DotNetNuke® Project :: FAQs Module

FAQ Project

The FAQ module allows you to create a list of questions & answers. All questions are hyperlink buttons and will expand when clicked on. Only one answer is displayed at any given time.

If one throw a lot of brainstorming on the project, it can grow to become both a complex and functionality-rich module. I think a better approach would be to implement a few desireable features first and capture feedback on the path forward for the module.

Here are the first features that we will include in the next version of the FAQ project.

  • Use the ClientAPI to avoid postbacks when clicking on a question. A positive side effect of this will be that multiple answers can be viewed simultaneously.
  • Allow for the ability to change the View Order of individual questions. Preferably using a visual interface.
  • Allow for the ability to hide questions instead of deleting them.


Here are some other goals open for discussion for the long run after these inital features are implemented.

  • Submit Questions
  • Categories
  • Metadata
  • Workflows
  • Search Filter
  • Skinning
  • Multiple Views
  • Attach relevant links
  • Knowledge Base

Only the formal process again before the FAQ project is ready for deployment. Meanwhile I have been busy holding a few AJAX seminars for Microsoft here in Norway. We achieved all time high in amount of visitors and more than 2000 people signed up for the four events in Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen & Stavanger. Still two more to go!

www.ajaxwidgets.com
Apropos AJAX there's something really interesting going on here in Norway. Two friends of mine have been doing ajax bottom up for the last couple of years and now you can see the result on this site: www.ajaxwidgets.com

The implementation is on a pr/control basis and is perhaps the simplest way to do ASP.NET ajax I have ever seen. All the controls can be downloaded for free and tons of sample applications are available.

The magic is it's ease-of-use, it's lightweight and it uses the code-behind model we all are familiar with. No updatepanels or web service calls. It's definately worth your time checking it out.

Anyway,

Talked to Scott Willhite here yesterday too and we agreed to do a couple more DNN videos in www.traincert.net quality in the next couple of weeks too. Those videos will of course be put out on the DNN site for free when they are ready.

Cheers,
