This page contains various plugins for WordPress 2.0+ that I’ve developed.

Have fun with them.

Also if you like what I do feel free to donate me something from my Amazon wish list Alternately you can make a donation via Paypal (Any amount is acceptable, even $1)

As I don’t get paid to do this and work on this in my free time any kind of appreciation is gladly accepted, even if it’s just an email saying that you like the plugin.

Kaccordion Multipack - ver. 1.1

This is an implementation of jQuery, interface, jReflection and Accordion.

What does it do? You can see just examples of the output this library can do on this demo page.

New features:

I have briefly tested this in Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7 and everything seems to work great. If you do find any bugs or have ideas for new features or just want to tell me how extremely good looking I am feel free to shoot me an email.

IMPORTANT! This version is NOT compatible with the old (0.1) version. So in case you have some old markup in your pages from the old plugin you’ll need to change this in order for the new version to work properly. Sorry for the inconvenience but this is based off of a completely different framework so this change was necessary.

If you decide to use this plugin, I’d appreciate if you linked back to www.elektronramp.com.

The files:
Kaccordion_Multipack_1.1.zip

Requirements:
Actually I haven’t tested it on earlier versions of Wordpress so I don’t know if it’ll work. But it’ll work with no problems on WordPress 2.0+.

Installation:

The JavaScript versions included in this package are specially compiled so that they only include the code needed to run the features described on the demo page. This is done to make the client download as small as possible (even though jQuery and interface are small by themselves).

Compressed via dojo shrinksafe this entire thing is only about 58kb.

If you encounter problems e.g. the download doesn’t work, there’s a typo, the code is b0rked, there’s a browser quirk or you just want to show your appreciation don’t hesitate to shoot me an email.

Kaccordion Multipack - FAQ

How do I change this and that?

A good place to start is to look at the kaccordion.css file. It contains all the styles and layouts used to create the various effects. Also snoop around on the demo page; if you do a view source there you can probably get a good feel for how things are put together.

How do I modify the files?

There are two ways to modify the files to your needs.

Go to your dashboard. Click on “Mange” and then on “Files”. Down where it says “Other files” punch in this:
wp-content/plugins/kaccordion/kaccordion.css
Now edit away and click “Update file” when you’re done. Open up the file you want in any text editor like Notepad, Dreamweaver. You can now edit your files. Save them and upload to your server, overwriting the old files, and you’re all done.

How to change the width of the accordion?

This is by far the most asked question. Changing the width is actually very easy and only requires one modification in the kaccordion.css file. Go to line 14 (where it says .Kaccordion{) in that file and find where it says “width”. Change this to whatever value suits you. Save it and you’re all done.

How to change the starting points for the floating windows?

This is again very easy to do. Depending on what float you want to change go look into the kaccordion.css file.

I want to change the fancy floating window: Go to line 55 in kaccordion.css (where it says #window{) and change the “left” and “top” properties to whatever you need. I want to change the plain draggable windows: Go to line 183 (where it says #drag1) and change #drag1 to whatever id you gave your floating window. Then change the “left” and “top” properties to whatever you need. (You can also change the width and height of these by editing the “width” and “height” in line 166; .draggable {)

Save it and you’re good to go.

Argghh!! The Wordpress editor converts all div’s to something else. What do I do?

How do I get the accordion to be completely closed on page load?

In the file kaccordion.js goto line 21 and insert this:
active: false,
alwaysOpen: false,
