Accordion Panel Magic v1.0.4 update

Updates APM to include an optional Current Marker feature that automatically highlights links in your page's Accordion Panel components that match the address of the current page. The system also opens the content panel that contains the matching link - automatically, when the page loads.

Important...

This Update requires that the full Accordion Panel Magic version 1.0.3 is already installed on your computer. It will not work otherwise.

Do you need the update?

You only need to update If your current Accordion Panel Magic version is 1.0.3. To be certain, open Extension Manager and check your version number. If your current version is 1.0.3, you need to download the 1.0.4 Update

Tip: Save the downloaded update file to the same location that contains your original Accordion Panel Magic extension file. Should you ever need to re-install, install the original version first, then the update.

Installation

  1. Double-click the downloaded MXP update file: P7_APM_upd104.mxp
  2. When prompted to overwrite existing files, choose Yes To All
  3. Restart Dreamweaver to complete the update process

DO NOT Uninstall your current version. This is an update and requires that a full version is already installed on your system for a proper update. After installing the update, Extension Manager will list both the orginal (full) version and the update version.

To use the new current marker feature

Open the Accordion Panel Magic interface and check the Use Current Marker option. You can set the option independently for any APM component on your page.

Will it work on existing Accordion Panel Magic pages?

If your existing Accordion Panel Magic component was made using the original version of the product, you will need to follow this procedure:

  • Open a page that contains an Accordion component you want to update
  • Open the CSS panel and note the name of the APM style sheet used for that page. The CSS file will be called p7ap_01.css - p7ap_06.css depending on the style theme you are using. Make a note of the CSS file name.
  • Locate the p7ap folder inside the folder that contains your page. Find your relevant CSS file and delete it. Dreamweaver will warn you that it is linked to your page and ask if you'd like to delete it anyway. Click Yes.
  • Locate the APM script file, p7APscripts.js, and delete it. Click Yes at the Dreamweaver warning.
  • Go back to your page and place your cursor anywhere inside your Accordion Panel component and open the APM interface as if you were going to edit the component.
  • Make sure the Use Current Marker option is checked
  • Click OK

The system will generate new script and CSS files you and your current marker will work.

Don't forget to re-upload the p7ap folder to your web server.

Note: Depending on your Dreamweaver configuration you might not be able to see the current marker working in local previews. It will, however, work fine online.

Can I change the current mark style?

Yes. In your updated CSS file, locate the CSS rule named .p7ap_currentmark to your liking.

Can I use this feature in Templates?

Yes. Please click the Help button in the APM interface (after installing the update) for detailed steps on how to deploy in Templates and in cases where you want to open a content panel on page load that does not contain a link to the current page.
