    I'm currently using the accordion module from mandeeps to contain some custom AS views on every page. While it works well and look nice because it uses a different JQuery library (not core) it prevents the PM pop up and type ahead functionality within Active Social from working at all.

    I like the accordion functionality - but I'm getting enough complaints from users about PMs not working that I need a replacement. I've been looking at Gumbosoft's Accordion (which uses AJAX instead of JQuery.

    But - before I buy another module that ends up getting dusty on the shelf - has anyone here used this module with AS before?

    which uses AJAX instead of JQuery


    I don't understand this comment. The term AJAX simply means using java as part of the solution (asynchronous JavaScript and XML). JQuery is just the name of a specific javascript library that other people can base their javascripts off of.

    So when someone says they use AJAX it does not necessarily mean they do not use JQuery. They may not use it, but the term AJAX does incorporate the use of any Java script regardless of what the library is called.

    Are you 100% sure they are not using JQuery?

    Silver - I understand the difference. Are you successfully using this module alongside AS? That is what I'm looking for.

    No, sorry I don't have that module, I only have Mandeeps.

    Have you contacted Mandeep to see if he has a solution? I own his enterprise license for quite a few modules including the Accordion. So I would like to use it also. I can submit a request to him as well. If he knows that multiple people want to use and promote his modules with AS it might motivate him to investigate a solution.

    I do have the AJAX Tabs from Gumbosoft. Would it be worth testing it out? I assume it uses the same library as the Gumbosoft Accordion. But you know what they say about assumptions.

    Cliff - I've emailed him about it. Frankly - module compatibility is not something I want to spend a ton of time on given the relatively low cost of these accordion modules. I also use the AJAX Rotator for Gumbosoft and it plays nicely with AS....so I'm hoping their other module works as well. It looks like the Tab module shares some commonalities with the accordion module....if you think of it and have time to test let me know.
