Improving FAQs

In Chapter 7, Advanced Content, you created a page view that represented the list of FAQs as simple clickable questions like this:

Improving FAQs

Now, we are now going to extend Drupal so that we can represent the FAQs page using the commonly used accordions pattern as shown here:

Improving FAQs

We are first going to download and install a contributed module called views_accordion, and then we'll edit the exiting FAQs view to use the new Views Display plugin that the module provides.

Downloading the Views Accordion module

Modules can be downloaded from the Drupal website (http://www.drupal.org). The Views Accordion project page can be found at:

Installing the module through the UI

We covered the idea of evaluating modules on drupal.org back in Chapter 3, Basic Concepts, and at the time of writing the Views Accordion module for Drupal did not have a stable release (currently 8.x-1.0-alpha1). However, we know it works well enough for our purposes here.
