Don't forget
Murphy's Law: after all bugs are found, there is still one left.
and the law of Conservation of misery (no gain without drain): The code needed to resolve a bug, will introduce another bug.
But without laughter: Yes: we need progress, but not at all costs.
The point is: will we make a module for the elite (with PHP 7.8.9) or make we a module for everyone?
So, I restate my question: will the module function better or do more with filter_var as opposed with intval? (Maybe easier to program, but that is not the point.)

I can can put in a if statement to determine the version of PHP for the input filter and use an alternative function to filter the input.
If it is simply duplicating the function, then it has no sense to complicate the program. If it brings no addition functionality, you can then better use the method that fits for all. When it brings better functionality (unrelated eg PHP 5 users can get their list sorted on a alternative way and PHP 4 users only in one way) then it makes sense to make a version dependent split way in the program.

smartFAQ:Excellent and powerful
No longer develop it????
Yes,
they still do.
But from that same thread:
Seems there is a problem in
blocksadminand they have difficulties to keep up with XOOPS 2.3:

I'm unsure of SmartFAQ will work correctly on XOOPS 2.3.x - as several areas of compatibility problems rose from this release.
Are we making XOOPS incompatible with XOOPS?
Quote:
Why not SmartFAQ?
Because this module is not a official XOOPS Module. The Module you speak of belongs to the Smart Factory and it is up to them to develop the module further.
I know myself that this module doesn't do half of what I would like it to do, but the main point is getting them ported over and working on 2.3. Then we shall start adding the new features and getting it to a decent standard.
Is this not a bit reinventing the wheel? I think starting with the best module in the FAQ genre, would give more a headstart of it. After all, they are GPL, aren't they?
Catzwolf, I made my points, but it is your call!

I can't extract the zip archive. Do I need an updated decompressor?
Here, no problems with eg Winzip 8. What program do you use?
Maybe your archive is not complete and you may try to do the download again.
You may also try 7zip.
