Can I add a K2 'read more' in the Zentools Accordian

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi, I know usually an accordion when clicked shows all the info but in my case there is too much info to show. The next accordion link gets lost. So I'd just like to have a short intro then a 'read more'.

This way people can quickly see what each Item is about (too much info for it to be added to the title) then if they are interested they can click 'read more'.

In the module parameters I've dragged in the 'more' Item but the 'read more' is not showing.

Also maybe a Zentools dedicated forum category is worthwhile here?, I couldn't see it.

Hope someone can help, thanks ;)

Hi mark,

If you add a more tag inside the Zentools settings then that will link directly to the K2 item.

Is that what you mean?

Hi Anthony, I want to add a 'read more' link to the K2 Item within the accordion but even though I've added the 'more' tag within the module parameters the 'read more' link is not showing up.

I can see where the link should be with Firebug but it is empty:
<div class="zenmore element3"></div>

Hey Mark,

Do you have a readmore set in the source item?

Thanks Seth, yes that was one of the first things I checked in the K2 Category parameters for 'Item view options in category listings' 'read more' is enabled.

It works fine when viewing the standard k2 category page, just not in the zentools module.

I have a feeling it is to do with all the Javascript errors?...

Hi mark.

Actually do you have the animate read more overlay enabled. You can find that in the read more panel option in the module settings.

If that doesn't solve it please create a ticket and I'll take a look for you.

Anthony.
