Location of Expand Text

  • Hi, I love Collapse-O-Matic! Thanks for the great plugin. I want to purchase it but first need to resolve a small issue with the expand text location:

    I would like to hide the default arrow and then add the “expand” text at the end of the first paragraph as in a regular “Read More” scenario. So when the user gets to the end of the first paragraph “That’s where we come in … Read More >>”

    Currently the expand text is on its own line and also it indents the expanding paragraph as a result of the arrow.

    You can see it at: https://socialmojo.co.za/wp/home/

    Any suggestions?

    I have a screenshot of the current state and then have also mocked up how I would like it to work. Is it possible to upload the mockup screenshot?

    Thanks
    Gary

    Garry,

    Your additional comments from another thread posted here to keep things together:

    I have 2 paragraphs and would like like the trigger text to be at the end of the first paragraph (same line) and on click it should expand the second paragraph below it. Does that make sense?

    I have used the following post from SpaceDonkey to hide the arrow and to get the paragraphs aligned correctly: https://spacedonkey.de/page/3/

    I have mocked up a screenshot of the current state and the desired state if I can send it to you.

    Can you please provide a link showing the current status, and a brief description of what you still need help with?

    Hi Baden, I hope you are well.

    You mentioned in your previous communication that the issue would be resolved in this thread? I have not seen anything since? Any ideas on how to resolve the issue above. I would think that it is quite a common usage scenario. That is to be able to locate the trigger text at the end of a line of text and then for it to expand a paragraph below it. As in a standard “Read More” situation?

    I can send you a screenshot of what I am trying to achieve? Maybe if you see it, you will have an easy solution for it?

    Thanks
    Gary

    Gary,

    Thanks for getting back to us. We have been waiting on your reply. What exactly is not working, or what exactly do you want to accomplish? We see that you have read more links after each column of text but what do you want to happen when you click on the read-more collapse-o-matic element?

    You have said:

    I have 2 paragraphs and would like like the trigger text to be at the end of the first paragraph (same line) and on click it should expand the second paragraph below it.

    You have also said you have checked out the link on our test server, but the link you posted was to a page of examples.

    Please read carefully the following demo: https://spacedonkey.de/737/collapse-o-matic-target-tag-target-position-test/ Pay close attention to the section: Inline Trigger Text

    Here it is again, customized for your exact example:

    This is your first paragraph [expand title="Read More" tag="span" targtag="span" targpos="inline" trigclass="my_trigger span_fix noarrow" targclass="span_fix"] this is your second paragraph.[/expand]

    Keep in mind you will have to add the css elements:

    .my_trigger {
text-decoration: underline;
font-weight: bold;
}
.span_fix {
padding: 0 !important;
margin: 0 !important;
}
.span_fix:before, .span_fix:after {
content: none;
}
