Roll-Your-Own Nested Expands

Alternat Text be I

Here is a simple example of how you can create nested expand elements using the shortcode:

[expand title="state1" id="state1"]
   [expandsub1 title="city1" id="city1"]bar1
bar2[/expandsub1]
   [expandsub1 title="city2" id="city2"]bar3
bar4[/expandsub1]
[/expand]
state1
city1
bar1
bar2
city2
bar3
bar4

Roll-Your-Own

Here is a similar example of nested expand elements using the Roll-Your-Own method:

<div class="collapseomatic" id="state2" title="state2">state2</div>
<div id="target-state2" class="collapseomatic_content " style="display: none;">
   <div class="collapseomatic" id="city3" title="city3">city3</div><div id="target-city3" class="collapseomatic_content " style="display: none;">bar5<br>
bar6</div>
   <div class="collapseomatic" id="city4" title="city4">city4</div><div id="target-city4" class="collapseomatic_content " style="display: none;">bar7<br>
bar8</div>
</div>
state2

Here is a four level deep nested test using shortcodes:

Grouping Collapse-Pro-Matic Setall Subexpands

Introducing ‘togglegroup’ a new attribute that can be used instead of rel and highlander grouping for collapseall/expandall/setall toggles.
Here is a list of expand elements with nested expansub elements:

[expand title="main 1" rel="main-highlander" togglegroup="group_1"] This is the first main section and it has multiple sub sections:
[expandsub1 title="sub a" rel="sub-highlander" togglegroup="group_1"]sub section a[/expandsub1]
[expandsub1 title="sub b" rel="sub-highlander" togglegroup="group_1"]sub section b[/expandsub1]
[expandsub1 title="sub c" rel="sub-highlander" togglegroup="group_1"]sub section b[/expandsub1]
[/expand]
[expand title="main 2" rel="main-highlander" togglegroup="group_1"] This is the second main section and it has multiple sub sections:
[expandsub1 title="sub d" rel="sub-highlander" togglegroup="group_1"]sub section d[/expandsub1]
[expandsub1 title="sub e" rel="sub-highlander" togglegroup="group_1"]sub section e[/expandsub1]
[expandsub1 title="sub f" rel="sub-highlander" togglegroup="group_1"]sub section f[/expandsub1]
[/expand]

And here is a list of the different types of expandall/collapseall and toggle triggers that may be used.

Shortcode

[expand title="Expand All" swaptitle="Collapse All" trigclass="setall"/]
[expand title="Expand Main" swaptitle="Collapse Main" trigclass="setall" rel="main-highlander"/]
[expand title="Expand Sub" swaptitle="Collapse Sub" trigclass="setall" rel="sub-highlander"/]
[expand title="Expand Group 1" swaptitle="Collapse Group 1" trigclass="setall" togglegroup="group_1" /]

Roll-Your-Own

<span class="expandall">Expand All</span>

<span class="collapseall">Collapse All</span>

<span class="collapseomatic setall noarrow" id="my_toggle_id" title="Expand All">Expand All Toggle</span>
<span id="swap-my_toggle_id" class="colomat-swap" style="display:none;">Collapse All Toggle</span>

<span class="collapseomatic setall noarrow" id="my_other_toggle_id" title="Expand Group 1" data-togglegroup="group_1">Expand Group 1 Toggle</span>
<span id="swap-my_other_toggle_id" class="colomat-swap" style="display:none;">Collapse Group 1 Toggle</span>

Alt Attribute Removed

the alt attribute is causing the html to not validate properly. Here is a test to ensure it does not show up anymore:

[expand title="Expand all" swaptitle="Swap all" trigclass="setall" rel="main" notitle="true"]this is a test[/expand]
Expand all
this is a test

With SwapAlt:

[expand title="Monkey" alt="click for donkey" swaptitle="Donkey" swapalt="click for monkey" notitle="true"]this is a test[/expand]
Monkey
this is a test

Collapse-O-Matic Lists

One of the more common support issues with Collapse-O-Matic are related to unwanted spacing between collapse elements. While there are a number of reasons why this happens, the most common issues are extra ‘p’ or ‘br’ tags being added due to the strange way the wpautop filter. Often the spacing issue can be resolved by wrapping the expand elements in a div, removing any extra spacing or hard-returns between the expand elements, adjusting css, using different expand html elements (such as the ‘li’ element), or using the Collapse Commander add-on.

Example of a simple list using Collapse-O-Matic:

[expand title="Item One"]
This is some special text to display about item one
[/expand]
[expand title="Item Two"]
This is some special text about item two to display
[/expand]
[expand title="Item Three"]
Item three also has some special text to be displayed
[/expand]
Item One
This is some special text to display about item one
Item Two
This is some special text about item two to display
Item Three
Item three also has some special text to be displayed

Example using UL and LI elements:

<ul>
[expand title="Item One" tag="li"]
This is some special text to display about item one
[/expand]
[expand title="Item Two" tag="li"]
This is some special text about item two to display
[/expand]
[expand title="Item Three" tag="li"]
Item three also has some special text to be displayed
[/expand]
</ul>
  • Item One
    • This is some special text to display about item one
  • Item Two
    • This is some special text about item two to display
  • Item Three
    • Item three also has some special text to be displayed

Example of a list using Collapse-Commander

[expand cid="1765"/]
[expand cid="1766"/]
[expand cid="1767"/]
Item One
This is some special text to display about item one
Item Two
This is some special text about item two to display with some html
Item Three
Item three also has some special text to be displayed

example of internal content list without using filter attribute:

[expand title="Standard"]
This is some text on the first line
This is some text on the second line
This is some text on the third line
[/expand]
Standard
This is some text on the first line
This is some text on the second line
This is some text on the third line

example of internal content list using filter attribute:

[expand title="Filtered" filter="true"]
This is some text on the first line
This is some text on the second line
This is some text on the third line
[/expand]
Filtered

This is some text on the first line
This is some text on the second line
This is some text on the third line
