This SharePoint tutorial explains, how to create a jQuery accordion using the content search web part (CSWP) to display dynamic data in the 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.
jquery accordion SharePoint content search webpart
Open the Authoring Site Collection. Create a list named “Accordion” that contains the 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 the style library.
Add the scripts and CSS into the 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″>

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 the 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″>
