  After configuring at least two plugins, it should be displayed in the sidebar you selected.

For example Alex King’s Popularity Contest plugin, in the function tab you need put this command “akpc_most_popular();” that in the normal php function you remove that is all. if you are using brians latest comments you in the function coloumn you need put get_recent_comments(); here again please note, you should not use .similarly for recent post you use c2c_get_recent_posts(10); that is all. If you are using php functions with <php and ?> this you will get parse error.

Accordion the new wordpress ajax widget to enhance your sidebar functions

We are happy to release Accordion the wordpress ajax widget that provides tabbed sidebar browsing for upto 6 plugins. You can see the demo here in our blog towards the right side bar, we have configured the plugin with 3 plugins, Popular post, Recent comments and recent posts. 

The biggest advantage of this plugin is that, it loads your wordpress site faster than before, it saves huge space, provides tabbed browsing inside your sidebar.

A widget which displays the output of other plugins, using the Accordion  the jQuery plugin.

You can download the widget from here, and configuration and the installation instruction are packed in the zip file. This wordpress widget is very easy to configure. 

 

This widget can take the output of up to six plugins. The plugins need to generate <li> items.

To install, upload the 'accordion' directory to the wp-content/plugins directory of your wordpress setup, then go to the wordpress admin panel, under 'Plugins' and activate the 'Accordion' plugin. To configure it further, go to Presentation -> widgets and drag the 'Accordion' widget onto one of your sidebars. Then click the little button on the widget to configure which plugins you'll use.

You'll notice a few controls:

Title - the title of the widget itself (optional).

Widget type - you may choose between using accordion or simple javascript tabs.

Before title and After title - These allow you to style the widget better by using style="" attributes. By default these tags are simply <h3> and </h3>. But you may use, for example: <h3 style="margin: 0; padding: 4px; background-color: blue; color: white"> for Before title.

List type - the type of list you want to be displayed: unordered (with dots) or ordered (with numbers). This is only in case your current theme requires it…

Plugin 1…6 - Click on these tabs to configure each plugin individually: each plugin has a function it calls and a title (which is displayed on its tab).

after configuring at least two plugins, it should be displayed in the sidebar you selected.
