Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This module provides FAQ functionality on top of Solr.

Just by adding the module to the project, you'll get a ModelAdmin for FAQs, where you can manage Questions & Answers. You only need to add an FAQPage type (comes with the module), and some questions and answers.

The module comes with its own Solr search index, customized to have a fuzzy search, and has its own file for stopwords and synonyms.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- [Fulltextsearch module](https://github.com/silverstripe-labs/silverstripe-fulltextsearch), v2.1.0 or up.
- [Phockito](https://github.com/hafriedlander/silverstripe-phockito) and PHPunit for testing, not required if you don't care about running tests.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require silverstripe/faq

```

Run a database rebuild by visiting **. This will add the required database columns and tables for the module to function.

Ensure you have `silverstripe/fulltextsearch-localsolr` running (See this modules docs for starting local instance of Solr).

Run the Solr related tasks:

```
$ ./framework/sake dev/tasks/Solr_Configure
$ ./framework/sake dev/tasks/Solr_ReIndex

```

##### If you are using CWP

[](#if-you-are-using-cwp)

Check how to configure this module to behave like CWP-Solr [on the docs](docs/en/cwp.md).

Quickstart
----------

[](#quickstart)

1. Add a FAQPage to your CMS
