Example FAQ Slider Usage

Below are more complex uses of FAQ Slider. The examples are designed to be walk-throughs and do not cover all functionality of the plugin and these solutions may not be the most efficient ways of producing the desired effect. We plan to improve the plugin to simplify some of the steps necessary.

Creating a page with multiple tabs/sliders from multiple categories

1. Make a category called "General" and 3 FAQ categories called "one", "two" and "three"; also a module position "four".
2. Make an article in the "General" category called "FAQ Article"
3. In that article place the following text:
   
   FAQs One
   
   {faqslider}one{/faqslider}
   
   FAQs Two
   
   {faqslider tabs}two{/faqslider}
   
   FAQs Three
   
   {faqslider sliders}three{/faqslider}
   
   FAQs Four
   
   {faqslider mod/tabs}four{/faqslider}

   
    
4. Then make a menu item displaying the "FAQ Article" from the "General" category. What you will see will be:
   
   FAQs One
   Articles from category one in default display.
   
   FAQs Two
   Articles from category two in tabs display.
   
   FAQs Three
   Articles from category three in sliders display.
   
   FAQs Four
   Modules from position four in tabs display.

Sliders nested in tabs   **This is now simplified with the section syntax

1. For this advanced technique, you must be using the plugin in "Full article" mode - check that the parameters in the backend show as in the screenshot:
    
2. Make a section called "FAQs"
3. Make categories in the "FAQs" section called "General", "five", "six", "seven" and "eight" 
4. Make two articles in the "General" category called "FAQs A" and "FAQs B"
5. Make a series of articles to populate categories "five", "six", "seven" and "eight" 
6. In the article "FAQs A" place the following text: **
   
   FAQs Five
   
   {faqslider sliders}five{/faqslider}
   
   FAQs Six
   
   {faqslider sliders}six{/faqslider}

   
    
7. In the article "FAQs B" place the following text: **
   
   FAQs Seven
   
   {faqslider sliders}seven{/faqslider}
   
   FAQs Eight
   
   {faqslider sliders}eight{/faqslider}

   
    
8. Then make another article, "All FAQs" in some other category. It can be uncategorised if you like. In this article place the following:
   
   FAQs
   
   {faqslider tabs}general{/faqslider}

   
    
9. Then make a menu item displaying the "All FAQs" article. What you will see will be: **
   
   A set of tabs:
   
   Title 1: FAQs A
   Content 1: Articles from category five and six in sliders display.
   
    Title 2: FAQs B
   Content 2: Articles from category seven and eight in sliders display.
    

** In some setups the nesting feature does not work as expected (i.e. allowing in situ editing of the article). A work around for this problem is to upgrade to 0.6.1.1 and change the syntax for the nested sliders. For example, above in steps 5 and 6, the workaround nested syntax would read 

Disadvantages with this approach are that content plugins are not processed on the article that is placed in the slider and the article is not editable in situ.
