 * EXAMPLE: Javascript Accordion/CSS/Template
 * It’s been a long day… so I hope I get this correct here..
 * This is a bit “rough” but just here as an example..
    And once again… I probably
   have some things wrong here… but as a basic example it should work for some or
   all of you.
 * AS ALWAYS Precautionary to beginners make back ups of your database and your 
   files…
    1.) In your “header.php” or your child theme.. This must go in… `<script
   src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js"></script
   >`
 * That calls the Ajax library that contains the Accordion..
 * Assuming you already have Posts displaying with this plugin…
 * In the Templates…
 *     ```
       <ul id="purple">
       [posts]
       <div id="accordion">
       <li id="whitepurple" class="withborder"><div class="accordion-toggle" style="padding:1px;width:430px">
       [post_thumbnail width="125" height="75"]
       <span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>[post_title]</strong></span></div>
   
       <div class="accordion-content none" style="background-color: #ccffff;">
       [excerpt wordlimit=20][more]</div>
       </li>
       [/posts]</ul>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * In the “Style” —> “Javascript Box”
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       		$(document).ready(function($) {
       			$('#accordion').find('.accordion-toggle').click(function(){
   
       				//Expand or collapse this panel
       				$(this).next().slideToggle('fast');
   
       				//Hide the other panels
       				$(".accordion-content").not($(this).next()).slideUp('fast');
   
       			});
       		});
       	</script>
       	<style>
       		.accordion-toggle {cursor: pointer; margin: 0;}
       		.accordion-content {display: none;}
       		.accordion-content.default {display: block;}
       	</style>
       ```
   
 * And then in the “Style” –> CSS Box..
 *     ```
       .ul, #purple {
       border-radius: 10px/10px;
       -webkit-border-radius: 10px/10px;
       -moz-border-radius: 10px/10px;
       -ms-border-radius: 10px/10px;
       -o-border-radius: 10px/10px;
           background: #7220c9;
           margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
           padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
           box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.9);
           -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.9);
           -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.9);
           -ms-box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.9);
           -o-box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.9);
                                                 /* No borders set */
         }
       .li, #whitepurple {
           color: black;                /* text color is black */
           font-family: Arial;
           font-size: 14px;
           background: white;           /* Content, padding will be white */
           border-radius: 10px/10px;
           -webkit-border-radius: 10px/10px;
           -moz-border-radius: 10px/10px;
           -ms-border-radius: 10px/10px;
           -o-border-radius: 10px/10px;
           margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
           padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
           list-style: none             /* no glyphs before a list item */
                                                 /* No borders set */
         }
         LI.withborder {
           border-radius: 10px/10px;
           -webkit-border-radius: 10px/10px;
           -moz-border-radius: 10px/10px;
           -ms-border-radius: 10px/10px;
           -o-border-radius: 10px/10px;
           border-style: none;
           border-width: medium;        /* sets border width on all sides */
           border-color: #27d130;
         }
       ```
   
 * PLEASE NOTE: This is just an example for beginners and a bit “rough” but is working
   with WordPress 4.0 and Twentyfourteen Theme.
 * I actually have it pretty nice using a couple of other plugin’s… but I just wanted
   to put up an example for Javascript…
    AND I’m a just a beginner with a lot of
   this stuff so I know I have things incorrect but this is just an example that
   can be improved by others or to learn from for other beginners.
 * ANOTHER NOTE: You can only have one instance of this Accordion Per Page… BUT 
   if you change the Javascript for EACH “List” you can have multiple Accordions…
   that is…
    For a second Accordion “List” on the same page this should work in 
   the other “List”
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       		$(document).ready(function($) {
       			$('#accordion-2').find('.accordion-toggle-2').click(function(){
   
       				//Expand or collapse this panel
       				$(this).next().slideToggle('fast');
   
       				//Hide the other panels
       				$(".accordion-content-2").not($(this).next()).slideUp('fast');
   
       			});
       		});
       </script>
   
       <style>
       		.accordion-toggle-2 {cursor: pointer; margin: 0;}
       		.accordion-content-2 {display: none;}
       		.accordion-content.default {display: none;}
       </style>
       ```
   
 * AND then in the Template… add the different “-2” to the variables.. to reflect
   the “second” accordion…
 * HOPEFULLY I haven’t blundered this help file… But I have tested.

 * It’s great. But we need a live example ? Could you provide a link where people
   can see it live ? also we will be putting it on our site as a reference.
 * Thanks for your work, mate 🙂

 * Note: there are other Accordion javascripts available.. and Collapse’able Plugins.
   
   Some have conflicts.. some don’t. And some require additional plugin’s like Outbridges
   Nested Plugin for Shortcodes (this doesn’t).
 * Note: because I am a beginner with a lot of this.. (CSS etc) there may be errors
   
   or better ways of formating… so keep in mind this is a work in progress.
 * In the above example… take out the [post_thumbnail width=”125″ height=”75″]
    
   and it will display nicely….
 * NOTE: this example has the WIDTH set to width: 350px in the CSS in .ul, #purple
   area.
 * The PURPOSE of the following information is because of the narrower 350px width
   
   and LONG Post-Titles wrapping around the Thumbnail Image.
 * Thumbnails and for a LONG Post Title to display nicely (right of image) around
   the image
    you will need the following adjustments.
 * In the following example…
    I have my “newer” Thumbnails in Media set to 125width
   and 75 height.. So that they display nicely… For some reason… my older thumbnails
   that were set 150×150 do not get displayed nicely even if I set the [post_thumbnail
   width=”125″ height=”75″]
 * Example URL
    [http://goo.gl/80ZPrX](http://goo.gl/80ZPrX)
 * You can see in the example URL the difference.
    In THIS example with the “Accordion”
   effect… 1.) for the Text ie: [post-title] to wrap around the image you need to
   set the image to align to the left by ADDING this to the above example (original
   above) in the CSS….
 *     ```
       .img, #imgpurple {
        float:left;
       }
       ```
   
 * 2.) And then call the “image left” in the <span> argument below “imgpurple”
 *     ```
       <ul id="purple">
       [posts]
       <div id="accordion">
       <li id="whitepurple" class="withborder"  style="overflow:auto;"><div class="accordion-toggle" style="padding:1px;">
       <span id="imgpurple">[post_thumbnail width="125" height="75"]</span>
       <span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>[post_title]</strong></span></div>
   
       <div class="accordion-content none" style="background-color: #ccffff;">
       [excerpt wordlimit=20][more]</div>
       </li>
       [/posts]</ul>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * I still want to make some minor adjustments… But for the beginners they will 
   get the idea and hopefully learn.
 * AND I welcome any comments to making it better 🙂
