Collapse-Pro-Matic Expand_On Attribute

[expand title="Trigger Text" expand_on="is_search"]Target Text[/expand]

Trigger Text
Target Text

This new conditional expand feature is based on a request by user thisimnot. We introduce a new attribute called expand_on that accepts a comma separated list of WordPress Conditional Tags that will auto-expand the element if true.

For example. The following element should be displayed as collapsed when viewing the front (blog) page, but when viewing the single post or the search results page it will be shown as expanded.

[expand title="Trigger Text" expand_on="is_single, is_search"]Target Text[/expand]

Adding Custom Conditional

To create a custom conditional that checks for a custom query_var, for example, is_hilite:

Step 1: Place the following in your child theme’s function.php file:

//Add query vars
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'my_query_vars' );
function my_query_vars( $qvars ) {
    $qvars[] = 'hilite';
    return $qvars;
}

//Add custom hilite conditional
function is_hilite(){
	if(get_query_var( 'hilite')){
		return true;
	}
	return false;
}

The shortcode:

[expand title="Trigger Text" expand_on="is_hilite"]Target Text[/expand]

Example:

Here, at the very bottom of this page is a little collapse element to test the internal WordPress Search.

It’s both a hook… and a kind of wrestling thing.

Collapse-O-Matic Left And Right Arrows

Normally, expand elements display the arrow on the left:
[expand title="trigger"]target[/expand]

trigger
target

However, we can move the arrow all the way to the right by assigning the the trigger the arrowright class:
[expand title="trigger" trigclass="arrowright"]target[/expand]

trigger
target

We can move the trigger closer to the text by changing the width of the trigger element using css:

CSS
.shorty {
width: 70px;
}
[expand title="trigger" trigclass="arrowright shorty"]target[/expand]

trigger
target

What if we want both left and right arrows? We first start with a roll-your-own expand element with no arrows by assigning the noarrow class to the trigger:

<div class="collapseomatic noarrow" id="my_double_arrow_01">trigger</div>
<div id="target-my_double_arrow_01" class="collapseomatic_content">target</div>
trigger
target

Then we manually upload the arrows we want to use and place them in the title:

<div class="collapseomatic noarrow" id="my_double_arrow_02"><img src="https://spacedonkey.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/arrow-down.png" width="12" height="14" /> trigger <img src="https://spacedonkey.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/arrow-down.png" width="12" height="14" /></div>
<div id="target-my_double_arrow_02" class="collapseomatic_content">target</div>
trigger
target

Finally we need to add a swap title element for the close arrows:

<div class="collapseomatic noarrow" id="my_double_arrow_03"><img src="https://spacedonkey.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/arrow-down.png" width="12" height="14" /> trigger <img src="https://spacedonkey.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/arrow-down.png" width="12" height="14" /></div>
<div id="swap-my_double_arrow_03" alt="" class="colomat-swap" style="display:none;"><img src="https://spacedonkey.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/arrow-up.png" width="12" height="14" /> target <img src="https://spacedonkey.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/arrow-up.png" width="12" height="14" /></div>
<div id="target-my_double_arrow_03" class="collapseomatic_content">target</div>
trigger
target

Escaping Shortcode Examples

Shortcodes

Normally when a shortcode is used, it would trigger the WordPress magic that makes a shortcode a short code:

trigger
content

Now, if we wanted to show what shortcode was used to make that magic happen, we simply need to escape it like so:
[[expand title=”trigger”]content[/expand]]
and that renders:
[expand title="trigger"]content[/expand]

we can even wrap it in a nice code tag to set it apart:
[expand title="trigger"]content[/expand]

so far so good.

HTML

Now lets say we want to escape a bit of HTML! Well, lets first try simply wrapping it in the code tag:

  • item 1
  • item 2
  • item 3

Hmm… no good. All that seems to have done is render the HTML in the special css of a code tag.

What about using Markdown! Let’s wrap the HTML in backticks and see what happens…

<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul>

Perfect! It even added that monospace font that makes code look even more code-like.

Now for the test…

Shortcode and HTML

Since we are using HTML we need to use Markup… what happens when we add in the shortcode?

<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2

trigger
content
</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul>

The HTML looks rockin’ but the shortcode… well that was just processed as normal. Hmm… lets try doing the double bracket thing:

<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2 [expand title="trigger"]content[/expand]</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul>

Wow! that totally worked. So there you have it: Problem solved!
