Collapsible Categories

[laundrylady]

I don't seem to be able to make this one work at this time on sexyssinners.freemessageboards.com/forum

[Jordan]

Re-download the plugin and it will work. For some reason the page ID that I use to determine if the code should execute or not is different on the custom page you linked to. In other words:

sexyssinners.freemessageboards.com/forum

Has a different ID than:

sexyssinners.freemessageboards.com/

But it's fixed now.

Thanks, appreciate your quick reply, works fine now.

Updated so there is now an animation feature, as well as the ability to set a background color and/or a background image when a new post exists within the category.

[laundrylady]

Nice Jordan, gonna play with it for a bit, but looks good so far.

[Jordan]

Thanks, let me know if you find any bugs.

[rchelitalk]

Maybe I am missing something here Jordan but what is the animated part suppose to look like or do?

Got it, got it.....little slow here sometimes Life is like a box of chocolates.....you never know what your gone a get

[Jordan]

It's all good, let me know if you have any other problems.

Updated so the category title bar background color does not change color while expanded if it contains a new post. It will only change color if it contains a new post and is collapsed.

I think having them carried from computer to computer would be a really nice feature. I know a lot of our forum users (myself included) use multiple computers for viewing the forum at various points and that sort of continuity is nice. But as said above by others not a deal breaker

Something I'd like to see is the ability to (at least) define a "default state" for various categories (i.e. some start out expanded, others collapsed, by default). Ideally, I'd like to have the ability to only have some categories collapsible, since that's how the codes on one forum I'm working on updating/testing works.

Is it possible to have the option to just add text to the category title when new posts are present?
So basically the title bar would be exactly the same but would have text or a small icon to say "New Posts"

Don't know about the text but you can add an icon if you wish.

How would I do that? Can't see any option there as it is. Tried to add one earlier as an image but it repeats and covers the entire title bar?

[Jordan]

Updated the plugin so you can now add text or an icon to a category with new posts. To add an icon, just insert something like <img src="url.png" /> into the New Post Text field in the Settings tab.

Let me know if you have an issues.
