Tim Carlson   8/10/2021 18:35  Is the tabs/accordion web part available for O365? Juerg   8/10/2021 18:41  Tim, we have the „Accordion” web part for Office 365: https://amrein.bitalus.com/products/webparts/o365/accordion However, it has no feature to display the groups as tabs. Sascha   8/11/2021 16:19  Is it possible to create an accordion within an accordion so that it can be expanded twice? How can I move the Webpart anywhere on the page? Juerg   8/11/2021 17:57  Sascha, the Tabs & Accordion web part currently only supports a single expansion level. However, you can create a two-lecel accordion using the "List Search" web part (see /apps/page.asp?Q=5805): Just send an e-mail to support@amrein.com so we can give you the detailed configuration settings. Justin   8/12/2021 00:02  Is there an option to "pre-expand" all accordion/rows? Juerg   8/12/2021 12:19  Justin, we have now added the new “expandall” option (to be added to the web part’s “Options” setting): expandall=1 Please re-download the web part and then update the solution. Justin   8/12/2021 16:53  Thanks! A couple more features would also help……they were on the previous version of this web part: Pre-expand only the first accordion/row (so people know it can be clicked and opened) Add “ group header template”: sometimes people want to display more info on the great header, for example people’s name + title. Thanks! Juerg   8/13/2021 13:44  Justin, we have now added the new “expand” option (to be added to the web part’s “Options” setting): expand=all expands all the entries expand=top expands just the top entry We also added the new “grouptemplate” option (also to be added to the web part’s “Options” setting) as eg. expand=top|grouptemplate=Author:{Created By} : {Title} where you embed the column name(s) enclosed in curly braces Please re-download the web part and then update the solution. Anna   9/6/2021 12:24  Is it possible to change the colour of the selected tab? Juerg   9/6/2021 12:37  Anna, yes, please enter the below into the web part's "Group Headder CSS Style" setting: active:tab color value Example: active:red Heather   4/19/2022 16:16  Seem to be having a few issues with the AE Tabs Web Part - been using it a about a year but have recently been getting an "Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist" error on pages where this web part is used. Is this a known issue or has anybody else experienced it. Any advice would be useful. Thanks Heather Rhonda   10/18/2022 17:55  Does grouptemplate work in the trial version? If so, are there any other "Options" or specific settings we need to use in order for it to work? We just downloaded the trial version last week. Juerg   10/19/2022 11:31  Rhoda, yes it works. You typically do not need to use any "Options" except in cases where you need to configure some seldom used feature. Rhonda   10/19/2022 23:46  My Sharepoint list contains a link that opens the list item in edit mode. When I use this same field in this web part using Tabs and Table with the field name specified {Last_name}, the field is not a link. How do I specify that the field is a link to this web part so that I can have that edit item capability? Juerg   10/20/2022 11:28  Rhonda, please append "/view" to the column to be linked to the item's detail view as eg. {Last_name/view} Rhonda   10/25/2022 23:23  Is there any way to line up the column headers and the columns using CSS in the webpart? Is there any way to use CSS in the webpart to modify the Header and Footer Text? Am I missing a link to documentation somewhere? I am asking a lot of questions that seem simple. Juerg   10/26/2022 16:18  Rhonda, you can directly embed HTML code and CSS styles both in the "Header Text" and the "Footer Text" settings as for example: <p style="color:red;font-weight:bold">This is the header</p> Regarding the column headers: if you are using the "Table" template type setting and have checked the "Show Table Headers" setting, the column headers should align with the columns properly. Jaison   10/26/2022 18:43  Is there a way to change the grouping icon from and arrow putting down to the + symbol of the old accordian webpart? Jaison   10/26/2022 19:24  Also, is there a way to make .AELIaccordian {float: left} instead of {float:right} Jaison   10/26/2022 19:25  Correction to below*** Also, is there a way to make .AELIaccordian::after {float: left} instead of {float:right} Juerg   10/27/2022 11:51  Jaison, we have now added the new "up" and "down" options (to be added to the web part's "Options" setting) which lets you specify the symbols used for the arrows. To display "+" and "-" symbols, please enter the corresponding "Font Awesome" unicode characters: up=067|down=068 To also display the arrows at the left (as opposed to at the right), please also add "arrows=2" as eg. up=067|down=068|arrows=2 Please re-download the web part and then update the solution. Jaison   10/27/2022 21:14  Thank you very much! Great help! Jaison   11/28/2022 19:16  Hello, I have the web part working perfectly with document libraries, but with a list, when you click on the item, it does not open the document associated with the list item directly. It just opens the list item with the link to the document as a property. Is there a setting to have a list item that has a document attached to open the file directly like the old Accordion web part? Thanks! Juerg   11/29/2022 12:27  Jaison, is the document to be opened defined as a list item attachment or as a property of type "Hyperlink or Picture" ? Jaison   11/29/2022 21:16  Juerg, they are SharePoint lists with a text field containing the URL to the document. Juerg   11/30/2022 14:43  Jaison, please rather use a field of type "Hyperlink or Picture" to define the document URL. This then also allows you to assign/display a friendly name (as opposed to the raw URL).
