I'm just curious whether this will be possible using the current data types (or custom data types) where by you can content manage an accordion widget? For example, I want to be able to add a property to my document type which will contain the widget. Is this possible or will it need to be hard coded into my project?
The content managed part will be the title of the drop down feature and also the text within the drop down section.
This is certainly possible - it's finding the best way that's the challenge ;)
If you're using Umbraco 7 then I'd suggest using Archetype, which will let you configure a datatype consisting of a text input and a textarea/RTE input (or any other combination of data types). Archetype is basically a wrapper for creating repeatable collections of data-types, so is perfect for creating an accordion.
If you're using Umbraco 6, then personally I'd use child-nodes to build your accordion.
I hope this helps. Do ask if you have any specific questions when you've evaluated your approach. :)
