Collapsing Pages

This is a very simple plugin that uses Javascript to form a collapsable set of

links in the sidebar for the pages. Every page corresponding to a given

parent page will be expanded.

It is largely based off of my Collapsing Pages and Collapsing Pages

plugins.

Options

If using the manual version, you can pass options either as an array, or using

the query style, just like for other wordpress functions such as

wp_list_pages

$defaults=array( 'title' => __('Pages', 'collapsing-pages'), 'sortOrder'=> 'ASC', 'sort'=> 'pageName', 'defaultExpand'=> '', 'expand' => 0, 'depth' =>-1, 'inExcludePage' => 'exclude', 'linkToPage' => true, 'inExcludePages' => '', 'showPosts' => false, 'animate' => 0, 'useCookies' => true, 'postTitleLength' => 0, 'showTopLevel' => true, 'currentPageOnly' => false, 'debug' => false, );

• The pages which should be included or excluded

• showPosts

• Whether or not to include posts as well as pages. Default if false

• linkToPage

• True, clicking on a parent page title will link to that page (default)

• False, clicking on a parent page will expand to show sub-pages

• sort

• How to sort the pages. Possible values:

• ‘pageName’ the title of the page (default)

• ‘pageId’ the Id of the page

• ‘pageSlug’ the url of the page

• ‘menuOrder’ custom order specified in the pages settings

• sortOrder

• Whether pages should be sorted in normal or reverse

order. Possible values:

• ‘ASC’ normal order (a-z 0-9) (default)

• ‘DESC’ reverse order (z-a 9-0)

• expand

• The symbols to be used to mark expanding and collapsing. Possible values:

• ‘0’ Triangles (default)

• ‘1’ + –

• ‘2’ [+] [-]

• ‘3’ images (you can upload your own if you wish)

• ‘4’ custom symbols

• customExpand

• If you have selected ‘4’ for the expand option, this character will be

used to mark expandable link categories

• customCollapse

• If you have selected ‘4’ for the expand option, this character will be

used to mark collapsible link categories

• postTitleLength

• Truncate post titles to this number of characters (default: 0 = don’t

truncate)

• animate

• When set to true, collapsing and expanding will be animated

• useCookies

• When true, expanding and collapsing of pages is remembered for each

visitor. When false, pages are always display collapsed (unless

explicitly set to auto-expand). Possible values:

• true (default)

• false

• showTopLevel

• True – show top level pages (default)

• False – only display sub-pages and below

• currentPageOnly

• True – show only parent and sub pages of the current page

• False – show all pages (subject to the include or exclude parameters

set) (default)

• debug

• When set to true, extra debugging information will be displayed in the

underlying code of your page (but not visible from the browser). Use

this option if you are having problems

Examples

collapsPage('animate=true&sort=ASC&expand=3,inExcludePages=about')

This will produce a list with:

* animation on

* shown in alphabetical order

* using images to mark collapsing and expanding

* exclude page about

CAVEAT

Currently this plugin relies on Javascript to expand and collapse the links.

If a user’s browser doesn’t support javascript they won’t see the links to the

posts, but the links to the pages will still work (which is the default

behavior in wordpress anyways)
