Expand/Collapse Block
Due to limited time I wasn’t able to write new articles for codeblog. This time there’s not going to be much text, just a free block which you can use for your site.
Dialog
The following screenshot shows you the dialog you can use to enter the information related to the expand block. There’s a special feature which I haven’t seen before – you can select the template while adding a new block. No need to open a second dialog!
Updates / Contribution
If you have some nice arrows/layouts. Please contact me! I’d be happy to add them to this block which we could later publish on the Concrete5 Marketplace once it contains a few nice layouts!
Download / Installation
Extract the zip file into /blocks/ and make sure you keep the directory “remo_expand”. It’s not a package yet and therefore must be extracted to blocks and not packages!

Was just trying to put together something lie this myself, saved me a load of time.
Love being able select the template when adding the block – that should be added to all blocks in C5.

Remo,
This is an excellent addition to the concrete5 marketplace and for free too. The block works very well and as expected. Really easy to use and produces the desired results.
I am extremely pleased with the expand/collapse block
Many thanks for your time and effort
Cheers
Sean

Nicely done and certainly very usefull
Would be great (amazing?) to add this kind of feature to autonav :s

You can easily add such features to the autonav block. No need for a custom block, a simple custom template would be enough..
You need to understand php and custom template (http://www.codeblog.ch/2009/03/concrete5-templates/) and a little bit of javascript but it’s not difficult to do.

Well, in general yes.. But:
1. I’m very busy at the moment
2. What script? How is it related to the expand/collapse block?
