Hello,
I find useful to a lot of shops to have a FAQ, and I didn't find it anywhere.
I made one module with a friend to use as a F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Question), with a Javascript based acordion.To use it, just place the files in the respective folders (respective to the root of your shop), and then install it, then go to /faq.php and that's it.
Prestashop team, who made all of this real and free, if you want to use this for the following versions, that would be our pleasure.
And last but not least, if anyone wants to contribute to this, or to future development of any module, leave your sugestion, and your donation to rafaxpto-at-hotmail-dot-com in paypal.
To download the latest version please go to our SVN project in source forge.

A big thank to Joël Gaujard, who as improved a lot this module.
Cheers!

Can't hook it to eg the right side, but maybe it's not intended to?

I had a look at the code and it is not designed to be placed in the left or right columns. The module creates its own hook called pagecontent and can only be placed in it.

@mohsart & @Fabrice,
@rocky is right, I creates its own hook, to be displayed call the page /faq.php.
Thank you for the good feedback!

Thanks for this module. You should clean some files: temp file, DS.STORE files.

Other thing 2 differents files have same name: faq.php.

Hi jolvil,
Thanks for the advice, I cleaned up it now.
The 2 files with the same name are for 2 different folders and have different functions. The one in the root of the .zip file, should go to the root of your site, the other one to the faq module folder.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the hook good for then? And why not have it "hookable" to wherever one wants?

When we did that module it only made sense to have a page only for it, and as it was our first module, we probably have done it with some mistakes.
So it's probably our ignorance, not yours :)

Hi.

Thanks for this module.

However, there's no link to the FAQ page, making it useless and the page has no content, so I don't know where to put the data. Maybe in faq.tpl?

Any help?

The link is kind of the core of my discussion ;-) I think I'd like to have a ikon on top (like sitemap etc) for accessing the FAQ, not sure how to do that though.
You enter the Q&A;in the modules section in BO, (>>Configure)

Mats:
Yes, it's a good idea to put a small logo in the sitemap bar, but clients expect to see the FAQ link in the Information box. I think it makes a lot of sense.

Sure, there or in the links block is easy of course, just add http://yourshop.xxx/faq

It was developed for the PS v1.1, I actually haven't tried it on 1.2.5.
I'll try to see what I can do in the next few weeks.

thanks for the module.

I tried to install it on prestashop1.2.4 (put respective files into their folders) and get the following warning

The following module(s) were not installed successfully:
faq

when I tried insert a question, an error occurred.

I am looking forward to your further update. Thanks buddy.

Cheers

Hello rafaxpto,

Very good module. Good job.

Can i participate to it to enhance your module and make a "real" module : just one folder to drop in the modules folder.

Say me if you're agree...
