Module: Basic collapsing module

[58sniper]

Okay, I don't think this version has been posted anywhere, so.....

This module is a "blank" collapsible module that doesn't require editing of ANYTHING other than the content inside of it. No need to modify the name, etc.


<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat smallfont" style="font-weight: bold;"><a style="float: $stylevar[right]" href="#" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_$mods[filename]')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_$mods[filename]" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_randomtopic].gif" width="15" height="15" border="0" alt="Collapse/Expand" /></a>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] $mods[title]</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot style="display: none;"><tr><td></td></tr></tfoot>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_$mods[filename]">
<tr style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_randomtopic]">
<td class="$getbgrow">
<!-- put module content here -->
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />


When you create a new module using this code, the Module Title (in ACP> vBa Settings) will automatically be used as the title when viewing the module. Also, this validates 100% as XHTML 1.0, something many of the others don't do (and my primary reason for creating this version).

Keep in mind that this uses the collapsible image from the default image set. If you're going to use an image of a different size, you'll need to adjust the width and height accordingly.

You can see this in use at a site I'm working on at demo (http://dev.defensivetactics.com/).

I'd appreciate any comments.

Edit: updated code to get rid of annoying "double" bottom border. All I did was add the code in red. Tested and validates fine.

Excellent work - this is really a much better solution than any I've seen - nice use of existing variables and just a great bit of work!

The simple things in life are often the best (tm) ;)

Note: u can't use class="tcat smallfont" - it just doesn't work that way ;) Nice thinking tho'

Since when? That works in both IE and Firefox.

doesn't remember the collapse state, mine does....

[58sniper]

But yours doesn't come close to validating.

I don't suppose someone could come up with a way that validates AND remembers the collapsed state?

[mholtum]

Sniper, thank you.. I use your code and like it..

I'm working on that, but it's presenting a few problems of its own.

I didn't mean to sound unappreciative towards either of you or your contributions to the rest of us. I think it was just confusion or frustration as to why hack author's seem opposed to collaboration as often as they do... This is of course coming from an observer who has yet to contribute anything himself...

Either way, both of your work is appreciated.

Seems like a pissing contest to me.. I use snipers code. Works for me.

It's not a problem, really. I'd love to have the collapse state remembered between visits. I am/was more concerned with optimizing/streamlining the existing code, and getting it to validate correctly.

Now I'm going to try to get the collapse state remembered, although when I try the other methods posted here, I run into some unexpected problems. I'm forging ahead - we'll get there.

Okay - a minor issue that popped up when using some skins. I updated the code in post #1. All you need to do is add the code in red. Minor fix.

Great module - thanks all!

Is there a way I can easily replace the 'Collapse/Expand' text with a small image instead please...?
