Expands Menu

Once the plugin is activated, an ‘Expands’ menu item will be added to the WordPress Dashboard Menu. The following submenu items are available:

• Expands – Overview of all expand elements managed by Collapse Commander
• Add New – Add a new managed expand element
• Categories – View and define new categories to organize expand elements
• Expand Templates – view and define new templates to preset defaults for expand elements

Title

The title area serves two functions. First, this can be a useful title to easily identify the expand element. Second, the title will be used as the trigger text unless the Trigger Text field has been assigned a value.

Content

The content area is used to hold the hidden content to be expanded. This area works just like the WordPress ‘classic’ editor that it is based on.

Shortcodes

The three shortcodes are displayed in this section so they can be easily copied for use. See the Collapse Commander Shortcodes documentation for a full description on these shortcodes.

Trigger Type

The type of trigger to be used:

• Text
• Image
• Hidden

Trigger Text

The displayed text that is used to trigger the expand element. This field will be available if Text is selected as the Trigger Type If no value for this field is provided, the Title text will be used as the trigger text.

Trigger Image

The image to use as trigger for this element. This field will only be displayed if Image is selected as the Trigger Type. This value will override both the Trigger Text and Title values.

ID

Value to be set as the ID attribute of the expand element. The ID must be set to a unique value within the HTML document.

Swapalt

Value of the alt attribute for the swap trigger

External Trigger

A comma separated list of ids to be used as an external trigger for this element. External Trigger is a feature of Collapse-Pro-Matic.
