solved FAQ module produces just one universal FAQ

In my installation of JR, which is the latest version with all updates, the FAQ module is producing a single FAQ that is shown by all profiles in all quotas for which the FAQ module is enabled.

This surprises me, because I expected the FAQ module would be like other modules that allow individual profiles in particular quotas to "own" their own features...

e.g.. when the Blog module is enabled for two different quotas, this does not create just one blog that appears on all profiles in both quotas... each profile owner "owns" the blog on their own page.

But in my case, the FAQ entries created in the FAQ of one profile appear in the FAQs of all profiles in all quotas for which the FAQ module has been enabled.

Is FAQ module meant to be a single FAQ to which many different authors (profile owners) can contribute?

I cannot see any controls that allow me to make the FAQ operate in a profile-specific manner. The only way would be for me to enable the module for just one quota, and then to create or allow just one profile on that quota.

My expectation was that a company setting up a profile in in a quota for companies could choose to use the FAQ to provide answers to questions about their own company.

Is there something odd about the installation of the FAQ module in my network, or is it not intended for multiple profile-specific and quota-specific uses?

I see it.

In this file
ACP -> MODULES -> PROFILES -> FAQ -> TEMPLATES -> item_list.tpl

Change around line 35 ish that reads:
 {jrCore_list module="jrFAQ" profile_id=$_profile_id order_by="faq_display_order numerical_asc" search1="faq_category.........
to
 {jrCore_list module="jrFAQ" profile_id=$item._profile_id order_by="faq_display_order numerical_asc" search1="faq_category.........

from $_profile_id to $item._profile_id.

To fix it now and that change will be included in jrFAQ ver 1.0.7 which will come out when the JR6.1 Beta is released.
