jbsAccordion

Collapsible items and accordions (also nested) for Joomla 4+5 (Bootstrap 5)

Doesn't come with a big framework or a lot of gimmicks. It's only one single php-script with less than 200 codelines. But it (hopefully) does it's job.

Works now with Joomla 5 without Backward Compatibility Plugin

Configuration

The plugin uses Bootstrap 5. (which is part of Joomla 4+5)
By default the "collapse" part of bootstrap is loaded. However some templates are loading their own Bootstrap Framework, what may interfere with the default one. In this case you have to disable this option.

Usage:

single collapsibles: {jbscard Headertext} ... content ... {/jbscard}

accordions: {jbsgroup} ... jbscards or subgroups ... {/jbsgroup}

2nd level accordions: {jbssubgroup Headertext} ... cards ... {/jbssubgroup}

Single Collapsibles:

{jbscard Single Collapse}
   <h4><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Content</em></span></h4>
{/jbscard}

Accordions:

{jbsgroup}
   {jbscard First item}Content 1{/jbscard} 
   {jbscard Another one}Content 2{/jbscard}
   {jbscard Third}Content 3{/jbscard}
{/jbsgroup}

Nested Accordions

{jbsgroup}
   {jbscard First item}Content 1{/jbscard}
   {jbssubgroup Nested Accordion}
      {jbscard 2. Level item}Content 2.1{/jbscard}
      {jbscard this too}Content 2.2{/jbscard}
   {/jbssubgroup}
   {jbscard Third}Content 3{/jbscard}
{/jbsgroup}

You can format the header too:

Format the header text only (not the whole tag) and use span instead of h1,h2.. Don't use block-tags either.

{jbscard <strong><em><span style="color: #3366ff; font-size: 150%;">Formatted</span></em></strong>}

---

The Plugin can translate the tags from Reguar Labs Sliders (which a the moment doesn't support Joomla 4) in a limited way. (No parameters in Headertag, No nested accordion).
You can activate this by enabling convertRLsliders in jbsaccordion.php:

protected $convertRLsliders = 1;

---

You can style the accordions in your custom.css by overwriting the bootstrap-styles. In the above pictures I used:

div.accordion-item { margin:5px; }
button.accordion-button { background-color:#F8F8F8; padding: 8px 16px; }
