    Atutor version: 2.0.2
    Having vetted the FAQ (A course tool in atutor) critically, I noticed answers provided for topics in the FAQ is limited by characters. Is there any way the limit for the characters can be appended?

    The limit is 64000 characters in the database. The text fields in the form could be changed to textareas, if you wanted more increase the space in which to type.

    The templates are in:
    ATutor / themes / default / instructor /

    I don't think that directory is correct. I can't find any /instructor in the /default folder. Thanks.

    I think it is in the /mods/_standard/faq/add_question.php and /mods/_standard/faq/edit_question.php files....under the //These will truncate the content of the length to 240 as defined in the db. I must really commend your effort...trying as much as possibe to impeccably provide answers for people whether good or prat questions.
    But one more thing as regards the faq module. If enabled as a course tool to be visible in the home of either an instructor or the student, it brings up an error which I strongly believe is a general problem. There is the main header for the faq module viz (Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)), and there is also the sub entities for the questions under the main header. For example the directory is supposed to look look like this Atutor/mods/_standard/faq/index.php#(whatever number entity the question may be) instead of the erroneous Atutor/faq/index.php#(whatever number entity the question may be). Is there a way this can be rectified (how you can change directories)?
    I have dropped a snippet to elucidate better what I am trying to drive at
    Thanks

    Now that the bug is fixed, how would it reflect on the current running version.

    In the following file

    mods/_standard/faq/module_news.php

    change
    /faq/index.php

    to

    mods/_standard/faq/index.php

    As a matter of fact, the [b[sub-link is still broken, I've vetted the file and there is nothing like /faq/index.php
    Thanks

    There is the 'parent link' which is:/mods/_standard/faq/index.php
    Then there are the sublinks (depending number of faq) which is:
    /faq/index.php#9

    The parent link is working as intended but it is the sub links that are somewhat broken. I hope I've made myself clear?
    Thanks again.

    replace the module_news.php file with the fixed version:

    https://github.com/atutor/ATutor/blob/master/mods/_standard/faq/module_news.php

    The bug seems to remain the same when in a detail view. So the only way one can go about it is to resort to toggling the FAQ to an iconic view or relocate to the main navigation. With that done, the broken link would be encapsulated.
    Thank you.

    Try replacing sublinks.php with this version:

    That did not work as well. Anyway, I've decided accustoming myself with github and ultimately, I was able to rectify the broken link. You may consider critiquing this:
