Credits:
eviL<3 for the inspiration and idea to do something with faq (his rules page mod)
Other Notes:
I'm going to go ahead and submit this to the MODdb and I know it will be rejected since it's my first mod. (I'm a designer, not a modder /sigh)
Anyway, I felt since I got the idea to do it in this format from eviL<3's rules page mod, I would show it here first.
I have been trying to find a way to let users edit the values of the arrays via the acp but have failed miserably. I did find something similar when I stumbled upon EXreaction's (I think) FAQ Manager mod, but his is set up to only edit the values for the faq arrays, which are only two, my mod uses 23...
Side-note: eviL<3 did you know people can edit your mod using his FAQ Manager as well? Even add new categories and fields... might look into using that
Ok, so there's my first mod, have fun and if anyone has any ideas for making an acp module for this I would love to hear it.
