collective.faq 4.0.0

Features

• As reviewer, I can add an FAQ.

• As reviewer, I can add an FAQ item to an FAQ.

• As reviewer, I can add an FAQ item (a “subquestion”) to an FAQ item.

• As reviewer, I can use rich text to create an FAQ item.

• As reviewer, I can link to an existing FAQ item.

• As anonymous user, I can see an FAQ list.

• As anonymous user, I can search the FAQ and FAQ Entry.

Compatibility

• The versions 3.0.0 and above support Plone 6.0, 6.1, 6.2.

• The versions 2.x.x are used for Plone 5.2 / Python 3.

• For Plone 4 and Plone 5.0/5.1 support, please use versions 1.x.x.

Configuration options

Since version 3.1.0, we show JSON-LD structured data in the head section of an FAQ. Google may show this data in search results for some websites. Google restricts the html tags that it shows, so it may help to show less options in the TinyMCE editor. When you set environment variable COLLECTIVE_FAQ_RESTRICT_TINYMCE=1 (or similar true value), we show a stripped down editor.
