[Pro] Accordion menus

Just a general enquiry really.
The current Moo tools conflicts with the Protaculous actions – which is rather sad as the accordion action (which is a very elegant solution to creating side-ranging menus) would work very well with the ‘sticker’ action.
So I’m wondering if there is an alternative ‘accordian’ action under development anywhere?

Wish list material!

There is the ScriptyAccordion Action, which is compatible. What it
lacks that would be important in a navigation menu is any way to
indicate which item in the menu should be expanded. I started working
on a navigation-centric version of it, but never got very far before
becoming really busy again. Not sure when it’s going to come around
again.

If someone else has a moment, the basic idea was that the function
would scan the accordion at page load, and if it found a link to the
current page, it would look up the accordion tree for the nearest
header and expand that section – and optionally mark the link to self
with a classname for further styling (make it bold and not look like a
link).

Hi Walt,

Yes, the scriptyaccordion just doesn’t work as well.

If I had your grasp of all things code – I’d probably have a go at writing something, however, in truth the technical stuff flies way over my head…

As usual, many thanks for your feedback!

What other actions are you using/want to use - there may be viable alternatives that will work with the Moo accordion.

Hi there

There is suiteFX on Actionsforge which has an accordion element that may work better for you and plays nicely with the other actions as well.

http://actionsforge.com/projects/view/102-suitefx

This was planned as a replacement to mooTools but sadly all development stopped a while ago. However I find it still works well (touch wood!).

All the best

Dave,

I wanted to use an accordion with the sticker action (so a side mounted menu with logo always remains visible) in conjunction with the Protaculous full-page, proportional background image.
Conceptually speaking, these 3 elements go some way to creating a very dynamic interface. If you then combine these with a carousel… Conflicts on so many levels!

Gordon,

I’ll have a look at suiteFX again later – for now, I’ve dropped the idea of using sticker and have come up with a work-around for my background image.

Cheers guys.
