Frequently-Asked Question (FAQ) Plugin, feedback?

Question

Just thinking about the question of what Q2A lacks in relation to older projects like Askbot... one is the FAQ, something I helped make editable when I was involved with that project.  So, here's a FAQ plugin for Q2A:

https://github.com/NoahY/q2a-faq

Features:

- add FAQ page via admin/pages
- edit FAQ sections via admin/plugins
- add FAQ sections via admin/plugins using jQuery
- add points-per-activity and priviliges-by-points tables using short-code
- show/hide FAQ sections on FAQ page using jQuery
- notify new users to checkout the FAQ on first visit
- all text and css customizable via admin/plugins

It includes a basic FAQ (stolen from Askbot itself), but it is fully customizable by sections.

It's new, so bug reports are appreciated, as always.

Notification bar:

UPDATE: fixed a bug that stops badge notifications from showing - if you have both plugins installed, you should rebuild the badge list before updating this, to avoid a stream of badge notifications.

Oops.  That function only exists in WP integration.  Thanks, I've changed it to check for the id instead.  Please update to the latest code.

I am an oracle professional and would like to contribute to q2a community, but i am not a proffesional php developer. How do i go about developing a plugin since i know only the basics of php. what framework should i use?.

Actually it's a notice, not an error.  Such display should be turned off on production sites.

PHP is pretty easy; php.net is a good place to start, also tizag.com has some easy tutorials. Google around, it's a lot like Javascript if you've ever used that.

As the text says, it's a notice, not an error.  The answer is to stop displaying log output on your site, which is a security vulnerability anyway.

I've removed that variable, so you can update the code, but do turn the display off on your production site.
