Accordion to display FAQs

Submitted by kplatis on Wed, 09/09/2020 - 14:44

This is a tutorial on how to render content on sidebars using boxes rendered in a vertical orientation. It is assumed that you have already created a content type in order to render the content.

Part 1) Use the FAQ List component to configure how each node will be rendered

Each node is rendered as an expandable item. This is done by mapping the fields of your content type (eg. FAQ) to the fields of the FAQ List component.

Steps

  1. Visit the Manage Display page of the content type that you want to display (eg. FAQ)
  2. Select a view mode (eg. Teaser) and map the fields of the content type to the ones of the component
  3. Save the form

Part 2) Configure a view to be rendered using the Accordion display format

After setting up how each node will be set, a view needs to be created in order to gather and display the content items.

Steps

  1. Visit the views page
  2. Create a new view
  3. In the view:
    1. Create a display, either page or block, based on your needs
    2. Select Accordion as format
    3. Select to show Display Suite: Content and as view mode select the one configured in step 1.2
    4. Add any other filter/url/configuration based on your needs
