Problem with collapsing sections

[Shaun Lyon]

I've recently altered my forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template in order to have the subforums list be collapsible. It works perfectly, EXCEPT it doesn't hold the settings. It seems to write information into the cookies list in my browser, but while the main sections keep their collapsed/expanded settings fine, for some reason this doesn't work.

Can anyone help? I'm baffled as to why it's not keeping the cookie information to keep this expanded or collapsed, while other expand/collapse options on level1_nopost works just fine!

Try using:

style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid]"

...for the page element you want to be collapsed. Like this:

<if condition="$show['subforums']">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" [color=red]style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid]"[/color]>
<td class="alt2">&nbsp;</td><td class="alt2Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="$forum[forumid]" style="padding-left: 6px"><span class="startedby"><b>$vbphrase[subforums]</b>:</span> $forum[subforums]</td><td class="alt2">&nbsp;</td><td class="alt1">&nbsp;</td><td class="alt2">&nbsp;</td><if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']"><td class="alt1">&nbsp;</td></if>
</tr>
</tbody>
</if>
$childforumbits
</if>
