[Plugin: FAQ Builder] "Error Occured" and messy JS

This plugin has a lot of issues semantically as well. It’s just ugly code. But, it works; sort of. The problem seems to be that no matter what the requests.php is returning status 404 which SACK fires the onError for anything other than a request 200. They should switch to wp_ajax_nopriv and get rid of requests.php entirely. I’d also like to see a nonce used instead of their makeshift ID validation.

Anyway, I know it’s been 3 months but quick fix: comment lines:

27

of javascript.php

They need to also get rid of that file file or switch it to just JS because it never caches and it’s a cumbersome file. The whole returning JS kinda sucks too. Anyway, the plugin does work and it’s easy for clients to use on the back-end.

I know this topic is kind of old, but I had the same problem and I found a slight problem in the coding. I changed one line of code to thank my visitor for submitting a question rather than it coming up with an error but still providing thank you text on the page. To fix this, look for a line of text like the following in the javascript.php file:

mysack.onError = function() { alert('An error occured while submitting. Please reload the page and try again.') };

You will see several of these in the coding, but I only changed the first one. Change the text between the ‘ ‘ to whatever you want your visitor to see. Example:

mysack.onError = function() { alert('Thank you for your question!') };
