Forum:Collapsible sections?

I intend to make a page that will have a large amount of sections (documentation for MMO addon API), so I'd like to make a list where every section is collapsed by default, and can be expanded by users.

Any tips on how to code this? Or maybe you've seen a wiki that does it so I can check it out?


 * try this code for template:collapse top (from wikipedia originally) which creates a 1 cell collasible table with header bar (like a navbox) - code Here and Template:collapse bottom that goes after the content (just closed the one cell table). Note: it used the Navbox collasible routine that is added in to sites Mediawiki:common.JS and CSS pages. I've used it with a photo gallery and some text sections to reduce page size. The header text and background colour is customisable. (Note my doc page has a problem displaying correctly but code works in articles ok) - BulldozerD11 14:11, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Have done this with most of my tables, and as Bulldozer said, you can choose text and color. example page #1 example page #2 Code is on the page. Have either converted or am converting just about every table that's long on the wiki, so if you check out other pages, you'll find it "in action" there too.

HTH!

You could do it with collapsible tables...

I think I'll have to abandon this idea... I didn't really think about the size of such a page, which turns out to be over 1400 sections. That should translate into several megabytes worth of data, making it rather impractical /facepalm

I guess I'll just make 1400 separate pages instead (which translates into about 116 hours of work by a rough estimate...) - IcecreamKitten
