Adding multiple collapsible content blocks

Do you mean nested links? Like

Parent
  > Child #1
    > Child of Child #1
  > Child #2
    > Child of Child #2
    > Child of Child #2
    > Child of Child #2
  > Child #3

If so , this is not possible at the moment. Well , in a way it is, it would just take some adjustment of the HTML code that gets placed onto the page. Without having it in front of me it’s hard to specify how the code should be structured to achieve this.

If you are just trying to add multiple links, you should be able to no problem. The plugin works by expanding the hidden content directly below the link. Having multiple links on one page shouldn’t affect how that functions. Clicking one link should just expand the content below it, and no others.

Hi,

I managed to make nested expandable items.
The required HTML code can be seen here : https://matthieu.sarter.fr/nested-sample

It required a little change in the JavaScript code from expand-collapse-funk.php :
jQuery(this).toggleClass(“ecf_opened”).parent(“.exp-col-content-holder”).find(“.hidden-content”).first().stop().slideToggle(“slow”).css(“display”,”block”);
instead of
jQuery(this).toggleClass(“ecf_opened”).parent(“.exp-col-content-holder”).find(“.hidden-content”).stop().slideToggle(“slow”).css(“display”,”block”);

Without this change, when clicking on “Parent”, everything is expanded, instead of just expanding the first level.

Thanks for sharing the necessary code SartMatt. I’m sure that will help future users of the plugin.

I will look into implementing these changes into future iterations of the plugin.

You’re welcome.

FYI, I’m also working on some other improvements (shortcode, enhanced compatibility with disabled JavaScript…).
If you are interested, I can also share them when completed.

That would be great. If you’d like I can merge your code into the core plugin and add you as an author to the plugin for some credit.

Unfortunately I haven’t had the time recently to get back around to updating this plugin , due to work and other side projects. So that would definitely help others out.

That’s fine with me. I will send you an e-mail with the first set of changes.

Hello SartMatt,

Can you give me the whole code for nested links?
Thank you!

Agnes

Hi Agnes,

I’ve updated the sample page on my blog to include the source code for the nested links : https://matthieu.sarter.fr/nested-sample/

Evan has integrated the required JavaScript change to the plug-in (version 2.2), so you don’t need to modify it.

Thanks for a great plugin that worked the first time.
I easily nested

tags with multiple
• under each of several parents so I had links to monthly newsletters under the parent year and multiple years. The one enhancement I would like to see is a way to have the previously expanded hidden text collapse if another parent content link (e.g. another year) is clicked. Sort of accordion style. Any thoughts?
