How to add a button in accordion header in bootstrap 3.0/bootstrap-ui?

Question

I am trying to add a button to the accordion that has a dropdown menu but it doesn't seem to be working a:

1) button is too big so it goes past the accordions header. 2) The dropdown menu ends up inside the accordion header/group and not on top of everything else.

What is the best way to fix these? I want

The following is my code for the accordion group:

<accordion-group is-open="true">
    <accordion-heading>
        <div class="btn-group" style="float:right;">
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-info">Info</button>
        </div>   
    </accordion-heading>
</accordion-group>

This post is similar, but I want the buttons to be on the right of the header instead of being right next to the text, which is why I have a float:left.

Angular UI accordion with buttons in the header part

Solution 1

Check my Plunker. There are some discussions about adding "dropdown-append-to-body" on angular.ui github issues. But till then this should do the trick:

.panel-group .panel {
      overflow: visible;
}

Also instead of float:right;, you can use pull-right class from bootstrap. Button groups also have classes for sizing such as btn-group-xs btn-group-sm. You should check the bootstrap components.

Solution 2

s.alem's has a great example above, but when I converted it to angularjs 1.3 I ran into problems.

Mainly, I noticed that non-pulldown buttons with the applied $event.stopPropagation() in the ng-click kept reloading the page when it was clicked.

After playing around a little further, I realized that since the pulldown buttons worked fine, why not treat the regular buttons like pulldown buttons where needed. The solution was adding the two attribute directives (dropdown,dropdown-toggle) from the pulldown version and place them into a regular button group respectively.

I used s.alem's example and modified it to 1.3 and ui.bootstrap 0.12 and made a bunch of samples with comments in the accordion body. I hope this helps. I still would like to use normal buttons in 1.3.x without using pulldown buttons, but for now this works...

Here is my plnkr code

<div class="pull-right btn-group btn-group-xs" dropdown>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-xs" dropdown-toggle ng-click="mdc.clickToAdd();$event.stopPropagation();">Good</button>
  <button class="btn btn-danger btn-xs" ng-click="mdc.clickToAdd();$event.stopPropagation();">bad</button>
</div>
