Collapse-Commander Sub Elements

Simple example of using Collapse-Commander with sub-elements: 

[expand cid="3279" /]
Master Blaster
sub item two
this is the second item
sub item one
this is the first item


Since 1.3.3 we can use order and orderby attributes

[expand cid="3279" orderby="title" order="ASC" /]
Master Blaster
sub item one
this is the first item
sub item two
this is the second item

Collapse-O/Pro-Matic Roll-Your-Own Method Slider Effect and Duration

Roll-Your-Own Method

We have already demonstrated how the new animation_effect and duration attributes work with a shortcode. Now we will show the same example but using the roll-your-own method. As always, the default effect is slideFade and duration is fast, but these can be overwritten globally in the plugin settings. As of version 1.7.3 these attributes can be applied on a collapse element basis using two new data-atributes: data-effect and data-duration.

<div class="collapseomatic" id="monkey" title="Monkeys">Monkeys</div>
<div id="target-monkey" class="collapseomatic_content">....</div>

<div class="collapseomatic" id="donkey" data-duration="slow" title="Donkeys">Donkeys</div>
<div id="target-donkey" class="collapseomatic_content">....</div>

<div class="collapseomatic" id="ninja" data-duration="1" data-animation_effect="slideToggle" title="Ninjas">Ninjas</div>
<div id="target-ninja" class="collapseomatic_content">....</div>
Monkeys
A monkey is a primate of the Haplorrhini suborder and simian infraorder, either an Old World monkey or a New World monkey, but excluding apes and humans. There are about 260 known living species of monkey. Many are arboreal, although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons. Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent. Unlike apes, monkeys usually have tails. Tailless monkeys may be called “apes”, incorrectly according to modern usage; thus the tailless Barbary macaque is called the “Barbary ape”.
Donkeys
The donkey or ass, Equus africanus asinus,[1][2] is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family. The wild ancestor of the donkey is the African wild ass, E. africanus. The donkey has been used as a working animal for at least 5000 years. There are more than 40 million donkeys in the world, mostly in underdeveloped countries, where they are used principally as draught or pack animals. Working donkeys are often associated with those living at or below subsistence levels. Small numbers of donkeys are kept for breeding or as pets in developed countries.
Ninjas
A ninja (忍者?) or shinobi (忍び?) was a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan who specialized in unorthodox warfare. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination, and open combat in certain situations.[1] Their covert methods of waging war contrasted the ninja with the samurai, who observed strict rules about honor and combat.[2] The shinobi proper, a specially trained group of spies and mercenaries, appeared in the Sengoku or “warring states” period, in the 15th century,[3] but antecedents may have existed in the 14th century,[4] and possibly even in the 12th century (Heian or early Kamakura era).

Collapse-O/Pro-Matic Highlander Must Be One

As of Collapse-O-Matic version 1.7.2 and Collapse-Pro-Matic version 1.3.2 we have added the ability to force one element to stay open in a highlander grouping. Simply add the class must-be-one to all the triggers in a highlander group using the trigclass attribute like so:

Shortcode

[expand title="Monkeys" rel="animal-highlander" trigclass="must-be-one"]...[/expand]
[expand title="Donkeys" rel="animal-highlander" trigclass="must-be-one"]...[/expand]
[expand title="Ninjas" rel="animal-highlander" trigclass="must-be-one"]...[/expand]

Collapse-Pro-Matic Roll Your with Scroll To Elements

The roll-your-own method has already been documented, however, what if you wanted to create your own sroll-to targets for each element? How can we do this with roll-your-own?

First we create an example using the shortcode:

[expand title="trigger text" findme="auto"]hidden content[/expand]

trigger text
hidden content

Now we re-create that using the roll-your own elements:

The Trigger

<div class="collapseomatic find-me" id="my_example" title="trigger text" data-offset="-60" data-findme="auto">trigger text</div>
trigger text

The Target

<div id="target-my_example" class="collapseomatic_content ">Target Content</div>
Target Content

Collapse Commander Test

This is a collapse commander element with no added metadata. Only Title and Content:

Trigger Text and Target Content Only
Hidden Target Content

This is an example with NO trigger text assigned:

Dirty Secret Hidden Trigger
this is the content of my special trigger, sadly there is no trigger text for you to read.

This is an example with sub items…

Master Blaster
sub item two
this is the second item
sub item one
this is the first item

Collapse-O-Matic – The Roll Your Own Method

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

Roll-Your-Own Method w/ Images

<img src="https://spacedonkey.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2001_Space_Odysey-300x145.gif" class="collapseomatic noarrow" id="some_id" title="Hover over Trigger Text">
<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”

Demo:

Target Content

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
