writing a function that would format the text the way I want? Something like this?

function format_text(In_text)
{
return "PreString" . In_text . "PostString";
}

And then calling it in the faq article?

Yeah I was thinking simpler than a form designer but that would be even cooler.

Cool. Is this something that is available now? And if so how would you make that call from the article? Sorry my exposer to php is still a little limited.

Hi,

this will maybe added in 1.6. Stay tuned!

Okay cool, guess I'll have to wait for 1.6 on that.

One other thought I had. You probably won't agree with this since you keep the admin and viewing section very disconnected. But I'd like the ability to, while I'm viewing an article, if there is something I want to add to just click an edit button. I'd of course still have to log in but it would just stream line the process of maintaining the FAQ, at least for me.

[Thorsten]

Hi,

this will be possible in 1.6 because we rewrite the whole authentication and authorization stuff to make this possible.

Just a hand up to say I'm really interested in the click-to-edit-this-faq functionality, it's certainly not essential but would be rather nice. I often don't really read the item until I get to look at it on the user screen and then I realize how I've blundered around verbally !

[Thorsten]

Hi,

we're starting on this feature in April!
