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 “groupttemplate” 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 |
