Creating an Accordion Widget For Pages and Posts with jQuery

Hello MIUSM friends, this time I will share a simple tutorial that can be used for all blogger and wordpress platforms. Of course, my friend is already familiar with this one widget, namely the Accordion which can show and hide certain content in the form of text, images and so on.

Usually this widget is used for the FAQ page or blog Landing page which is useful for explaining a basic question from a customer and when the question is clicked it will bring up the answer. The design that I provide in this tutorial is simple enough to be suitable for all types of blogs that you use.

This widget is useful for friends who have blogs with service themes or blogs that need to show hide image/video content or other content.

How to Install the Accordion Widget on a Page/Post

The first step is to make sure you have the following in your blog template:

1. Font Awesome Versi 5
2. Jquery

Please go to Blogger > Templates > Edit HTML >

Put the following CSS code above the code ]]></b:skin>

/* CSS Accordion */
    .collapse{display:none}#accordion h3{margin:0}.showx .collapse{display:block}
    .collapse .card-body{padding:10px 25px 40px;color:#555}
    button.btn.btn-link{display:block;background:#fff;border:none;outline:none;width:100%;margin:10px 0;padding:10px 25px;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;text-align:left}
    button.btn.btn-link:before{content:'\f107';font-family:'Font Awesome 5 Free';font-weight:600;font-size:2rem;color:#122949;position:absolute;left:25px;top:15px;opacity:.7;transform:rotate(-90deg);transition:all .3s ease-in-out}
    .showx button.btn.btn-link:before{transform:rotate(0deg)}
    .card{background:#fff;box-shadow:0 2px 2px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.1);border:1px solid #eee;border-radius:5px;position:relative;overflow:hidden;margin:10px 0;padding:0 0 0 40px}
    .card-header button h4{font-weight:400;color:#122949;font-size:1.1rem;margin:0}
    #accordion .card-body img{margin:20px auto;border-radius:7px}

Next, put the following script code above the code </body>

<script>
    //<![CDATA[
    // Accordion FAQ
    $("#accordion .btn").click(function() {
        var get_target = $(this).attr("data-target");
        $(get_target).slideToggle("fast");
        $(this).parent().parent().toggleClass("showx")
    }), 
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var get_target;
        "true" == $("#accordion .btn").attr("aria-expanded") && (get_target = $(this).attr("data-target"), $(get_target).slideToggle("fast"))
    });
    //]]>
    </script>

Save.

Next, please go to the post editor and go to HTML mode.

If so, make sure you have marked the position to put the Accordion code on the post.

Here is the Accordion code:

<div id='accordion'>
    <!-- CARD START -->
    <div class='card showx'>
    <div class='card-header' id='heading1'>
    <button aria-controls='collapse1' aria-expanded='true' class='btn btn-link' data-target='#collapse1' data-toggle='collapse'><h4>What is Blogger?</h4></button>
    </div>
    <div aria-labelledby='heading1' class='collapse' data-parent='#accordion' id='collapse1'>
    <div class='card-body'>Blogger is an American blog-publishing service that allows multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was developed by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. The blogs are hosted by Google and generally accessed from a subdomain of blogspot.com. Blogs can also be served from a custom domain owned by the user (like www.example.com) by using DNS facilities to direct a domain to Google's servers.</div>
    </div>
    </div>
    <!-- CARD END -->
    <!-- CARD START -->
    <div class='card'>
    <div class='card-header' id='heading2'>
    <button aria-controls='collapse2' aria-expanded='true' class='btn btn-link' data-target='#collapse2' data-toggle='collapse'><h4>This product have a guarantee?</h4></button>
    </div>
    <div aria-labelledby='heading2' class='collapse' data-parent='#accordion' id='collapse2'>
    <div class='card-body'>In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Vivamus eget elementum nibh. Mauris ultrices, arcu et sollicitudin volutpat, massa nisl aliquet leo, non ornare nulla libero in metus. Integer et enim a lacus convallis dapibus.<center><img alt="Image" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iOFUOKk9bCQ/WV1_zhDERFI/AAAAAAAAGmk/utNJHjqsNu0eILsN2rO4jkpR3knNShlMQCLcBGAs/s400/material%2Bdesign%2Bui.png"/></center></div>
    </div>
    </div>
    <!-- CARD END -->
    <!-- CARD START -->
    <div class='card'>
    <div class='card-header' id='heading3'>
    <button aria-controls='collapse3' aria-expanded='true' class='btn btn-link' data-target='#collapse3' data-toggle='collapse'><h4>How about the Documentation?</h4></button>
    </div>
    <div aria-labelledby='heading3' class='collapse' data-parent='#accordion' id='collapse3'>
    <div class='card-body'>Maecenas pulvinar tincidunt ex. Sed ullamcorper suscipit nisi a semper. Ut sed egestas leo. Quisque at ex magna. Sed mollis faucibus mollis. Nunc sed aliquet lectus. Aenean massa neque, iaculis a augue nec, pretium mattis massa.</div>
    </div>
    </div>
    <!-- CARD END -->
    </div>

I've marked the parts with <!-CARD START-> for the beginning and <!-CARD END-> for the end.

If you want to add a box, make sure you change the numbers on the card:
