We plan to create a FAQ website. It will include two types of content:
Lists of questions (FAQs), and
HTML for each answer.
When user chooses a list and clicks a question, the answer will load in Ajax style.
A very similar approach was described here: Ajax FAQ loading using jquery?
But, before we start developing our own CMS, we would like to make sure that no existing solution is directly applicable. So, my question is: are you aware of any existing CMS for creating Ajax-style FAQs?
We are particularly interested in WordPress plugins (one is listed in my own answer below).
Two solutions I found that are likely to be applicable:
WP DS FAQ: FAQ management tool for WordPress. Replaces specific code on a page with a pre-defined list of questions and answers. Requires WordPress version 2.7 or higher, compatible up to 3.2.1. Last ipdated in August 2011.
Core Design FAQ plugin for Joomla. FAQ is created out of a K2 content module. Requires Joomla version 1.7. Last ipdated in August 2011.

I am trying create a joomla component. In that component I need to store some phone numbers and those numbers should be provided when an extension asks for them. How can I achieve this? Please direct me if there is comprehensive tutorials.
Thanks in advance...
A similar question exists in the Joomla Stack Exchange site here, with links, suggestions and references to a bunch of resources around Joomla Development.
Furthermore in JSE you can find great assistance for specific questions during your development attempt.
The Joomla! support site has some links to component development:
http://docs.joomla.org/Portal:Component_Development
I see that you tagged 2.5, but version 3 is the new stable version. There is an example V3 component here:
http://lendr.websparkinc.com/
When I started, I looked at an existing extension which was similar to what I wanted and went from there.
Okay. This is the main functionality of my site. Here goes:
People register. They upload a list of whatever ebooks, movies, tv shows they have. Other people who want them will just have to 'search' for an item and they will be provided with a contact form to contact a person that has what they want. Very much like pianofiles.com but this is for a local community.
Added features could be
*forming social groups by interest
*creating events
etc..
Is all this possible using Typo3?
If yes, then how should I use Typo3 for it? (Just a basic idea)
If not, what should i use to create something like this?
Check out the TER, a quick search revealed http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/community
You could realize your project with any well known CMS or PHP framework.
TYPO3 CMS, as I see it, has a strong emphasis on the editor backend. If you don't need that at all and don't have any prior experience, I'm not sure if it's the right tool for you - unless you want to get into TYPO3 anyway!
PS: For TYPO3 web apps, there will be the upcoming Framework http://flow.typo3.org, wich is in beta
Went through many links, but its still confusing.
As per my understanding. The jQGrid javascript version is free. While asp.net mvc version is not free..
Am i right?
Please provide information
Thanks in advance!!
There are two different products: free open source JavaScript jQuery plugin and commercial product jqSuite. Some editions of jqSuite have the same name jqGrid (see here and here). The product jqSuite uses free open source JavaScript jQuery plugin internally. So it's "on top solution" based on the free jqGrid.
In general you don't really require to order jqSuite if you just need to include jqGrid in your ASP.NET project. The demos from the answer, this one, this one and many other show how you can implement it.
Another free solution is Lib.Web.Mvc (see here the demos) developed by tpeczek.
On the other side the usage of jqSuite could improve your productivity.
Look at here and here for some additional information.
I had an issues with some joomla api. The issue was that I was using the latest version of joomla and couldn't find where a joomla class, that was being called in my code, was derived . I searched the joomla api docs and found nothing relating to the class I was looking for.
I then stumbled across the refactoring change log for joomla and noticed that the function i was after had actually been moved from /libraries/joomla/form to libraries/cms/form.
Why would this be the case? There doesn't seem to be any reference to /libraries/cms in the api docs. How are we suppose to know that there are classes living there? Very confusing.
Since Joomla! 1.6 the code has been progressively split into the Joomla! CMS and the Joomla! Platform. You can see this separation in the github repository - a good place to also keep track of changes that are committed to both the CMS and the Platform. The simplest way is fork each repository and keep track of them.
As classes are updated they may be migrated to the /libraries/cms directory if they apply specifically to the CMS application (e.g. html forms are an application level function not a platform level).
I find the best place to hear about changes under discussion are in the respective Google Groups - Joomla! Platform Development and Joomla! CMS Development
[Edit]
Documentation of class's is the hardest thing to find for Joomla! CMS - there doesn't appear to be a current api listing for it, unlike the Platform API reference. Often it is just easier to read through the code.
It's also worth keeping a watch on the developer sub-site.

How can I add user comment system in joomla 1.6 articles? Its for a custom blog system. there is a article category named "Blog" in the site. I want, when user read articles of this category, they can comment on it. there are some extensions for joomla 1.5. but cannot find any good one for 1.6. i also found "discussit" for discussion. but don't like it much to use 3rd party. it would better to use a pure commenting system for a article category. you can also suggest a free blog extension for joomla 1.6. thanks in advance.
Well, it's not free but you could integrate Facebook commenting with this extension -
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-web/facebook-integration/7215#rev-92243
If FB is prevalent in your area this could be a very good solution since it has the added advantage of other FB users seeing your comments.
Otherwise, did you look st JA Comment. It's probably your best bet as a pure commenting system.
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/contacts-and-feedback/articles-comments/12078
At this point, your only other choice will be to upgrade to one of the CCK systems that has commenting built in.
Yootheme (Professional Joomla Club) has also a solution as part of their Joomla Appication Framwork Zoo (http://www.yootheme.com/zoo/index.php).
