Plugins

The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

jQuery Simple FAQ


SimpleFAQ makes visually pleasing and interactive lists of questions and answers. All questions are shown, with the answers hidden until the user clicks on the question. You can also add a search box (using quicksilver) to search and sort the questions (and answers) by relevance.

Note that this plug-in requires the Quicksilver jQuery Port!

Feature Highlight:

  • Use simple JSON array or existing HTML for data source
  • Show questions and hide answers by default, clicking a question shows the answer
  • Quicksilver searching of questions and answers with relevancy sorting
  • Add tags to questions/answers to increase relevancy of searching
  • Events triggered for extra handling hooks
  • Lightweight (3.5kb minified)

Basic usage:

<div id="faqSearch"></div>
<ul id="faqList">
<li>
   <p class='question'>Some question...</p>
   <div class='answer'>
     <p>The answer...</p>
     <p class='tags'>a tag, another tag, more tags</p>
   </div>
</li>
...
</ul>

$('#faqList').simpleFAQ({
  allowSearch: true,
  searchNode: '#faqSearch',
  minSearchScore: 0.5,
  sortSearch: true
});

See web site for list of all options and some examples.
