How to use with sidebar
  • Hello Kavin,
    You're such a kind soul and I am grateful for this plugin...I am very new to Wordpress, and I was wondering how do I use this plugin with a sidebar?...Thanks in advance my friend.
  • Thanks. I've got sidebar widgets coming up next update. :)

    If you want to use the tabs or accordions in sidebars, please make sure the theme supports widgets. Follow these simplest steps.

    1) Proceed to Wordpress admin (your blog/wp-admin) and in sidebar, Click Widgets under appearance.
    2) In the following screen, you should be presented with the drag and droppable widgets and some sidebar areas.
    3) Look for the one labeled "Text Arbitrary Text or HTML". Drag that widget into any of the available right sidebar areas.
    4) Now you can enter the title and content of the text widget. We will be having our work in the content area.
    5) Following HTML snippet is a sample code for Tabs and accordions. Check out the following link -> http://pastebin.com/Axxs0TzK
    6) There are three snippets in the above code, try posting them individually into the text area to get a general idea.
    7) In short - header [h3] element holds the Name of the tab, and div with the class .wp-tab-content holds the content of the tab shown on click otherwise hidden.

    In next version, you can do all this easily. :)
  • Cool deal....You are a blessing my friend!
  • One more question please sir...I understand the instructions you gave me...but how would I get a widget (like say a list of upcoming events) into the content area?...I am new to Wordpress but my understanding of coding is pretty decent...If it's something I would have to do in the code..you can tell me...I'd be able to do it...Thanks in advance.
  • To get a list of upcoming information, you can either the text widget and input the list into a html unordered list, its simple.


    <ul class="upcoming-list">
    <li>
    <span class="date">11/09/2011 11:11AM</span>
    <span class="description">Event description</span>
    </li>
    <li>
    <span class="date">11/10/2011 12:12AM</span>
    <span class="description">Event 2 description</span>
    </li>
    <!-- rest of the list -->
    </ul>


    If you are getting this data from some API and displaying it then it's a different game. Please let me know. :)
  • Hi....I'm using the 'All In One Events Calendar' plugin and it has an 'agenda' widget that can be displayed in the side bar....I wanted to wrap the 'agenda' widget in a collapsible menu, so that the content you see is actually the data from the widget...I have a few other widgets that I want to be a part of the collapsible sidebar as well...Take a look at the sidebar on this website...This is exactly what I'm trying to do... http://eastlakechurch.com/about-elc/common-questions/ ....Thanks
  • Oh that is not possible straight away. But You might be able to do that with the next update, i Might be able to include an encloser widget that can be used to wrap any plugins. But I have to try and assess the pros/cons, i will keep you updated.

    Thanks for the patience. :)
  • Thank you sir..Take care!
