Setting up Accordion

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

Greetings - first of all apologies for what is most likely a stupid question so apologies in advance.

For the life of me I cannot comprehend how I get content into an accordion. I went to the demo page and see the tag used for the accordion - {loadposition accordion} in my case - I checked the documentation but did not find what I need to do for setting up the accordion and populating it, searched the forum and did not find the needed info either.

Can someone please point me in the direction of the documentation for an idiot or if it is a simple thing, please advise. I've spent a lot of time so this is not a frivolous post.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ron,

Do you have the structure of the menu set up?

The link that acts as the toggle needs to be a separator link type
Then the articles are children of that link

Cheers

Greetings Paul and thanks for the response.

I am not wanting to list articles in the accordion - I want to use them for FAQs with a title, or topic, and content as a response - don't want that as an article from the menu; rather, as independent items on a page.

To give a visual, here is a Joomla site that I've done a while back - this is a link to the page showing what I need to accomplish: www.babaji.net/index.php/teachings/quotes

I appreciate you taking the time to assist me with this - I'll know better how to proceed by using this accordion or the component I'm using on the site mentioned above. Another consideration for me is the others that will assist in this project - which will be simpler for them.

All the best and thank you once more Paul,
Ron

2. Link behaviour - none
3. Layout - title and text

In the content settings

Well Paul, you have now been "upgraded" to Prince Paul

Thanks much for this assistance. This (support) is one of the reasons JoomlaBamboo is top of the list.

All of the best
