Collapsible sidpanels?

How can I make collapsible side panel menus similar to the home page for ocportal?   I tried :

but that didn't seem to work the way I wanted it to.

This was a 'feature' released in 3.2.4 or 3.2.5. You indicate whether you want the tray 'open' or 'closed' in the template for the particular box you wish to adjust.

It is probably easier to show it in code form. The following is the latest (3.2.5) template code for BLOCK_SIDE_NETWORK.tpl, one I picked because it doesn't have much else in it, but you can see how the first line configures the display:


Hope that has been of help.

Forgot to mention, you should also 'activate' the tray support feature in OcCLE by typing in:

:set_value('tray_support','1');

Good luck.

Is there something else that overrides this feature?  I am able to get some of the panels to close but others stay open reguardless of what I change the template file to.  For example BLOCK_SIDE_STORED_MENU.tpl is set as :

but it remains open.

Thanks for the help

Hi,

Not sure whether you've managed to get it to work or not - whether the OcCLE cmd set the parameters and it all works fine now. Or not?

One other thing with ocPortal that has to be remembered is that the caches need to be cleared before some of the changes become apparent - that's the good old "CTRL+ALT+SHFT+refresh" trick!

Code

{+START,BOX,{CAPTION*},13.3em,panel,tray_closed}
   {CONTENT}
{+END}

but it remains open.

The open state is remembered in a cookie - the Tempcode bit here defines the default.
