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?
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).

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.
