I have need of an accordion so that I can present all of the H3-level content in this one article:
dev.oakcreekwatershed.org/projects/clean-water/4-clean-water-starts-with-me

Ideally, when you get to this article, information starting with Agricultural Runoff to the end of the article could be presented in a series of accordions that have the detail of each section: Agricultural Runoff, Animals, Erosion and Sedimentation, Recreation, Urban Areas, Wasterwater, etc.

I tried to create new articles in a sub-category that I could then assign to this first article, but the accordion's dropdown text was truncated at 100 words. I tried to play with that but it seemed to have a word limit, so I gave up.

Is there a way to use the ZenTools accordion to do this or can you recommend another extension for in-article accordions?

Have you tried changing the charcter limit so its more than 100 characters?

Its in the title options tab

The text tab also has a setting for the max character limit

Yes, I tried that. It is the text (not the tiel) that I need to be longer. I tried 500 which seemed to help some but wasn't anywhere near the word count I needed. So I tried 1000 and it didn't change at all. So I seemed to be restricted to some max on it, but again, not near enough for what I need.

You can see in each of the sections I've mentioned that there is a lot of explanatory text.

Can I just check what settings you have now that don't work?

I don't have you as a user in my new dev site. How do I get the login to you?

I just need to know the character limits you have set for the text and title

Together with the zentools version number

Its so I can reproduce the issue locally

I'm not sure that this has cropped up / asked about before with such large amounts of text

The Title is set to 100 count and the text I set to 5,000 but it didn't go beyond much...

ZenTools version 1.13.6.

Didn't go beyond much... ?

Sorry on the apparent cut off on the last post. I meant that even though I set it to 5,000, it didn't change the amount of text displayed.

HOWEVER, I just figured this out!

Because that article being used for the accordion would also appear in the Category Blog page, I had inserted a "Read more..." break in the article. The accordion would not display more than the text just prior to that insertion!

Take a look now, at the very bottom of this page:
dev.oakcreekwatershed.org/projects/clean-water/4-clean-water-starts-with-me

That being the case, I should be able to build the rest of my accordion articles.

Now that this is displaying, I am seeing that the text is not diplaying properly, though. The accordion has sets of bulleted items, and the bulets are bring stripped. I just now checked, and in the allowed tags, it clearly has bullets code:
<p><a><ul><li><div><h1><h2><h3><h4><h5><h6><b><em><i><strong><blockquote><dd><dt><small><u><br><br />

Any ideas there? Maybe the defaults aren't working in my favor to display the bullets. Could you please confirm how these three settings should be?

Its a css a change you need

#zentools96 .zentools .zentext li {list-style-type: disc;}

You may also want to add #zentools96 .zentools .zentext ul {margin-bottom: value ??;}

This css needs to go in the custom.css file and it uses the module id so it only applies to this module

OK, I utilized your css changes and a few more, updated the link to go to a single article, and the final result is here:
dev.oakcreekwatershed.org/projects/clean-water

I am happy with this and can move on. I am sure I will use this in-article feature throughout the site.

Just to note, I assigned the ZenTools module to the belowcontent position, if anyone else needs this help.

Thanks, Paulus,

You're welcome
