I installed the FAQ MOD and have noticed that one of the questions does not appear: How can I use smilies and images?

I did add the default questions with the mod, and the above question does appear on my FAQ Admin page, but does not appear at all on my faq.asp page. The answer to the question appears though.

How can I make this question appear with all of the other questions?

I also just noticed clicking on the question: What does it mean if a forum has Moderation enabled? does not go to the answer because it is no longer there.

OK, after playing around a bit, I answered my second question. I had moderation turned off. When I turned it on, the answer appeared. However, shouldn't the question be off the FAQ page only if moderation is on?

Anyway, my smilies question also appeared after moderation was turned on. Is there a way to have this question even if moderation is off?

sounds to me like there is an 'if' statement in the wrong place

Did you check the "Auth Type" for each FAQ Category?

I set it to "All Visitors". If I turn moderation "on" it shows the smilie question, if I turn it "off" the question goes away.

HuwR is probably write, only I don't know anything about an if statement.

I found the problem. I think this is a problem in the MOD (perhaps just a typo).

I found this line:

If (intFaqType = 2) and (strModeration<>"1") Then allowedFaq = False

and changed it to:

If (intFaqType = 16) and (strModeration<>"1") Then allowedFaq = False

Now the Smilies question appears and the Moderation question and answer only appear if moderation is turned on.

There was also another question asking what are moderators. I turned this off too if the admin has moderation turned off. Here is what I did:

Find this If (intFaqType = 4) and (strAllowForumCode<>"1") Then allowedFaq = False and add this after it: If (intFaqType = 5) and (strModeration<>"1") Then allowedFaq = False
It should look like this:

If (intFaqType = 4) and (strAllowForumCode<>"1") Then allowedFaq = False
If (intFaqType = 5) and (strModeration<>"1") Then allowedFaq = False

Then find Case 5 and and this after it: if (strModeration = "1") then
It will look like this:

Case 5
if (strModeration = "1") then

Then add an end if before Case 6. It should look like this:

end if
    Case 6

Thought you said you don't know any asp

Sounds like you know more than you thought.

Great job finding it.

I don't really. I'm just pretty good at noticing things already in the code and trying them out. Plus if I mess something up, the error pages point me in what I should probably have. Eventually (hours later) I'll find it.

Hmmm... now I need to go check my sites and see if I see the same problem.... though I've always had moderation on, so it may not have been noticeable.
