Easy way to create collapsible regions within descriptions and text for Moodle.


Usage

To start or end a collapsible region use the keyword '{collapsible}'. If the starting tag is followed by squared brackets the text within these brackets is shown instead of a general "Click-to-expand"-message.


Example

For instance


{collapsible}[read more...]

Your text/HTML here.

{collapsible}


will result in following structure:

    Hi Jan. Thanks for another useful plugin you share with the Moodle community. I was able to test the functionality and it works really well. What I like is the simple and clean implementation based on the API provided by the Moodle core, without attempting to reinvent the wheel. Well done! I am happy to go and approve this now.
    You are cleared to land, welcome to the Plugins directory!

    I like the collapsible filter very much, but Is it maybe possible to change the code in such away (using id?) that you can create a collapsible inside a collapsible inside a collapsible?

    (I use now very old javascript for that purpose..)

    I will see. Didn't thought about that scenario. If it fits to your js I cannot control. I use Moodle functions for generating the js. So I do just the php programming. But the nesting idea sounds pretty cool ^^

    Hi Ger, can you please give me an example for what purpose you intend to use nesting collapsible areas. It would be a huge change in code necessary and also the whole handling as well, since I will be forced to introduce start and end tags.

    Because of that I hesitate to do these changes.

    I have installed this plugin, but it is disabled. I can't figure out how to enable it.

    Cool and lightweight filter: a must-have.

    Rob Cole, I don't know if you've figured this one out yet, but to enable this plugin. Go to Site administration > Plugins > Filters. You should see the list of filter plugins. If Collapsible regions is disabled, you can toggle to <> or <>

    Hi Jan,

    thanks for programming the filter smile

    Unfortunately it seems not to work under Moodle 3.1.2. The collapsible regions do appear, but I can´t change the title from "Zum Erweitern oder Zusammenfassen klicken" to something else.

    If I write:
    "{collapsible}[Neuer Titel] blablablablablablablablablablabla {collapsible}"

    I will get:
    "Zum Erweitern oder Zusammenfassen klicken" > |Title
    [Neuer Titel] blablablablablablablablablablabla |Text

    Am I doing something wrong or does it simply not work with my moodle version ?

    In Moodle 3.0 it also has some issues or am I doing something wrong?
    {collapsible}[anzeigen]

    Wenn Ladung sich bewegt also "auf kollektiver Reise" ist, dann sprechen wir von elektrischem Strom. Eine Strömung von Elektronen also.
    {collapsible}

    results in the button "anzeigen" and only showing the word "Wenn"

    If I copy the example code you provided the html text which should be revealed does not show.

    May be the plugin need changes for v3 and above
    Would be great to have this plugin available.

    That was a bug for which Zhengliang Wu and Rex Lorenzo submitted a bugfix via Github. I updated the Git repository recently but didn't do it for the downloads.

    New version 1.02 should fix this issue.

    Any upgrade to Moodle 3.2?

    I had no possibility to test the plugin on 3.0+ systems. Therefore I can't assure, if it's going to work. You may try version 1.02 on your Moodle and report issues (I recommend Github for reporting them) I can work on it.
