I recently made some more changes to the accordion to make it more user-friendly and also nicer. According to the client’s request, I added a plus / minus symbol that toggles when show or hide, some animations to make the information blocks slide smoothly, and some stylings.
Here’s my result.
I think it’d be nice to start this short weekly post :p. This week I’ve been into Chopin’s Variations on Mozart’s “Là ci darem la mano” from Don Juan. I personally prefer the orchestra / piano version, so I’ve marked that time stamp here!
A client recently discussed with me the options for a collapsible / accordion FAQs section, since her site has a very long FAQs. She’s been getting away with incorporating anchors, but she’d still prefer an accordion. Tim suggests that something like the Department of Economics site, but it does seem pretty complicated and the client would like to implement it herself. So I’ve written up a simpler version of the accordion in pure HTML / CSS / JS, and it seems to work well.
Here’s my test site: https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/sta-11/ (toggle “Continue” to show / hide the paragraph).
The client said she’ll look into it, give it a try, and let me know if she has any questions!
I’ve recently been tasked with cross-checking the old COLA Help Guide (http://www.laits.utexas.edu/colaguides/) with the new one. I created a spreadsheet to keep track of my progress, and I think it’s looking good so far.
I’m asking Estella and Bridget to look over one particular guide (old) where it explains the roles of admins / editors, etc., which I think might be useful for our KB site, particularly on guiding STAs on how to set up a new Cascade site for the client and granting them roles. I’m not too sure about this specifically, so I’m waiting for their review on that!
I’m finally done with the two-part instructions of editing in CLIO. Here are the screenshots of my completed CLIO demo site.
Here are the banners for the two parts:

I haven’t been updated my blog at all this week, but that’s because I got super excited and into this project of editing the instructions for CLIO modules. I’ve made a lot of progress throughout this week, and the two-part training is coming together. I’m very excited for the STAs to try out this training and give me some feedback for revision!
Please excuse the fact that the navbar banner is Liszt’s Consolation No. 4 despite me rambling about Rachmaninoff T.T, anyways you can listen to the piece here ;).
Here are some screenshots of my CLIO site.
