Can you place a form inside of an Accordion Block?

Recommended Posts

Hello!

Is it possible to place a form inside of an accordion block?

Also, is it possible for the accordion block to have a background colour, but the content within the drop down area itself remain white/white background?

I can private message the site URL and password if this is possible.

Thanks!

I want to add a form block to one item in an accordion and a product block into the second item.

Please see the following.

For step two of the install instructions you would use the following in place of what the instructions describe.

  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  
  <script type="application/vnd.twc.em">
  
    {
    
      /*
      
        the format of each data structure is a selector source and destination,
        an action, and optional callback
        
        following is an example data structure. copy the example data structure
        below and paste after the example data structure. remove the forward
        slash asterisk and asterisk forward slash lines from before and after
        the example data structure. repeat for as many as many elements as you
        need to manipulate. this has been done once initially
        
        */
        
      /* "[ enter selector source here between double quotes replacing square brackets ]" : {
      
        "selectorDestination" : "[ enter selector destination here between double quotes replacing square brackets ]",
        
        // action value is after, append, before, prepend or replace
        
        "action" : "append",
        
        // selectorParentDestination is optional, use when you want to first
        // find a selector destination but then work up the ancestor hierarchy
        // to manipulate it
        
        "selectorParentDestination" : "[ enter selector parent destination here between double quotes replacing square brackets ]",
        
        // sourceCopy when true will make a copy of the source element and use
        // it instead of the actual selectorSource. value is false or true
        
        "sourceCopy" : false,
        
        // callback is optional, use when you want to manipulate the structure
        // of the source element. replace undefined with the name of your custom
        // function

        // action value is after, append, before, prepend or replace

        // selectorParentDestination is optional, use when you want to first

        // to manipulate it

      "#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1725146240654_17387" : {
      
        "selectorDestination" : "#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1725146240654_6957 .accordion-item:last-child .accordion-item__description",
        
        // action value is after, append, before, prepend or replace

        // to manipulate it
        
        "selectorParentDestination" : "[ enter selector parent destination here between double quotes replacing square brackets ]",
        
        // sourceCopy when true will make a copy of the source element and use

        "sourceCopy" : false,
        
        // callback is optional, use when you want to manipulate the structure

        "callback" : "[ enter callback name here between double quotes replacing square brackets ]"
        
        },
        
      }
      
    </script>

After you've gotten the code working and moving the blocks, you will want to verify that those moved blocks still function as expected. Sometimes moving dynamic elements like this can cause issues.

You will still need to deal with getting rid of the descriptions you added.

Let us know how it goes.

Oh my gosh, I can't thank you enough for all the work you put into that! Sadly, your instructions are well beyond my non-existent coding skills. I think I'm going to have to ditch the accordion altogether. I am grateful for your help, though!
