Glamour accordion presentation

Hi,

I'm playing around with Glamour and accordion presentation, however there are couple things I'm struggling with.

I have a simple presentation:

```

| browser data|

data := {

'First' -> #(1 2 3).

'Second' -> #(a b c).

'Third' -> #(A B C).

'Fourth' -> #(! @ #'#').

browser := GLMTabulator new.

browser column: #accordion.

browser transmit to: #accordion; andShow: [ :a |

a accordionArrangement.

a title: 'Accordion'.

data do: [ :pair |

a fastList

title: pair key;

display: pair value

a list.

browser openOn: #().

```

* Is it possible to tell the accordion to not take more space than is needed? E.g. after item 3, and after item $c there's lot of empty space.

* Is it possible to close accordions upwards? I have added an empty list at the end to consume extra white space, but it is insufficient (see point above) and ugly.

* Is it possible to control which accordions are opened/closed by default?

* Is it possible to connect all the lists so only one item can be selected at any time? Currently I can select independently in the lists.

* Is it possible to build the lists from the input data (=openOn: XXX)? I can fill the data, but if I am making multiple lists then I am lost.

(I could use tree to fix most of the problems, but Accordion looks much nicer :))

Any pointers appreciated,

Peter

Hi,

Unfortunately the accordion widget is a bit underdeveloped. A few more comments below.

I don't think any of the above things are supported by the current accordion implementation. The current implementation is in GLMMorphicAccordionRenderer>>render:. It's quite small and it could use some improvements.

You should be able. The #andShow: block can take as a second parameter the value passed on the entity port (so the value passed to openOn: in your case)

Cheers,

Andrei
