Extension talk:ToggleDisplay

Nice example
I've found a nice use for this extension. You can make a Preview link to view other wiki pages. Here is an example of the code. The code doesn't work on Mediawiki.org because the extension isn't installed here. A working copy can be found here

Another Use
A simple show hide box using this extension, parameters are easy to change to suit your needs, tried and works on version 1.12 and 1.13.5.


 * This is a very helpful example, thank you. --Robinson Weijman 14:32, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Nesting ToggleDisplay Tags
Seems to be broken. =( --J.nesta 05:33, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I found it worked like this:

hidden text 1 hidden text 2 hidden text 3 --Robinson Weijman 14:23, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

show/hide all
Is there any way to show/hide all hideable divs in a page? The reason I want this is that for browsing a large page, I want everything hidden, but ctrl-f search does not find content in invisible elements, so I'd like to be able to quickly expand and then hide everything again. It's probably not too hard to write a bookmarklet that does this, but I'd prefer a javascript link. If it's not already available, can anyone give me a hint how to go about implementing it? It can't be that much work to do it, so I'll gladly try if anyone can point me in the right direction. 146.6.200.139 19:20, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Uggly Warning
I got the following warning in the wiki, if i install ToggleDisplay:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [...]/mediawiki-1.15.1/extensions/ToggleDisplay/ToggleDisplay.php:102) in [...]/includes/WebResponse.php on line 16

After using " " the first time i see only this warning and no wikipage anymore.

Thanks for any hints how i get rid of this! --benni
 * Check your ToggleDisplay.php file and remove all blank linkes before the  tag. 160.85.37.176 16:42, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Icon instead of text
Hi-Thanks for the extension, perfect for FAQ's. I was wondering if there was a way to add an icon/image in place of the text to show/hide content? Thanks. --Demetelski 16:24, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Template variables within
On my test site, this template line:

List of Has Make:: Has Model::s from Has Year::

produces

List of Honda Acords from 2000

when run from a particular page. But this fails

 List of Has Make:: Has Model::s from Has Year::

producing

Hide Information List of s from

when expanded. Is this an understood issue, is there a mechanism to get around it, or is it a bug?

I'm using

MediaWiki 	1.15.1 PHP            5.2.10-pl0-gentoo (apache2handler) MySQL          5.0.70-log ToggleDisplay  Version 0.121

Thanks. - [mailto:trueskew@gmail.com skew]


 * I think this is due to the way the MediaWiki parser handles tags. Basically, you cannot access template variables within tags (at least in 15.1). By the way, I consider this extension obsolete because NavFrame provides very similar functionality with means of MediaWiki itself. RV1971 10:03, 9 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply. I started with NavFrame, but the way I have my data formatted it doesn't do what I need it to.  Too bad about ToggleDisplay, aesthetically it's one of the best solutions. - skew

Show hide text with variables
Hi, I'd like to use the show / hide text with a variable e.g. show=. Anyone know how? When I try it just shows literally instead of the value. --Robinson Weijman 13:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
