RE:Creating FAQ Page

Hello,

When you say you see this option under "New Document," do you mean the templates that are listed when you create a new Page through the CMS Desk?

If that is what you need help with, please see this section of the Developer's Guide:

Creating a new page

If you saw the option somewhere else (such as in documentation) and are not seeing the option to create a FAQ page, you can create your own template for this:

RE:Creating FAQ Page

Follow these steps:

1. Go to Site Manager -> Development -> Document Types
2. Edit the 'folder' document type
3. In the child types tab, click "Add document types" and add the FAQ document type. If you would like to have a FAQ section at the top level of the menu, also perform the same edit for the 'root' document type.
4. Create a new FAQ aspx template, using the existing News template as a guide (file located at ~\CMSTemplates\<site name>\News.aspx
5. In your new template, make sure the repeater uses the class CMS.Faq instead of CMS.News and select a transformation from the list of transformations for the FAQ document type (edit that type and look at the Transformations tab).
6. Continuing to use News.aspx as a guide, modify your new template to suit your needs, removing, adding, and modifying the web parts as needed.

Regards,

Allen Greenhaw
