Functionality

Gets the job done. Works well once you have it set up. Would be nice it there was a WYSIWYG editor.

Ease of use

Really easy to set up and get going.

Support

THE BEST SUPPORT EVER! Submitted a ticket with two questions and received an immediate response that fixed everything!

Value for money

Great value for the money!

Owner's reply: Thank you Mary-Lynne! Thank you so much.

Great Extension Excellent Support

The extension is a module. In the module you enter your titles and text content to be used in the accordion. There are other fields to format the accordion.

This is not a plugin to be used within an article. So, the content of the accordion must be managed within the module and it is not a WYSIWYG editor you are using.

Having said that the results look great and can be inserted into an article by inserting this standard Joomla thingy inside your article where XYZ is the position from which you want to pull all module content assigned to that position.

I asked a couple questions and Rajesh send me a very quick response with both an answer as well as a recommended change to my CSS for a problem I was having.

Great stuff!

Owner's reply: Thank you Paul! :)

Excellent Support and Great Module

We needed to make content of an article expandable and collapsible, and that's exactly what this module can be used for - among other things.

An improvement of this extension would be to create a plugin, which enables use of tags in articles and other content that would do the same thing.

But great extension that does what is says! And the support is excellent with very quick responses to questions.

This module is excellent. It makes my website look fantastic. The accordion design makes the pages much more user-friendly. I found it installed easily and was easy to use. When I've had an issue, the developer was very quick to respond. I highly recommend this module and would like to thank the developer for this tool and the good support.

Good service

A unique and user friendly content accordion, which allows for multiple custom styling and personal control.

Interestingly, you develop your content within the module setup (as opposed linking to the external content of an article or category).

The author provides excellent support and is seriously committed to the quality of their work.

Owner's reply: Thank You!

Great Expanding/ Collapsing Module

After installing 4 other modules, I bought this one. Super easy setup and very flexible styling. Was equally blown away by how responsive the team was in adding new functionality when I needed it. Had a response within 12 hours and a new version with the response. Thanks for such a great mod.
