Custom collapsible element cookie problem

[Miko]

Edit: Thank you for the great support and for fixing my probem

[Jake Bunce]

Try this:

<div id="collapseobj_alpha_$forumid" style="{$vbcollapse['collapseobj_alpha_$forumid']}">

[Jake Bunce]

I know this works. Consult with that thread.

[Jake Bunce]

I don't see any other problems off hand. Does that code from that thread not work? It should.

[Jake Bunce]

...

now the problem is that i can't add $forumid to:
style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_my_table_$forumid[color=Black]]"
out getting a parse error for the 2 "$"

...

Try the code I posted:

<div id="collapseobj_alpha_$forumid" [color=red]style="{$vbcollapse['collapseobj_alpha_$forumid']}"[/color]>

I think that will work.

[Jake Bunce]

It appears there is a problem with indexing into $vbcollapse[] when the index contains a variable itself. I have the same problem when I apply it to my own code.

I have been unable to find a fix.

[Miko]

I'm glad that you have the same problem, because i have tested so many different conditionals and 1 of then should have worked in first place.
Do you know where i can add the conditional in the php files to fix this?
or are you going to send me to >>>vbulletin.org :P

[Jake Bunce]

Yes, for file mods you would go to www.vbulletin.org.

I am asking the others about a solution using templates.

[Jake Bunce]

It is probably too early to post it as a bug. We don't know if we are doing it right.

[Mike Sullivan]

I stand corrected from my response in the bug. You should use:

{$vbcollapse['collapseobj_alpha_' . $forumid]}

[Mike Sullivan]

Corrected again. This one works. I checked it:

{$GLOBALS['vbcollapse']['collapseobj_my_table_' . $forumid]}

$vbcollapse wasn't in the scope of the function.

[Miko]

Corrected again. This one works. I checked it:

{$GLOBALS['vbcollapse']['collapseobj_my_table_' . $forumid]}

$vbcollapse wasn't in the scope of the function.

you are the man!
thank you , finally working

[Jake Bunce]

Ah, the scope never occurred to me.

I have updated the 'how to' thread:

Curious, is it possible to make the table collapse from the left to right?

[Jake Bunce]

Yes. You would need to apply these attributes to something on the right:

[color=purple]id="collapseobj_[color=red]my_table[/color]" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_[color=red]my_table[/color]]"[/color]
