How to Add Field in FAQ Item

[mfileto]

I would like to receive instructions in how to add a new field in the FAQ item.
I already created the field "type_item" in the database under table "faq_item" but I do not know how to get the field to display the information from the database while viewing the article, and also do not know how to insert the field information into the Database (already placed it in the DTL file and it is showing fine.

Thanks,

M.

this requires development

Hi,

I understand it requires development... and by the way, thanks for your prompt response.

However, I would like to receive some direction or instruction on the structure of the variables declaration in order to MAP it and display the information (perhaps, INSERT or UPDATE as well, this would be consequence).

I could identify the main module FAQ.pm, the intermediate module I would like to change CUSTOMERFAQZOOM.pm and the interface .DTL... where I already placed the drop down box. But I do not understand how to connect a variable to the database of the system. Could you provide me a quick overview/schematics of the relationship connecting Database - Variables?

thanks a bunch !

read the the Code in Modules and the Templates to understand the code.

You should have some experience on Webapplications and Perl to develop the needed changes
