Accordion FAQ ModulePlugin

Supports 25+ preconfigured display themes.

Accordion FAQ is available in either module or plugin form. It allows you to easily add a Frequently Asked Questions section to any article. The FAQ is made up of content that exists in the article and can contain anything (images, lists, tables, etc.) that can be placed in an article.

Latest revisions:

Minor changes for IE7 compatibility. Added two new options. Open multiple allows more than one faq item to be opened at a time. Scroll on open scrolls an opened faq item to the top of the page.

after trying out several FAQ extensions I settled on this one when we started out with our Joomla 1.5 site. I am so glad they updated the extension for 2.5 and will be using it for my new site as well. Thank you for making exactly what we needed.

This is one of those extensions where there is absolutely nothing I would change if given a magic wand. It does exactly what it should and it works exactly how you would hope it would work. It takes just a few second to have a perfectly formatted FAQ on the site and it looks really great.

This extension is simple and works exactly how you think it should. It displays professionally and couldn't be any easier to set up.

both plug in and module are very nice and effective. i tried many tabs and sliders module in my RTL site but this extension worked for me. only problem is that syntax is not straightforward but it has many options that offset this issue

I thought finding a decent FAQ extension would be a huge trial-and-error process -- but I tried this one first, and it's terrific, and so easy, a blindfolded chimp could use it!

I am disappointed that you found accordionfaq hard to use. I thought that the documentation provided was fairly good. Obviously I was wrong. I will try to improve the docs as best I can. Please feel free to visit our forum and tell us what problems you encountered. Thank you for your comments.

Extension is very easy to use and customize. It also comes with may styles straight out of the box. Documentation is informative and provides examples. I had an issue and contacted the developer via his forum the issue was promptly responded to, troubleshooted and resolved.

I've used this module occasionally for about a year and recently had a site that needed multiple FAQ's on one page. I turned to Accordion FAQ again and had trouble getting the module to work as I liked. However, a post in the forum was picked up very quick by the author and he helped me get the plugin of this tool working exactly as I needed.

Overall, this is a great tool to use for stylish FAq's. It's easy to customize, looks great and the support is excellent!

I was looking for a simple faq extension, since I needed no categories or other cool features that other extensions might have. It should be easy to use, reasonably flexible, and easy to edit by the client.
Accordion FAQ was just right for the task.

Initially I had a problem that turned out to be due to me not reading the manual properly. Fixed it with a hint I found in the extension forum, and a very quick response from the author.

Not really a FAQ-specific extension, but a general pourpose accordion that could be used for many other things as well.

AccordionFAQ is saving me loads of time with lists and subdocs. I have two FAQs in one article and multipe FAQs on one website. (I need to find out the limit.) I was able to customize the artwork with the CSS. One small issue with an extra layer of formatting behind the text but I designed around that. Just beware of using semi-transparent images in the header. Even so, this is a very good extension and worth the time to try out.

Select this plugin from line with the same function in Joomla 2.5. This one has very smooth slider effect and great support from author. When one page with accordion FAQ did not worked I write e-mail to Ken. I get helped advise next day! Thank you, Ken!

I reviewed/installed about 3 other accordion products, and finally found AccordionFaq. Binned all the others !

I use it both as a module and as a plugin. The online help is detailed and I found whatever I needed very quickly. I now use the extension to showcase youtube clips, articles and (obviously) some FAQ.

Editing the CSS is relatively easy, and I now have my own icons to indicate open and close status. The transition is smooth and very elegant.

Some quick technical advice - some templates use and format this header. This may mess with the accordion when used as a module. In this case - you can just set the AccordionFAQ seperation tag to be and all clashes are avoided. Easy.

This product is better that most commercial extensions. If you don't like the colours and icons (which there are PLENTY of, and VERY EASY to select), you can use your own by tweaking the style sheet.

Thanks!

I would rather give this extension 4.5 than 4. but let me explain why it's not a 5.
I tried 5 different FAQ extensions for my Joomla 1.7 site. This struck me immediately as being the best of the bunch. Why?
- There actually IS usable step-by-step documentation, can't say that for two of the competitors. The docs are produced using the FAQ software itself.
- The free version WILL help the more demanding user, it's not just bait for upgrading to a "Pro" commercial variant.
- The concept is simple, you create your content in a Joomla Article provided you can switch your editor to HTML mode for adding simple code.
- There is a variety of "looks and feels" and you can browse them easily in the documentation

Let me explain why it's not a 5-star rating. I'm a less experienced Joomler, and despite following the instructions religiously, I made 2 errors which cost me time and frustration and led me to seek help from the Forum. This is patrolled by the AccFAQ author, Ken Lowther, and he was superb. He had me sorted out after just a 2+2 post conversation. Absolutely beyond fault.

I've since discovered that CCS3 commands work fine in the templates, so I can pretty up the boxes to look like my site's Contact Form.
In short, I'm going to continue using AccordionFAQ on my site. And as they say, actions speak louder than words.

This is a great extension. I have used for over two years with joomla 1.5 and now am thrilled to find the guys have an updated option for 1.7 !!!

I have also used some other paid extensions which are no where near the quality of this one. Great looking plugin, with remarkable documentation.

keep it up fellows!!! thanks!

Installation: A snap!
Setup and configuration: no problem so long as you take the time to read the Module and Plugin instructions.
I think I spent about 20-30 minutes just playing with all of the configuration options.
This has to be one of the easiest, stylish and useful extensions.
GREAT JOB!!!

I'm using the module version and it completely ROCKS. I had no trouble at all getting it set up and published to my FAQ page. I did have one little issue with the icons not showing up the way they were supposed to. Posted a thread in the help forum and less than a day later the author gets back to me with the answer. Simple fix. I hope that Ken continues to develop this extension.

I've tried MANY FAQ extensions and this one is the only one that didn't give me any mootools/jquery compatibility issues. Works in all browsers.

Thank you for a great extension!

This is one of the best plugins I've used. It's simple to setup and works perfectly. No bugs and no conflicts. The documentation on the website is complete and easy to follow.
What makes this even better is the support. I asked a question on the forum and the developer answered immediately.
