I am testing. Would you like the feedback here or elsewhere?

Things seem okay from the Sharing Setting panel. That’s good. I’ll let you know what happens next time I publish.

Thanks.

Seems I lied. The connection to LinkedIn broke again and following the directions to reconnect, including removing the cookies, does not reestablish the connection.

Cleared the wordpress.com cookies and things work. Thanks.

I’m also having trouble with the Tumblr connection. It asks for my permission to make the connection, asks me to re-login to WordPress (never logged out), and takes me back to the dashboard. I check the Publicize config and the Tumblr connection is still unconfigured.

bought it

Thanks very much. I think that’s just what I need. Time to pay you guys.

Now I just have to figure out how to get some <span class="expandall">-tagged element to follow the reader.

Thanks again again.

Have you seen any inline hide facility?

“Bad” Baden

Thank you for the suggestions. I understand your thinking and am looking into both of the plugins. They will likely be the right way to go if almost all of the content can be shared across “languages.” There’s no way I can maintain multiple versions of the same pages – and I need the readers to be able to toggle. I only need to change small pieces between “modes”. Again, almost all of the content is the same.

As you describe it, your “show and hide chunks” design really sounds like the way. I tried using it, it’s just that inline show-and-hide didn’t work out so well. Inline, small show-and-hide is the critical need.

Maybe my description of the need is poor.

Anyway, thanks again.

Happy New Year.

Thanks for your reply.

The system wouldn’t have to know anything. I want the reader to be in complete control. Toggle switches that discreetly follow the reader through the article somehow and/or keyboard shortcuts would be best. A reader could easily switch modes according to his or her immediate needs and desires whenever they want.

I put a more general post in the plugin forum, stating Collapse-O-Matic was closer than anything else I’ve come across.

Thanks again. I should have said initially: Collapse-O-Matic is a great plugin. I owe you a review.

You’ll have to edit the plugin. Change this (on the line that starts with return):

function shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
                global $id;
                if ( null === $content )
                        return;
                if ( ! isset( $this->footnotes[$id] ) )
                        $this->footnotes[$id] = array( 0 => false );
                $this->footnotes[$id][] = $content;
                $note = count( $this->footnotes[$id] ) - 1;
                return ' <a class="simple-footnote" title="' . esc_attr( wp_strip_all_tags( $content ) ) . '" id="return-note-' . $id . '-' . $note . '" href="#note-' . $id . '-' . $note . '"><sup>' . $note . '</sup></a>';
        }

to this:

function shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
                global $id;
                if ( null === $content )
                        return;
                if ( ! isset( $this->footnotes[$id] ) )
                        $this->footnotes[$id] = array( 0 => false );
                $this->footnotes[$id][] = $content;
                $note = count( $this->footnotes[$id] ) - 1;
                return '<a class="simple-footnote" title="' . esc_attr( wp_strip_all_tags( $content ) ) . '" id="return-note-' . $id . '-' . $note . '" href="#note-' . $id . '-' . $note . '"><sup>' . $note . '</sup></a>';
        }

Just remove the space before the opening of the <a> tag.

I’m similarly troubled. How do I get rid of the space?

Think I’ve found something. I converted the author information from one to two fields and the book section works. So does in-text only work properly where the author’s last name is defined? If so, that’s tough for dictionary entries and the like.

Using the format string doesn’t seem to help.
