Accordion Shortcode

[chameleon_accordion item="1" id="x, y, z"]

Here “1” is your accordion shortcode number. You can add unlimited accordions and use any number of shortcode.

example: [chameleon_accordion item="1" id="1"]

Accordion shows you all uncategorized posts ( or all terms id=”1″, or term_taxonomy_id = “1” )
Create a few posts in the category that will be displayed in your accordion.
The accordion does not show the item if the item’s id is the same as the id of the current page. So on the home page the accordion does not show the item with post_id = 1 “Hello World!”
We assume that there is no need to show the item in the accordion if the user has already opened the page of this item.

ACCORDION SETTINGS

1. Add ANY TAXONOMIES. You can use any taxonomies ids:

   [chameleon_accordion item="1" id="1, 2, 3"]
   

   You can use any categories, tags or woocommerce categories via ids of column “term_id” from table “wp_terms” of your wordpress MySQL database,
   OR use url-reference of the category in the backend admin panel

   wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=category&tag_ID=1
   

   See Accordion Settings

2. Create ANY NUMBER of ACCORDIONS:

   Set number of your accordion. For example: item=’1′ …

   [chameleon_accordion item="1" id="1, 2, 3"]
   

   Accordion does not work without №(number) of accordion ( for example: item=”1″ ) and without id of taxonomy( for example: id=”1, 2, 3″ )
   The style file will not load if the accordion does not have any posts(items).
   For example: write shortcode

   [chameleon_accordion item="1" id="1"]
   

   to place accordion with Uncategorized posts WordPress where you want

3. title=”…”

   Add the TITLE of the ACCORDION.

   [chameleon_accordion item="1" id="1" title="My Accordion" ]
   

4. tag=”…”

   Set the POSTS’ TITLE TAG – p, div, h1, h2, h3, h4 …

   [chameleon_accordion item="1" id="1, 2, 3" tag="h4" ]
   

   ( default paragraph “p” )

5. height=”…”

   Set the HEIGHT (px) of ALL POSTS in the accordion.

   [chameleon_accordion item="1" id="1, 2, 3" height="100" ]
   

   ( default = 45 px )
   If the height of the item is less than 215px, when you hover the mouse over the item it opens to the height = your_item_height + 150px, if the height is more than 215px, the item opens to its maximum height.

6. limit=”…”

   LIMIT the number of POSTS in the accordion, using limit = “5”.

   [chameleon_accordion item="1" id="1" limit="5"]
   

   Items can be permanent or temporary. Remove only temporary items from the accordion using the LIMIT function.
   Articles that do not need to be deleted using the LIMIT function must contain a shortcode with the accordion number in which these posts are to be kept permanently:

   [chameleon_kit item="1" ]
   

   If the post contains the shortcode [chameleon_kit item = “1”], this post will not be deleted using the LIMIT function and is a permanent post.

   Temporary posts are posts that do not contain shortcodes [chameleon_kit item = “1”].

   Among the temporary posts, if your limit allows, there remain posts in which the last ones were modified. The oldest posts are removed from the accordion.

   ACCORDION ITEMs’ SETTINGS

   Add

   [chameleon_kit item="..." ] 
   

   to the item’s text to set up HEIGHT or ORDER of this item.

7. [chameleon_kit item="..." height="..." ]

   Set HEIGHT (px) of any ITEM in the accordion.

   Add

   [chameleon_kit item="1" height="600" ] 
   

   to the post(item) text.

8. [chameleon_kit item="..." order="..."]

   Set ORDER of ITEMs.
   All items are ordered by last modified in the item, but you can change the order of the items by specifying the order of the item in the text of this item;
   order=”last” if the item should be the last in the accordion, or order=”1″,if the item must be the top one in the accordion:

   [chameleon_kit item="1" order="1"] … 
   [chameleon_kit item="1" order="last"]
   

9. Use DRAFT to create item without link to the post. If post has “post_status” “draft” in your accordion and has shortcode
   for example:

   [chameleon_kit item="1"]
   

   then the post does not have the link to the post and the link “read more” to the post.

   To DELETE DRAFT POST from accordion you have delete shortcode [chameleon_kit item=”1″] from the text of the post.

   Unlimited Shortcode

   Here you can create unlimited accordion group with unlimited shortcodes. So using shortcodes you can display your accordion on multiple page and post.
