Hi,

first of all congratulations for this great Plug-In.

I 've just installed it and I have some problems. When I load my page the content I want to be hide is open. When I am trying to close the content it does nothing. Is there any problem with mootools in my page? Can I do something to see if there is a conflict with other Plug-Ins or if I have the last version of mootools?

Thank you in advance.

More Details Plug-In parametres:

Open No
Open Once No
Hide Title No
Close on Click Yes
Open by hover No
Horizontal No
Span Title Yes

I have tried a lot of combinations but nothing.

Hi,

Be sure that Javascript is switched on in your Browser and that in the plugin params (Plugin Manager -> Show / Hide Content) the first at the top right labeled with "Plugin enabled" is set to yes.

Unfortunately all these are ok. But thank you for the quick reply. Is there something else to check out?

I actually have exactly the same problem.

Not afraid of admitting my knowledge of javascript is limited at best - perhaps here lies the issue!

Please see the top article:

Anyway, at an attempt to solve this issue I must ask:

Do I need to call the mootools library, or any other in my template index.php?

Is there any other reason why this plugin would fail to work?

Could TinyMCE 2.0 be disturbing the code by placing <p> tags over <div>'s? I've tried switching to HTML view and saving but it seems to persist in adding them.

I place the code like this in my article:

blah blah blah

{showhide1 }

blah blah

{/showhide1}

Thanks in advance for your help - I'll be very sad if I can't have your plugin integrated into my site.

Use Firefox and open "Error Console" under extras. There you can check if there are Javascript errors. If yes, post a copy of the error.

No, mootools should be loaded automatically when this plugin is used. But to be sure, add the following code to your template index.php (at the start of index.php). Please post if this solved the issue.

Go to the backend to the Plugin Manager and open the "Editor - TinyMCE 3.2.4.1"

Set the Parameter "Code Cleanup on Startup" to off and "Code cleanup" on save

Be sure you are using plg_showhidecontent_1.0.2.zip (Version 1.0.2)

Hey dude,

Thanks so much for your help so far.

my bad with the link, I tried XStandard editor and that managed to wipe the text in that article. I've made up another.

tinyurl.com/3ay3lha

I've switched of HTML cleanup for TinyMCE in the backend, and also added the call for mootools in the head section index.php and still no joy.

The only other thing I can think of is that it may have something to do with the fact that my site's running on a subdomain and not the root - joomla is installed on www.url.com/lab

I should add that all other functions seem fine.

Thanks again

EDIT: Also checked the error console which is coming up blank on load of the front page.
