Elements · Accordion with photos

An accordion of cards with an icon before each title. The open item's photo shows on the left and changes with it; the items open in turn, with a pause button.

Full-page views: desktop, phone and dark mode

At 1440px wide.

With your site in dark mode.

In the builder

Preview on the front end. Scripts don't run inside the builder, so here you only see the layout: the items don't open on their own here (that needs the script). Save and open the page to see the full result.

Structure

This is what the Bricks Structure panel shows after you paste the template. Component instances say which component they are.

The template also pastes a dashed note above the section, with the short version of this page. It only shows inside the builder, never on the published page — see Builder notes.

How to adjust

Every step is the same move: pick the element in the Structure panel, change its Properties.

Where are those panels?

How to adjust a template shows every one of them in a screenshot of the real builder: the Structure and Properties panels, the classes on an element, a component's style families and the field where a CSS variable goes.

The classes this element carries, in the Bricks panel.

This template's own component, with its Style group open.

1. Paste the template in Bricks first — see Copy and paste.
2. Select Intro (FBK Intro) › Properties: Eyebrow, Hide eyebrow, Title, Title level, Lead, Hide lead · Style group: Eyebrow style, Highlight, Title size, Accent line · Layout group: Alignment, Layout, Background, Spacing · Motion group: Reveal in slider.
3. Select Accordion (FBK Accordion) › Properties: Open the first item, Several open at once, FAQ schema · Style group: Style, Open item accent, Open title color, Hover effect, Title color on hover, Background · Icon group: Icon, Look, Tone, Shape, Size, Hover effect, Icon position · Layout group: Numbers, Columns · Autoplay group: Time per item, Autoplay on phones.
4. Select Item · Guided walks, Item · Boat days, Item · Mountain huts (FBK Accordion item) › Properties: Title, Text, Hide text, Tag, Tag text · More group: Title level, Icon.
5. Select Image ×3 (FBK Image) › Properties: Image, Alt text · Shape group: Proportion, Shape, Decoration, Border · Size and loading group: Loading, Width, Max width, Alignment · Caption group: Caption, Hide caption.
6. Select Button ×3 (FBK Button) › Properties: Text, Link, Tone, Shadow on hover · Icon group: Icon, Icon position · Style group: Style, Size, Width, Hover effect.
7. Spacing, sizes, color and timing with no property of their own: the CSS variables below.

CSS variables

These are the only values in the template meant to be changed by hand. Copy the block, paste it, edit the numbers.

The Custom CSS field of this template's own element, with one of its variables as a real example.

/* «Accordion with photos» · class .fbk-accmedia */
.fbk-accmedia {
  /* Space between the photo and the accordion */
  --fbk-t-gap: var(--space-xl);
}

Paste the block in the element's Style → CSS field (the selector is already in it), or set the same variables on the class itself to change every copy at once. The values are your framework's variables, so they follow your site: Choosing a framework.

Requirements

• Code execution. Needs "Execute code" enabled for the role in Bricks → Settings → Custom code, or the JS block shows as plain text instead of running.

What each requirement is, and how to set it up once for the whole site: Requirements.

Finish by hand

• Hover effect (on by default, removable): fbk-btn--sweep on the button.
• Each item is an FBK Accordion item: its title and icon in its properties; its photo (FBK Image inside the block Photo) and its text in its properties and its button in the Content slot.
• On desktop each photo is placed in the left column, as tall as the accordion (.fbk-accmedia__photo, position absolute against the accordion); on phones it stays inside its item, above the text. The open photo's fade is .brx-open %root% in .fbk-accmedia__photo (Style > CSS).
• Progress: under the open item's title, a thin rail and an accent bar that fills while its time runs (Custom CSS of .fbk-accplay-line: the rail is .fbk-accordion__header::before, the bar ::after, filled by --fbk-slider-elapsed). Remove the class for no bar.
• Speed: select Accordion and set Time per item in its Autoplay group. The autoplay only runs while the accordion is on screen; it never stops on hover, holds while keyboard focus is inside and when every item is closed, and starts paused for visitors who ask for reduced motion. Keep the pause button.
• The script needs "Execute code" enabled for the role.

On phones

The template is designed desktop first, the Bricks default, and only changes at the two widths the library uses:

• 991px and below — .fbk-accordion, .fbk-intro.
• 767px and below — .fbk-accmedia, .fbk-accmedia__photo, .fbk-accmedia__stage, .fbk-section.

Those changes live in Bricks' own breakpoint fields, so you edit them where you always do: pick the breakpoint in the toolbar and the same fields follow.

Careful with the classes shared by the whole library (fbk-section, fbk-intro, the component classes): a change there shows up in every template that uses them.

If your site's breakpoints are set up mobile first, copy the mobile-first variant of the template instead — see Copy and paste.

Accessibility

In this template, keyboard focus is visible on every interactive piece; movement is cut back when the visitor's system asks for less motion; the state screen readers need is already set (aria-hidden, aria-label).

What is checked on every template, and what depends on your own palette: Accessibility.

Dark mode

With your site in dark mode this section turns dark too — the class fbk-section--auto-dark on the section does it. Remove the class to keep it light.

Its background is a modifier on the section, so you can swap it for any of the ones the template is checked with: fbk-section--soft, fbk-section--light, fbk-section--dark.
