Context Sensitive Articles

Hi,
I want to implement a FAQ in my site.I have 5 differant sections as my topmenu.The site consists of a dynamic left menu which is loaded according to the top menu click.The FAQ option resides in the left menu .

I want to make the FAQ link menu sensitive ie. The FAQs will be grouped according to the various Sections.As i click the FAQ link the FAQ's for the particular section should be displayed.

I am facing problems with fetch function's attribute_filter option. Iam trying to restrict the FAQ fetching with an attribute (a single choice selection) value .But the fetch function returns a null result set .

Please help..

Iam using ezPublish 3.6.1 with Apache in Linux O.S.

Hi,
When i click the FAQ link from left menu it should list the FAQ title's for the particular FAQ Group. I have created a custom FAQ class with the following fields,

FAQ Class:
faqtitle : textline,
faqGroup : single choice selection
faqQuestion : textblock
faqAnswer : textblock

FAQ group is the section name that i provided in faqGroup selection.

<div class="pagetitle">
FAQs
</div>

{* Grab all the FAQs based on the FAQ Group ID. *}
{let children=fetch( content,
list,
hash( parent_node_id, 174,
attribute_filter, array( array(
'/faq/faqgroup',
'=',
'1' ) ),
sort_by, $node.sort_array )) }

{* Loop through all articles that we just fetched. *}
{section name=Child loop=$children }

{let children=fetch( content,
list,
hash( parent_node_id, 174,
sort_by, $node.sort_array )) }

{* Display a link to the article. *}
<a href={$:item.url_alias|ezurl} >
{$:item.name} </a>
<br />

{* End of loop. *}
{/section}
{/let}

I am trying to retrieve the FAQ articles for the First section by providing a static value '1' for the attribute 'faqgroup' in faq class . 174 is node id for FAQ folder.
If i remove this attribute_filter line..All faqs are listed..

Kindly Help,
Regards..
