Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Collapsible Widget Area

Go to Plugins -> Add New -> Upload in your administration area. Click the "Browse" (or "Choose File") button and find the ZIP file you downloaded. Click the "Upload" button. Go to the Plugins dashboard and "Activate" the plugin (for MultiSite users, you can safely "Network Activate" this plugin). FTP Installation

Unzip the file somewhere on your harddrive. FTP into your Web server and navigate to the /wp-content/plugins directory. Upload the collapsible-widget-area folder and all of its contents into your plugins directory. Go to the Plugins dashboard and "Activate" the plugin (for MultiSite users, you can safely "Network Activate" this plugin). Must-Use Installation If you would like to force this plugin to be active (generally only useful for Multi Site installations) without an option to deactivate it, you can upload the contents of the collapsible-widget-area folder to your /wp-content/mu-plugins folder. If that folder does not exist, you can safely create it.

In order to render accordions and tabs, this plugin needs to set the Widget Title as the accordion/tab handle, and the Widget Content as the content of the item. If your widget doesn't have a Widget Title for some reason, the formatting can get messed up, and can actually cause the content of one widget to be set as the title/handle, while using the title of the next widget as the content of that accordion/tab.

There is limited support for the tabbed interface in WordPress 3.2.x, but the accordion interface does not work.

In order to create the handles for the accordions/tabs, the titles have to be wrapped in links to those items. Since you can't wrap a link inside of a link, this plugin strips any HTML from the widget title before rendering the collapsible interface.

Yes. This plugin is set up to work in any of the following situations: Single site installs Multisite installs where the plugin is activated on a site-by-site basis Multisite installs where the plugin is network activated Multi-network installs (some multi-network functionality of this plugin will only work if you have our multi-network function files installed)

Yes you can. Simply go to Settings -> Collapsible Widget Options and specify how many Collapsible Widget Areas you want. Then, when you go back to Appearance -> Widgets, you will see that many Collapsible Widget Areas available on the right side.

Yes, you can use the shortcode [collapsible-widget id=#] (where you replace the # with the ID of the Collapsible Widget Area you want to render). The following options are available for the shortcode: id (int) - the ID of the Collapsible Widget Area to be rendered. Defaults to 1 show_what (accordion|tabbed) - specifies which type of interface to use. Defaults to "tabbed" collapsible (bool) - if the type is set to accordion, this option specifies whether or not the entire accordion can be closed, or if one item always has to be open. Defaults to false closed (bool) - if the type is set to accordion, and the collapsible option is set to true, this option specifies whether or not to start with the accordion completely collapsed. Defaults to false cookie (bool) - if the type is set to tabbed, this option specifies whether to save which tab is active so that it will be the active tab the next time the person returns to the page. Defaults to false

Again, theoretically, yes. You should be able to use the_widget() to insert this directly into your theme, but that has not been tested, and it would probably take some effort to get it working correctly.

This plugin uses jQueryUI (either the Tabs feature or the Accordion feature) to implement the tabs/accordions. A little extra JavaScript is thrown in just to make sure the elements are in the correct places before trying to apply the tab/accordion interface.
