Include photos in FAQ?

Do FAQ pages support images and, if so, how do we best display them?

We're having problems getting NationBuilder to display a photo in our FAQs.

We have a group of FAQs that each have an image, the images are displayed on the individual FAQ answers but show up as "broken image" placeholders when viewing the overall FAQ page itself.

Thx KV

Hey KV --

Great question! It's actually possible to upload / include images in all of our editable text boxes (i.e., FAQs, Suggestions, Blog Posts, etc.) by using the image button on the text editor (pictured below).

KV — It looks like you were experiencing a temporary bug in the system. We’ve sorted it out, and the workflow in the official response above should work properly for you now.

Hey thanks much guys, but we did try that initially but as I mentioned it doesn’t display correctly on our FAQ. The NB code “child.question.content” (in double-braces, but didn’t include those here because this comment area seems to break them) just displays broken image placeholders for us. See http://www.thislearning.com/advisors for example. I only got it working through a work-around that used “child.attachments.first.url” instead to show the images. I commented my work-around for now until you get a chance to review— you can check out the template code for my comments there as well— please review asap so I can at least get the work-around back up for our live site. Thx again! KV

FWIW x2, just came up with the following work-around:

<a href=“%7B%7B%20child.url%20%7D%7D”><img src=“%7B%7Bchild.attachments.first.url%7D%7D” style=“max-width: 240px; margin: 0px 0px”></a>

BTW this is for FAQs that only want an image to be displayed in the Question part. For example, we’re using the FAQ page layout for our Advisory Group page where only we post questions (i.e. advisor name/photo) and answers (i.e. advisor bio).

FWIW I went through our default FAQ page code and I think I narrowed this down to the Liquid {{child.question.content}} not correctly bringing in the images. I couldn’t find any documentation on that variable. I don’t mind doing some custom Liquid code to get around the bug. Can anyone at NationBuilder point me to the right direction?
