Accordion error for side menu

Hi, I have been wondering if this is a problem or not... basically, the side menu does not collapse like an accordion does, and it is going to grow rather long with the amount of categories I need to add to it, and I was thinking that I will need to add an accordion to make it more manageable. However, I have just seen that there is an error on my page and the error is this:

Accordion is not defined
[Break On This Error] new Accordion(toggler, content, {


I assume that because this is an error referring to an accordion, then the side menu is meant to collapse and expand as needed. Could you please advise as to what is wrong?

Many thanks.

I also had that problem awhile back.. and was too busy to fix the problem.. so I commented out the code....yup.. real smart!... I'll be interested in a fix for the issue.

I've just found the error is on line 15 of functions.js

Line 15 is:

<h3><a href="../../../../products_results.php?Search=1&ProductCategoryID[]=' . $row["CategoryID"] . '">' . $row["CategoryName"] . '</a></h3>';


AND, why is it all accordions use h3 as the tag? I always use h3 in my designs, and to overcome any h3 text becoming an accordion, I have to compound my CSS :o(

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

on the webassist/plugins/side_menu/nested_accordion/sidemenu.php page, find the following line:

<script type="text/javascript" src="functions.js"></script>

and change it to:

<script type="text/javascript" src="../accordion/js/accordion.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="functions.js"></script>

Cheers for that Jason, I now have the accordion working as I suppose it was meant to work, but is there any way to make the sub levels of the accordion disappear too? If you look at products_results.php you see that I have a number of options on display in the side menu.

The top level are green, and the sub levels are grey. I would like to hide all the grey so the green are only visible until they are clicked on.

How can I do that without breaking the menu? I assume it's a case of moving the accordion level up one, but I'm not sure how to change this.

Thanks again.

Just to clarify why I need top level accordion affects on this. Eventually, when I have the full amount of categories in place, I will have 8 top level categories, and each one of them will have 7 sub-categories and again each with further sub-sub-categories and so on.

So even with the accordions closed to their fullest extent as they currently exist, I will have 60+ items on display in the side menu, which is clearly too much for any user to want to look at in one go.

I keep trying to edit it, but I just can't see where to amend the code to achieve what I need.

Thanks.

in the webassist/themes/<your theme>/plugins/plugin.php file (where <your theme> is the theme you are using), change:

$WASideMenu = new

 WA_Include('../../../plugins/side_menu/nested_accordion/sidemenu.php');

to either:

$WASideMenu = new WA_Include('../../../plugins/side_menu/sidemenu.php');

or:

$WASideMenu = new WA_Include('../../../plugins/side_menu/accordion/sidemenu.php');
