On the main page I have a menu link, "Projects".
The sub link, "Customer Review Sites" is supposed to be a Article Category listing, so all articles under this category is supposed to show.

What shows doesn't look good.

I'd like the text color to be navy blue and the background rectangular div, could I get an accordion feature there?

I don't want users to navigate away from the page so an accoridon feature whereby they click on the article title and accordion simply opens and shows the article.

From there users can choose another article title to open and read and the previous one they chose would close.

How can I get this?

I am using Buildr which is suppose to be very flexible. Hoping for some flexibility here.

Last but not least, I'd definitely like to know what you did.

Hi There,

With each position row e.g. bannerwrap in your case there are options to control the font colour for text and links - currently you have to set to #fff for this row

I would suggest moving the content area to main rather than bannerwrap

Bannerwrap isn't really intended as the content area for articles / components etc and I'm not sure what will happen if you want to add a sidebar

    Regarding the accordion you will have most control over the content if you use zentools2 and the core loadposition syntax

    Are you familiar with using the core loadposition syntax?

    Inside Zentools2 there is a layout called accordion

    The content source will depend on how you have the content structured
    In most cases people will use individual articles e.g. uses the article title as the trigger to reveal the introtext of the article

    Are you familiar with setting up a zentools2 accordion?

    Cheers

    I have it in Bannerwrap because if I didn't the tabs would be ontop the content of my home page. I need the content ontop of the tabs on my home page.paulus1031

      Hi

      In that case I'd suggest creating a template style for the home page and then create a new template style for other pages of the site e.g. one template style assigned to the home page and the other template set as default

      Do you need any help with what I talked about above?

      Okay the default Buildr template for the site has the 'Main' container back in it's position and the 'Home page' has it's own Buildr default home page, for the home page only. Now I need help with the accordion thing you were saying.

      I made this change and my home page went wack. What happened? Everything is jumbled up and mixed up. The logo is not in the logo position, the Video Tutorials section is ontop of the "We solve problems" that should be first. What happened?

      I definitely need help. The changes you made are gone, I'm not seeing a tab in the Buildr Default Home Page. I had to move the 'Maint Content' container back under the banner. So it's like when I duplicated the template all the settings went back to default. This is fustrating. Hoping the help could be quick.

      Do I need to use Akeeba Backup and revert?

      Did you duplicate the template style and not change any of the settings?

      Duplicating the template style is a little different - did you give a unique layout name when saving the layout inside the template settings?

      Did you also save the existing preset you created and then load that in the new template style

      I went into Extensions->Templates-> and duplicated from there. Then I changed the name and choose the menu assignment to the home page only for the default home page template. That's what I did to duplicate the template.

      The template, "Buildr - Default Home Page" doesn't have a tabs container. I need the tabs in that. The tabs is in the other one, "Buildr - Default" but that is the default and will be used for the 'Site' How do I get the tabs in the Default Home Page template? The the Default Home Page template will have the tabs and the rest of the site will use the Buildr - Default. You didn't show me how you got the tabs container. How did you create that?

      Okay, don't worry, I'll switch the name but I would very much still like to know how to create the tabs container in the template.

      Okay, I saved the layout and loaded it in the other template. So this is a start. But I would like to know what you did to get the tabs container.

      As soon as you let me know how you created the tabs container, you can go ahead and close this post..

      How the template / frameworks is that the user can drag and drop positions into different rows
      To activate the tabs row click the tabs pencil

      You then click the position and drag and drop the position

      It is also possible to drop positions in different rows as needed

      Cheers

      Okay, this was a long winded one but that's okay. Back to my original question in this post, how do I get my articles to show on the 'Category listing' link. The articles don't show, as demonstrated in the screenshot in the original post. Here are a few links that show what I am talking about:
      http://product-adviser.com/proto2/index.php/projects/real-estate-sites2

      http://product-adviser.com/proto2/index.php/projects/prototype-sites

      And the 'Title' text. Where is that configured?
