#23449 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Refactor customizer accordion to work anywhere in admin

Description

We'll plan to use the default styles/structure from the customizer accordion for menu item selection options on nav-menus.php. Currently the code is very customizer specific.

  • The class names should be made more generic.
  • The CSS should be extracted and placed in wp-admin.css
  • The JS, should be moved so that you don't have to include the customizer JS elsewhere in the admin to re-use the accordion code.

I mistakenly uploaded this to #23450 yesterday. Oops...

23449.diff​ is a first pass at this.

The basic reusable structure looks like this:

<div class="accordion-container">
	<ul>
		<li class="control-section accordion-section" id="accordion-section-title_tagline">
			<h3 title="" tabindex="0" class="accordion-section-title">Title here</h3>
			<ul class="accordion-section-content">
				<li><!-- content here --></li>
			</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
</div>

So you'd enqueue the new "accordion" JS file, and drop this code anywhere in the admin.

A couple notes

  • I left all of the color CSS in wp-admin.css, since for now both fresh, and classic use the same colors for the accordion.
  • We could optionally move all of the form element styling (used within the customizer) over. I left that out of this first pass.
  • .accordion-section-content, could just as well be a DIV if you only have one block of code to add there (which is likely what I'll do for menus).

Copying my comment from #23450:

23449.diff shows no noticeable differences, so that's good.

One question I have is whether we're:

A) Breaking this out so that it can be reused in core only

B) Breaking this out for core + public use?

Whichever way we go, we should probably at the very least lay out basic usage in a docblock somewhere (maybe accordion.js)

#6 follow-up: @aaroncampbell
11 years ago

I think the patch looks fine. It's basically moving working code to a new location without changing anything (except for generalizing some class names).

Having said that, I'd like to fix some things that prevent them from being nested because someone is going to try to nest them (you know they will).

That means using closest() instead of parents(), changing $( '.accordion-section' ).not( clicked ).removeClass( 'open' ); to clicked.closest( '.accordion-container' ).find( '.accordion-section' ).not( clicked ).removeClass( 'open' );, and changing all uses of id to class.

Good call. 23449.1.diff​ should take care of those items. I just pulled the "Scroll up if on #accordion-section-title_tagline" code altogether as it's too specific to this one implementation, and to be honest, I don't think it improves the experience in any way.

23449.2.diff adds the accordion-container class to the customizer accordion. Without it sections don't close when you open a new one.

  • Resolution fixed deleted

DrewAPicture did a ton more work on this in #23450. The new strategy is that accordions are just a meta box section that is rendered differently. That way we can keep using our same meta box API.

But I don't think we're 100% there. As a test, I went into edit-form-advanced.php and tried turning my sidebar into an accordion. The sections wouldn't open when clicked. Is there some part of the JS that is not 100% abstracted?

23449.3.diff​ does a few things:

  • Enqueues accordion.js inside do_accordion_sections()
  • Removes triplicate JS that was in accordion.js (what happened there? ;-))
  • Overrides a couple of styles specifically for using an accordion on post-new.php

#23 follow-up: @nacin

I can't quite tell how much code is duplicated between do_accordion_sections() and do_meta_boxes(), but it seems like quite a bit. (And this code is, shall we say, unique, so keeping it DRY has some importance.) Could we just add an $args array to do_meta_boxes() for 'accordion' => true?

Mind continuing this discussion over in #23450 instead? This ticket's more specific to the refactored js, though they're obviously linked.

#25 @nacin

Is 23449.5.diff still needed? Drew, Dave, Mark, Sergey?

#26 follow-up: @lessbloat
11 years ago

I'd say 23449.6.diff is worth including.

  • Moving wp_enqueue_script( 'accordion' ); makes it's usage more universal.
  • The rounded corners are specific to the accordion inside #nav-menu-meta
  • The "#submitdiv", and "#poststuff" code should likely go in a separate ticket, as they only apply when you (optionally) turn the postbox's on the post edit page into an accordion.

Note: I added the JS changes in there too, since moving them makes them more universal as well.

I don't think it's necessary to check if the script is already enqueued, but other than that this seems good. Good call on taking the #submitdiv and #poststuff part out of this patch.

#28 follow-up: @helen
11 years ago

I take it back - didn't test thoroughly enough. The initial opening does not work, and because sections can be hidden but are in the source, the CSS selectors for first/last-child don't really work if first/last are hidden. It's especially bad if the first is hidden.

Ah, right, sorry about that. Should work in .7.

filter( ':visible' ) should take care of that, no?

Man, I'm rusty... Sorry, totally spaced the whole "CSS selectors" part there. I'll take another look.

#32 @aaroncampbell
11 years ago

23449.10.diff just adds a couple styles to Helen's most recent patch to account for no-js. Since sections can't be hidden with no-js it just uses :first-child and :last-child

#33 @aaroncampbell
11 years ago

Well, looks like Drew removed his patch, so the most recent is 23449.11.diff not .12. It fixes the display issue with rounded corners when the bottom section is collapsed and also hides the arrows from no-js

#34 @DrewAPicture

23449.13.diff moves accordionOptions out of accordionCorners() so we can reuse the cached var in accordionInit(). Also created sectionContent to tighten it up a bit.

Two more things in the customizer:

  • Hover/open styling for the section headers is broken. Fixed in 23449.16.diff.
  • Theme details (first section) no longer opens.

#40 @helen

Also, a note that we may want to tone down the open section header for places not the customizer so as not to confuse what's primary and what's not. Can make a separate ticket for this.

Per IRC, we are going to flip it so that sections can always be closed and leave anything that needs to be added/reinstated for one-section-always-open for later, as in not this cycle. The first visible section will continue to be loaded open. The part where the first visible section is re-opened when a section is hidden via screen option will probably also go away - as it is, it's too aggressive, as at most it should only happen if the hidden section was open when hidden.

After some discussion in IRC, I can see muting the contrast in the menus accordion styles because it (unfortunately) helps bring it better in line with other dashboard screens. And we're all about consistency here :)

In lieu of a better alternative, +1 to 23449.22.diff. We'll probably have to revisit this when we tackle mp6 anyway.

Fixes and tweaks for the metabox accordion.

  • Fixed hover issues in Customizer.
  • Toned down the default active/hover style (as it is normally not the top level menu, and should not be so prominent).
  • Allow the active section to be closed.
  • Other misc fixes.

Props ocean90, helen. Fixes #23449.
