Is there a way to add tabs to your (or any) demos? I downloaded a different accordion demo and tried to modify it by adding more tabs, but it didn't work. I was able to add the tab to the base layer and even added the trigger, but when I previewed it, it defaulted back to the original number of tabs and only they were available for interaction. I hope this makes sense and if so, you can help! Thank you!
Hi, Enya, we're happy to help with that! Would you be willing to send us a copy of your project file for testing? You can upload it to us privately here: https://articulate.com/cs
We'll let you know what we find and then delete your project file when we're done.
Thanks for sharing.
I want to restrict the navigation in accordion template. My template has 2 tabs which are closed when slide loads. It means i want to disable the player next button until all the accordion layers are visited. Can anyone please help me with triggers? Thanks
Hi, Radha! One way to disable the next button until the accordion is complete is to use true/false variables to track if learners have visited each layer. Here's a sample project file where I used this technique:
https://articulate-heroes-authoring.s3.amazonaws.com/dfair/accordions/Disable-Next-Button-Until-Accordion-Completed.story
And here are the details:
1) Create two true/false variables (one for each tab in your accordion), and set the default values to False.
2) Create a trigger on the base layer that changes the state of the Next button to Disabled when the timeline of the slide starts.
3) Create another trigger on the base layer that changes the state of the Next button to Normal when the first variable changes on the condition that both variables are True.
