Added slider5 to Nebula template

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

I went into the php file for the sliders and added a 5th slider. Everything seemed to be working well; I used a custom html module in the position and all was hunky-dory. Until, I decided I needed a zentools accordion module and not the customer html module. I am not a developer; I know enough to be dangerous. I can get a zentools slider to work partly, but definitely not the accordion with just title and text. Other places on the website have accordion modules (using load position in articles) and work fine. Just my poor little slider5. Did I do something wrong?

Not sure if that will work - I'll ask when Rob or Anthony when they are available

The problem is that its dynamic content inside dynamic content

What happens with the accordion when you add it?

The site is on-line; I'll switch to the accordion module so you can see it; right now it is the customer html module and it works fine.
I thought maybe I had over-stepped my limits. ;-D

Meant to do that, Paul. ;-D
BTW - I did get it to kinda work by duplicating from my slider 2. So that's an oddity, eh?

Thanks for partnering with me on all these fixes. I gotta get Rob some Karma too.

Sincerely,

Just placed a dup of slide2 in the slide5 position. Huh. I'm not going to touch it until you see it.

Isn't that a grid rather than a zentools accordion?

We try our best :)

Right. It's a grid. You know you can access the backend. I just have to find a way to send you the username and password I set-up for Rob.

at the moment leave it and I'll ask either Rob or Anthony if I'm right that it isn't possible to add an accordion here

Well, it works until I try to use the title. I have to pick-up my girl; I'll be back momentarily.

Okay, so I think this is what I've discovered:
Title is the problem. Other sliders won't do an accordion either if I use the title. Perhaps it is because the articles aren't linked to a menu item. I'm going to try to do the hidden menu trick and see if that fixes the problem.

I can get it to work with any other tag, but not title.

Yes it's find as long as it's not the first tag. If I want the accordion to open with the title tag, it completely disappears. Check back now; Slide5 has nothing in it because I selected the title as the first tag.
