Hello. You helped me earlier with installation. Basically, I'm a newb to Joomla!, and, consequently, ARI Soft Smart Content. I need a hint or two to get started.

I've been working with Smart Content for several hours, to no avail. I've been searching this forum for step-by-step tutorials, but not seeing anything. Here's what I'd like to do. Hopefully you can push-start me.

I have an article, "California". In California, I would like to have an accordion menu/container with, say 5 titles. I'd like the accordion to initially be all closed; allow only 1 open at a time, and bounce stop upon open.

I see the sample code for getting started. Where does that code go? Do I create a module, first? While in the module, do I past all of that sample code in the parameters, or do I list only the parameters with conditions?

Experimenting, I pasted the code in the html section of the article and came up with at least what looks like an accordion. It doesn't work and of course this is wrong; but at least I got the look (sort of ).

A step by step would really help. Think, newb. Think, small, dull child.

Thanks!

Hello,

At first it seems your site template uses incorrect code for removing MooTools javascript library and removes all inclusions of javascript and CSS files which were done with help Joomla! API. It can cause problem with a lot of other Joomla! extension. You can read about this problem here. It can be fixed by yourself or provide temporary access to your Joomla! backend by email and we'll help you. That embed accordion into article, enter the following code into necessary position in article:



If you use WYSIWYG editor, switch it to plain text mode before inserting this code because if you use copy-paste method WYWIWYG editor can add extra HTML entities and breaks plugin code.

ARI Soft

Outstanding! I got it now. Plus, the headerstuff code did the trick to make the accordion action work.

I bought more ARI stuff. Great product, great service, and an education - all for $15!

Thanks again!
