Fieldsets in D7, collapsed and collapsible not working

Posted by vertikal.dk on March 12, 2011 at 1:11pm

For some reason I cannot get the theme_fieldset function to make me a collapsible or collapsed fieldset.

This code:

$page['xyz'] = theme('fieldset', array('element' => array('#title' => 'XYZ', '#value' => $xyz, '#collapsed' => TRUE, '#collapsible' => TRUE)));

should as far as I can see from the docs give me a collapsible fieldset starting out collapsed.
http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--form.inc/function/theme_field...

It gives me a fieldset, but neither collapsed nor collapsible.

Wondering why...

I can't find any examples online, and honestly; looking in the code I can't see where the theme function actually checks for these parameters and creates the fieldset appropriately. Looking through my D7 installation, I find one reference to theme_fieldset or theme('fieldset' ...), apart from in my own code, and that's in form.inc where the function is declared.

Am I theming the fieldset the completely wrong way?

Hi,

you also have to include the collapse library for d7. You can do it like this:

drupal_add_library('system', 'drupal.collapse');

Vasi.

Vasi, Thanks for the tip! I

Vasi,

Thanks for the tip! I didn't realize that... but unfortunately that doesn't quite do it.

The behavior of the fieldset remains the same: no behavior. But I did get the small arrows that indicates collapsible sections, so something has happened.

But going into a little js debugging I notice that I get this error when the library is included:

"Error: uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression:"

when the page loads. It seems to come from jQuery. FireFox has no further information while IE tells me that it stems from jquery.js itself. I have no idea what causes this.

I'll dig into this and see where it leads me.

Thanks for your help.

use '#collapsible' and '#collapsed' parameters the theme_fieldset() function.

I was wrote a patch, it is failed in test but works fine for me.
Thread is here: http://drupal.org/node/1099132
If somebody knows what is the problem with this patch please let me know too.

Collapsible fieldsets using drupal_render

This code works for me

<?php
$renderable['fieldset'] = array(
  '#type' => 'fieldset',
  '#title' => t('Title'),
  'example content' => array (
    '#theme' => 'item_list',
    '#items' => array(
      t('Example item')
    )
  ),
  '#attributes' => array (
    'class' => array(
      'collapsible', 'collapsed'
    )
  )
);

drupal_render($renderable);
?>

If still doesn't work, you may try

<?php
drupal_add_library('system', 'drupal.collapse');
?>

<?php
drupal_add_js('misc/form.js'); // don't know if its really required to collapsible fieldsets to work
drupal_add_js('misc/collapse.js'); 
?>
