Expand or Collapse ( +/- ) Siderbar LinkList Title –> Script, Widget

In this post i will explain how to implement “Expandible or collapsible” sidebar title.This applies only to the sidebar title with linklist that you have made. You can see this hack at right side of my blog. When you click on those titles, the widget will get expanded.

+/- Get Code for Expand/Collapse Sidebar Link

How to Implement :

1. Login to Blogger Dashboard

2. Go to Layout >> Edit HTML ( Backup your template first )

3. Without Expanding your template search for the code ]]></b:skin>

4. Copy and Paste the following CSS code right above the searched code ( or paste in CSS Section ).

.commenthidden {display:none}
.commentshown {display:inline}

5. Put the following code between <head> and </head>

6. Place the following code between any of your section ( Without expanding ). For that search for sidebar sections <b:section>

<b:widget id=’LinkListXX‘ locked=’false’ title=’+/- YOUR TITLE‘ type=’LinkList’>
<b:includable id=’main’>
<script type=’text/javascript’>
//<![CDATA[
if(typeof(rnd) == 'undefined') var rnd = '';
rnd = Math.floor(Math.random()*1000);
rnd = 'id-' + rnd;
document.write('<a href="#" onclick="tmp = document.getElementById("' + rnd + '"); tmp.style.display = (tmp.style.display == "none") ? "block" : "none"; return false;">');
//]]>
</script>
<b:if cond=’data:title’><h2><data:title/></h2></b:if>
<div class=’widget-content’>
<script type=’text/javascript’>
//<![CDATA[
document.write('<div id="' + rnd + '" style="display:none;">');
//]]>
</script>
<ul>
<b:loop values=’data:links’ var=’link’>
<li><a expr:href=’data:link.target’><data:link.name/></a></li>
</b:loop>
</ul>
<script type=’text/javascript’>
//<![CDATA[
document.write('<\/div>');
//]]>
</script>
<b:include name=’quickedit’/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

7. Replace XX with unique number ( may be 1, 2, 3, .. it should be unique ) and +/- YOUR TITLE with title of the sidebar widget.

8. Preview and save your template
