Using the expand shortcode we can create a simple collapse-o-matic accordion element like so:
[expand title="Trigger Text"]Target Content[/expand]
Trigger Text
Target Content
Now, if we wanted to do the same thing but using the roll-your-own method we would have to create the elements manually:
<div class="collapseomatic " id="my_id" title="Trigger Text">Trigger Text</div>
<div id="target-my_id" class="collapseomatic_content ">Target Content</div>
Trigger Text
Target Content
Now, we have the freedom to put the target element whatever we want: before, in or after the Trigger element. For example, here a link has been placed between the target and trigger:
<div class="collapseomatic" id="my_new_id" title="Trigger Text">Trigger Text</div>
<a href="http://plugins.twinpictures.de/premium-plugins/collapse-pro-matic/">Special Link</a>
<div id="target-my_new_id" class="collapseomatic_content ">Target Content</div>
Trigger Text
Special Link
Target Content
Now if we apply a bit of CSS magic, we can have the trigger and link display inline:
Magic CSS
Place the following css in the collapse-o-matic (or collapse-pro-matic) plugin options page, under Custom Style:
.magic_beans {
display: inline;
float: left;
margin-right: 1.2em;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
}
Roll-Your-Own Method w/ Magic CSS
<div class="collapseomatic magic_beans" id="my_unique_id" title="Trigger Text">Trigger Text</div><a href="http://plugins.twinpictures.de/premium-plugins/collapse-pro-matic/" class="magic_beans">Collapse-Pro-Matic</a>
<div id="target-my_unique_id" class="collapseomatic_content clear">Target Content</div>
The Final Result
Trigger Text
Collapse-Pro-Matic
Target Content

<div class="collapseomatic_content" id="target-some_id" >Target Content</div>
Required components:
- Trigger:
- class=”collapseomatic noarrow”
- id=”some_id”
- Target:
- class=”collapseomatic_content”
- id=”target-some_id”

Highlander Grouping
Highlander grouping is accomplished by adding data-group=”group_name-highlander” like so:
<div class="collapseomatic" id="monkey" data-group="animal-highlander" title="Monkeys">Monkeys</div>
<div id="target-monkey" class="collapseomatic_content">The monkey says Eek! Eek!</div>
<div class="collapseomatic" id="donkey" data-group="animal-highlander" title="Donkeys">Donkeys</div>
<div id="target-donkey" class="collapseomatic_content">The Donkey says Hee Haw</div>
Demo
Monkeys
The monkey says Eek! Eek!
Donkeys
The Donkey says Hee Haw
