Title: Just the faqs
Post by: corster on September 14, 2004, 09:27:10 pm

Where is the faq ipk? The link to it from the Unoffical faq page is broken. Any idea  when we will get the faq baq?

Unfortunately due to hurricane Ivan, the faq ipk is simply missing.  If anyone happens to find it somewhere in the Carolina's vicinity, please let me know.

honestly though, i need to do some work on creating a new ipk.  the challenge I keep running into is that the faq is integrated into the main site, and I want the ipk to be just the faq, nothing else.

if anyone has any suggestions on how to best do that, please let me know.  otherwise, i'll work on fixing that.

Can you give more info on how the FAQ is stored at your end? I assume it is stored in a database.  How is the field format?  Maybe I am being naive but wouldn't it be possible to pull just the FAQ portion straight from the database?

BTW, the current version is packaged so that it will not install to SD or CF.  IIRC you need to put it in /opt/Qtopia/whatever instead of /home/root.  If you want a hand with creating the new ipk just let me know.
