In this article, I have explained how to create a jQuery accordion using the content search web part (CSWP) to display dynamic data in SharePoint server 2013. In the first step, let’s create the Authoring and Publishing Site Collections. Authoring Site collection allows authors to manage their website content while the Publishing Site collection reviews the content from the authoring site collection.
Open the Authoring Site Collection. Create a list named “Accordion” that contains title and Description
Let’s go and create a control and a template to display the items.
– Control Template
It provides the overall structure (layout) of the HTML elements along with start and end tags.
– Item Template
It renders the items from the list, and contains text and pictures.
Now, let’s create two display templates for displaying a bootstrap carousel menu control and a menu item.
Code – Accordion Control Template
Upload the script and CSS into style library.
Add the scripts and CSS into Control template.
<script>
$includeScript(this.url, “~sitecollection/Style%20Library/Accordion/jquery-ui.css”);
$includeCSS(this.url, “~sitecollection/Style%20Library/Accordion/jquery-1.12.4.js”);
$includeScript(this.url, “~sitecollection/Style%20Library/Accordion/jquery-ui.js”);
</script>
Now, let’s define the HTML layout to the Control Template
<div id=”accordion”>
_#= ctx.RenderItems(ctx) =#_
</div>
The full code looks like the following.
<html xmlns:mso=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” xmlns:msdt=”uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882″>
<head>
<title>Accordion Control</title>

<body>
<script>
$includeScript(this.url, “~sitecollection/Style%20Library/Accordion/jquery-ui.css”);
$includeCSS(this.url, “~sitecollection/Style%20Library/Accordion/jquery-1.12.4.js”);
$includeScript(this.url, “~sitecollection/Style%20Library/Accordion/jquery-ui.js”);
</script>
<div>
<!–#_if (!$isNull(ctx.ClientControl) && !$isNull(ctx.ClientControl.shouldRenderControl) && !ctx.ClientControl.shouldRenderControl()){return “”;}
ctx.ListDataJSONGroupsKey = “ResultTables”;
ctx[“CurrentItems”] = ctx.ListData.ResultTables[0].ResultRows;
var siteURL = SP.PageContextInfo.get_siteAbsoluteUrl();
AddPostRenderCallback(ctx, function() {
$.getScript(siteURL + “”);
$( function() {
var icons = {
header: “ui-icon-circle-arrow-e”,
activeHeader: “ui-icon-circle-arrow-s”
};
$( “#accordion” ).accordion({
icons: icons
});
$( “#toggle” ).button().on( “click”, function() {
if ( $( “#accordion” ).accordion( “option”, “icons” ) ) {
$( “#accordion” ).accordion( “option”, “icons”, null );
} else {
$( “#accordion” ).accordion( “option”, “icons”, icons );
}
});
});
});
_#–>
<div id=”accordion”>
_#= ctx.RenderItems(ctx) =#_
</div>
<button id=”toggle”>Toggle icons</button>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Let’s go to Item template and declare the managed properties and necessary variables.
<!–#_
var siteURL = SP.PageContextInfo.get_siteServerRelativeUrl();
var itemIdx = ctx.CurrentItemIdx+1;
var title = $getItemValue(ctx, “Title”);
var desc = $getItemValue(ctx, “Description”);
var esActive =””;
_#–>
Render the HTML structure with the list item information.
<!— HTML Goes Here –>
<h3>_#= title =#_</h3>
<div>
<p>_#= desc =#_</p>
</div>
Overall Item template code looks like the following.
<html xmlns:mso=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” xmlns:msdt=”uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882″>

<div>
<!–#_
var siteURL = SP.PageContextInfo.get_siteServerRelativeUrl();

_#–>

Upload the display template under Site Settings – > Master page and page layouts -> Display Templates -> Content Web Parts.
Now going to insert some data into Accordion list from authoring site collection
Run the search service application Crawl now
Now, let’s go to SharePoint page.
Add a Content Search Web Part into this page.
Map a search query to get the result from the authoring site collection.
Click Edit Web Part -> change query.
Provide number of items to display.
Choose the display templates.
Click OK. Under property mapping section, map the managed properties of the title, description.
Click OK to complete the setup.
The following is the final result.
Click on the second topic
Note:
The result has been displayed using Search Service. You need to run the Search Service application. After adding the content into the SharePoint list, the result will be successfully displayed into the page.
