Has anyone had any luck with an accordion menu in Joomla 1.5? I had a lot of luck with JW Tabs & Slides in 1.0.X, but I can't get it to work in 1.5, even in legacy mode. It throws an error looking for modules_html as soon as it's enabled.

I've tried both suggestions in this post. The AJAX Module enables fine and lists the names of the menus in the position it points to, but when you click on the names of the menus, nothing shows up.

I can't figure out how to make jlomenu work. The options in the module are just too cryptic for me.

Anyone have any luck in 1.5?

There is a remake of native tabs&slides for Joomla 1.5 here: http://download.joomlaportal.ch/content/view/1105/

Thanks, MarHaj. The remake is great and works perfectly. However, it is for the Tabs & Slides (in content) plugin. I'm looking for 1.5 compatible version of the module, which works great for accordion menus. I'm just a hack when it comes to php, so I'd like to find one already updated by someone better than I!

Wow, I have been looking for this discussion for a long time.

I am also looking for this type of menu for a while now. Specifically, a module that load multiple modules within it, preferably through tabs, but the accordian metaphor is also very compelling.

I believe that this would allow people to do super powerful things, like multiple instances of the same module, but with different settings.

And it has to be Joomla! 1.5 compatible, because that's our future.

[nhudell]

I thought I might just add a little problem that I have been working on that could make this a whole lot easier.

I was reading on the Joomla Prodigy forums about a way in J 1.0.x to load up modules via the {mosload code thingy.

Here's a snippet from
http://www.joomlaprodigy.com/option,com ... /catid,15/


{tab=Vote}

{mosloadposition user11}



that was in aid of loading modules in JP's ajaxtabs. (J 1.0.x only)
http://www.joomlaprodigy.com/option,com ... temid,159/

If anyone knows how to load modules via the {mosload code thingy, we might be a step closer to our goal.

[stu-goblue!]

Interesting concept, nhudell. I've used the Load Module plugin before, but I can't get it to work with the custom module. I also couldn't get the  JCH Tabs & Slides Plugin to work in the custom module.

I have been slightly successful in getting JW Tabs & Slides to work in 1.5 by hacking together some files. Unfortunately, it's not quite right and I am having difficulty getting past my ignorance in PHP to understand how modules work in 1.5. So far I've got the basic functionality working, but the styling is off. The output for classes and ids is different when running in 1.5 vs 1.0.X. I'm still trying to figure out what's happening.

If I get it to work, I'll post the code here.

[nhudell]

Sounds exciting Stu!

I can't wait to see your results. Even if your not fully happy with your results,you should still post your final work, maybe the community will be able to make a break through!

[nhudell]

I have made huge strides! Thanks so much to user SineMacula for answering my PM He provided me with the tip of using this cool J1.5 code:

{loadposition moduleX}

which I successfully used to load modules within the tabs.

This let me create an article with the tabs inside the content. I was not able to make this work within a cutsom code module

My solution was to just create a new Article, and then change the settings to not display any of the meta data (author, created date...), and then I set the article to load on the front page. This provided me with a front page that shows a row of tabs with modules inside the tabs!

I know this is not ideal, and that to use this functionality inside a module, rather than in an article would be much preffered. But perhaps this will work for some people.

Next step, to find a module that loads a specific article, rather than rendering HTML! This might be the solution, to design the "module" as a new article, and then load the article so that it does not look like an article, but just the tabs and different modules.

[stu-goblue!]

Sort of Solved - at least enough for my immediate purposes!

Attached is my "upgrade" of JoomlaWorks' Tabs & Slides Module for Joomla 1.5. A few notes are in order:

• This module should install in 1.5.
• It is not at all robust (i.e. I'm sure that there are bugs and errors). In my installation, it works fine except that when setting Hide module title inside tabs or slides to No, the title of the final module in the position to which T&S refers is also listed as the title of the T&S module. Try it and you'll see what I mean. I have no idea why this is happening, but I don't need this functionality in my application, so I'm not worried about it at this time.
• This is a hack job. My level of knowledge of PHP is very low, so please feel free to expand upon what I've done and create a much better solution.

Notes on what I did:

• Changed defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) to defined( '_JEXEC' ).
• Copied the frontend.html.php file from the includes folder of 1.0.X and renamed it to helper.php in the mod_jw_ts folder.
• Added require_once( dirname(__FILE__).DS.'helper.php' ); to mod_jw_ts.php
• Modified references to styling files, such as /modules/mod_jw_ts to /modules/mod_jw_ts/mod_jw_ts.
• removed the javascript output referencing the css file and replaced it with html. I doubt this was necessary, but I didn't see the need to use javascript.

I think that's it. I didn't have to make any changes to the javascripts.

Note that enabling this module on the same page as the Tabs & Slides Plugin breaks the plugin. The module still works. I suspect that this has always been the case and is due to javascript conflicts.

I look forward to seeing someone who actually knows what they're doing fix this module correctly. Have fun!

[nhudell]

Thanks Stu!

This module worked perfectly for me!

[nhudell]

After the wonderful success of getting the tabs module to work, thanks to stu, I am now trying to fit 2 modules into 1 tab.

Has anyone tried doing this?

I am going to use the multiple tabs to show different instances of the same module. But in addition to this, I am trying to display 2 slightly different instances of the module.

This sounds more complicated that it is, i think. The module loads upcoming events. Each tab is for a different location. But I would like to have the module show upcoming events next to another instance of the module showing current events.

I know this is kind of going down the rabbit hole, but I'm sure that there must be a simple way of doing it.

if only I could find a module that would load 2 modules as a single module. Then the single module could be assigned to a tab.

As this discussion has switched gears to J1.5, I have re-phrased my last comment in the J1.5 Modules section.

Thanks for this work!

But i've this in the slide after I clicked it :
Notice: Undefined variable: style in C:\xampplite\htdocs\xxxx\modules\mod_jw_ts\mod_jw_ts.php on line 87

Notice: Undefined variable: count in C:\xampplite\htdocs\xxxx\modules\mod_jw_ts\mod_jw_ts.php on line 87

Whats the bug with this line?
// module caching
$cache->call('modules_html::module2', $module, $params, $Itemid, $style, $my->gid );
} else {
modules_html::module2( $module, $params, $Itemid, $style, $count );

Somebody knows why? or have same problem?

Thnaks for your help,

gg

I am getting a 500 Internal Server Error on the pages I have specified to load this mod. Anybody else had this?

[res_q_pilot6969]

Thanks for the J1.5.1 plugin version. I have found one issue and not sure if it was a problem before in J1.0.xxx . When using the slides with alot of content, it will run-off the template without expanding the template. Anyone else have this problem? Any known fixes for it?

Thanks in advance.

[gg6954]

no sorry. I can't help you. I avoid to insert too much content, because the slide is too slow..

And, I 've always my bug :
Notice: Undefined variable: style in C:\xampplite\htdocs\xxxx\modules\mod_jw_ts\mod_jw_ts.php on line 87

So I'm waiting for an original 1.5 version.

Hi,

I am very keen to find out when Joomlaworks or some Php guru to update the old Tabs and Slider module from Joomlaworks.


Cheers.

There is an Accordian Menu that renders modules in it here: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/
It is 1.5 native as well.
