Changelog – FAQ Manager for Shopware 6

2.11.0

New Features

• Store API: full-text search through POST /store-api/faq/search — headless and PWA frontends can now use the FAQ search as well. Returns only active entries that are visible in the calling sales channel.
• Store API: view counter through POST /store-api/faq/view, so the statistics dashboard is populated in headless setups too.
• Both shopping experience elements are resolved server-side and therefore deliver their data through /store-api/cms/*. See Store API (Headless).

Improvements

• The shopping experience elements now always show the current state of the FAQ content. Previously they showed the snapshot stored when the layout was saved, so later changes to questions, answers or translations did not appear.
• The order of categories and entries chosen in the admin is preserved in the output.

Fixed

• The storefront FAQ search now respects the active state. Inactive entries used to appear in the search suggestions, and the result count on the search page included them.

2.10.3

Fixed

• The image gallery no longer gets stuck loading when several FAQ entries on a page contain images. The gallery library is now loaded only once per page.

2.10.2

Fixed

• The FAQ search no longer affects other searches in the shop — the suggestion panel now uses its own plugin-specific identifiers.

2.10.1

Fixed

• Invalid or deleted FAQ pages, categories and entries now return a clean HTTP 404 response instead of producing error entries in the logs.

2.10.0

New Features

• AI assistant: URL as a source — provide a public web page; its content is fetched server-side, the text is extracted and used as context for FAQ generation. With SSRF protection (http/https only, no internal/private addresses) and size/timeout limits.

2.9.1

New Features

• AI assistant (bulk generator): create entire FAQ sets from a topic or product at once, then select, edit and save them — dedicated "AI Assistant" menu entry.
• AI translation: translate selected FAQ suggestions into additional shop languages; stored as language translations on save.
• Selectable generation language; AI features only appear when the AI assistant is enabled.

Fixed

• Removed a legacy SVG icon font (lightGallery) with an external DTD reference (Shopware Store code-review compliance). No functional change.

2.8.0

New Features

• AI assistant for creating FAQ answers — "Generate answer with AI" and "Improve answer" directly in the entry form; OpenAI and Anthropic with your own API key; optional live streaming; suggestions are only applied after confirmation.

2.7.0

New Features

• Review hint on the statistics dashboard (store-compliant, dismissible, no incentive).

Improved

• Statistics dashboard: unified, centered layout and a new "Entries" column in the categories list.

2.6.0

New Features

• Per-element settings for the "FAQ Manager – Items" and "… Categories" CMS elements (first question expanded, show author, show date, date format).

Fixed

2.5.0

New Features

• Store API detail endpoints for individual FAQ pages, categories, and entries.

2.4.9

2.4.8

• Fixed: FAQ question buttons now wrap correctly on mobile devices.

2.4.7

• Fixed: Category templates 2 and 3 now correctly use faqCategoryItems instead of faqCategory.list — FAQ entries were not displayed when using template 2 or 3

2.4.6

• Fixed: ManyToOneAssociationField name in FaqListMediaDefinition corrected from faq_manager_list to faqManagerList (Store PHPStan compliance)

2.4.5

• Fixed: TranslationCollection in entity classes replaced by concrete collection classes (FaqCategoriesTranslationCollection, FaqListTranslationCollection, FaqPagesTranslationCollection)

2.4.4

Technical improvements (Store PHPStan compliance)

• Fixed: SystemConfigService::get() now passes salesChannelId everywhere for correct SalesChannel-specific configuration

• Fixed: Entity classes supplemented with missing properties from definitions
