Mini Mods - jQuery Accordian Module for vBAdvanced Pages

Description:
The jQuery Accordian Module for vBAdvanced pages will give you an attractive multi-paned sliding accordian panel for your vBAdvanced page(s).

It is easy to install and easy to configure. I have supplied for core files and installation, you need to supply the images and text content.

See the DEMO in action at vBBits on the right of the portal page.

vBulletin 4 version can be found HERE

Basic Installation:

1: Upload both folders (and their contents) to your website root (e.g. /public_html/ )

2: Go to your forums AdminCP/Plugins & Products/Manage Products then Add/Import Product and select the file 'vB-Product.xml' and import it.

3: Still in AdminCP/vBA CMPS/Download / Upload Module then 'Module to Upload' and find the file 'vBA-accordian-Module.xml'
Active =>Yes
Style to install templates to => whatever
USERGROUPS => the way you want.
Then click 'Submit'

Integration, This module was designed specifically to be used on one of the side columns @ 175pixels width. Keep that in mind when putting it on a page.

4: Go to AdminCP/vBulletin Options/Accordian Plugin Settings (should be at or near the bottom of the list.)
You will need to upload some suitable images of 150x75 pixels in dimension, this can be altered, though the CSS file will need to be edited if you use an image of another size. The first two settings in the CSS are where to make any changes. It's all commented.
I have included very simplistic pictorial help in the AdminCP for this product.

The first three panels are 'On', the next two are switchable, off by default.
Each panel needs the URL to a unique tab image, and a link to where you want that image to point (any internal or external full web address)
It also needs some text content and title (have a butchers at the Demo again to see how I have done it)

Save your settings, and all should be fine with the World

On the vB3 Version, I have been unable to find ANY other product that this clashes with, on the vB4 Version I have no idea! I only have a bare bones development version installed. Any feedback on the vB4 version could be helpful though.

The template 'adv_portal_aaa' is simplicity itself, look through it, use the code, play with it, make it look the way you want it to be, it's all yours

nice mate, tagged for now. thanks, this looks good.

Wow this looks very very nice.

Any hope that you can make the accordion for horizontal blocks for vB 3.x

Would it be hard to make this work for forum pages only, as I don't have vBAdvanced.

I see no problem creating it, the only problem I have been having is the physical sizing of the container, which is, as would be expected, fixed. If you have multiple themes installed, and they are of varying widths (fixed/fluid) there will be issues I'm afraid. But that said, I will work on one happily and see what comes out of it.

Thanks for your quick reply..

For my case a horizontal accordion with sponsor banners, needs to have 950x110 pixels in size. But I am sure, with some clear guidance, everyone could possibly change the dimensions to their needs.

Have a nice day.
