Hey @Andi1!

Thanks for biting! I’ll bite back. 🙂

Honestly, the critical feedback is just as, if not more important than all the positive feedback. As much as we’d like to put sticky notes of all the praise we receive on our walls, those won’t help us to build a better product.

In regards to this, sadly, there are only so many things that our team of Product Builders can be responsible for at a time - without compromising the quality of each new feature. We’ve released this workaround in hopes that it will allow users to add Collapsible Page Sections where they’re needed, and buy our Product Builders some time while they work on their current projects.

I won’t hurl statistics at you, as each case is totally unique and sometimes a Collapsible Page Section is a must-have in a landing page (especially FAQ sections).

I totally hear you, and that’s exactly why our Tips & Scripts exist - for both novice and experienced Unbounce users. Plus we have our @Unbounce-Experts who are never afraid to help out some less code-savvy customers.

I’ll be passing this feedback on to our Product team, which may help influence their decisions for which features they’ll be working on in the near future.

Thanks for chiming in here, Andi, keep the feedback coming! ✌️

Hey @Andi1! You caught my attention as well, so I’m going to chime in.

You are absolutely correct. In fact, some of our more recent features (lightboxes, video backgrounds) started off as scripts in the Community.

There’s two main reasons that developing Tips & Scripts are important to us:

1. It solves customer pain-points quickly and easily; and allows us to release new functionality with smaller teams and a minimal investment of time/resources.
2. It allows us to validate the idea by measuring things like adoption, usage and ease of implementation.

It’s an easy and lightweight way to launch ideas, test iterations and analyze the outcomes. We’re big fans of the Tips & Scripts series here and I’m glad to hear you are, too.

I’ve personally tested out quite a few products similar to Unbounce and I’ll agree that there is usually functionality from one that is missing in the others. We’ve also been around the longest, so I’m confident in saying that we have the most robust and powerful builder on the market.

This brings a few caveats. First, it’s a little bit more difficult for us to jump in with both feet and develop features as quickly as smaller companies can. We have a lot of teams working in sync to solve incredibly complex problems that are a bit bigger in scope than some of the smaller features that we see requests from.

In fact, we’re currently developing really, really exciting products that will blow your socks off once they’re ready - but again, they take a lot of hours, resources and TLC to build. We’ve found a happy medium in developing smaller ideas with things like Tips & Scripts and Ship-it Day… but we can always be better.

As @Jess said though, thank you so much for your feedback. Serioiusly. Feedback is crucial for us to move forward, prioritize and ultimately build better products. We’ll pass this on to our teams internally and they’ll factor it in to the decision making process for our roadmap.

Until then, please feel free to stick around the Community and test out more Tips & Scripts. Feel free to give feedback where you feel it will help, just keep it classy and respectful and we’ll continue to be super receptive and transparent. 🙂

Yes the community has been great and in combinations with some excellent tutorials I have been able to implement scripts into my landing pages. No complaints there, however like I said other companies seems to be way ahead of the game with much smaller teams and features like these that are built into the content builder. It’s not a whack at unbounce but my time is mich better spent in areas not related to micro focusing my time on scripts. Excuse my ignorance here but if they can be done with scripts they should be easily developed into the builder??

I managed to applied the script and it works. I would be interested to have multiple collapsible parts. How do I do that? I tried multiplying the code and adding it as new JS but it just messed up the page. Can you pls help?

Thanks so much for sharing this! We’ve been looking for an easy workaround like this for a while now!

I agree with Andi1 on this one - a study that shows landing pages convert better without collapsible FAQ sections is completely useless. Just because it didn’t work for someone, doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. If we just used case studies or best practices as a guide on building landing pages, then what’s the point of A/B testing?

Hey, Noah do you know if this is any further along. I also need to use multiple collapsible pages. I was going to use the tab script as a workaround but that doesn’t work on mobile

Hey Linda, thanks for reaching out! 🙂 Unbounce does not currently offer password protection for pages or page sections, so it would be a little tricky to offer you a solution that is Unbounce specific. The main issue is that in order to setup a password on our pages you would need to upload an HTAccess file to our servers which is not something that Unbounce currently supports. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news here Linda! Still, I’m happy that you enjoyed this workaround and thank you for contributing to our community! Hope you’re heading into a brilliant weekend! 💪 🎉 

Thanks @Michael_McInnes1.

I just want the same collapsible section to work on 2 or more section in same page.

Here is the code:

<script>
  //Replace with ID of your collapsible page section
  var toggleSection = $('#lp-pom-block-3241');
  //Replace with ID of box containing hidden/visible content
  var toggleContent = $("#lp-pom-box-3242");
  //Replace with ID of button that toggles section
  var toggleButton = $("#lp-pom-button-3240");

  // Height of section to show/hide
  var sectionHeight =  $(toggleSection).height();  
  //Top value of content
  var toggleContentTop = toggleContent.position().top;

  toggleSection.css("display", "none");
  toggleContent.css("display", "none");

  var otherSections = toggleSection.nextAll();
  var otherContent = toggleContent.siblings();
  console.log(otherContent);

  var shown = false;

  var moveStuff = function(){
    if(shown){
     for (var i=0;i<otherContent.length;i++){
  	var content = $(otherContent[i]);
       	var contentTop = content.position().top;	
       //Is this element below toggleContent?
       	if( contentTop > toggleContentTop ){
    	  var newTopValue = contentTop + sectionHeight;
    	  content.animate({top: "+=" + sectionHeight + "px"}, 600);
     	}
  	 }
     $("#lp-pom-root, #lp-pom-root-color-overlay").height(function (index, height) {
    	return (height - sectionHeight);
     });
     shown = false;
    }else{
      for (var i=0;i<otherContent.length;i++){
  	var content = $(otherContent[i]);
        var contentTop = content.position().top;
        //Is this element below toggleContent?
        if(contentTop > toggleContentTop ){
          var newTopValue = content.position().top - sectionHeight;
    	  content.animate({top: "-=" + sectionHeight + "px"}, 600);
        }
      }
      $("#lp-pom-root, #lp-pom-root-color-overlay").height(function (index, height) {
    	return (height - sectionHeight);
      });
      shown = true;
    }
  }

  //Run moveStuff to adjust content on load
  moveStuff();

  toggleButton.click(function() { // ID of button/trigger
   toggleSection.slideToggle('slow'); 
   toggleContent.slideToggle('slow'); 
   moveStuff();
  });

Thank you a lot, Noah.
Is there any possibility that I can use multiple collapsible pages on one page using your code?
I desperately need 3 collapsible pages!

Hi @cbp5032
I actually did with a solution for this. Maybe it could also work for you.
First I had the elements in the Footer inside bigger boxes. And that didn’t allow them to move responsively with the footer.
(For example: A box that had inside 2 Text Boxes and 1 Image)

What I did was putting them outside in individual elements. That fixed the problem in my Landing Page.

Try it as well and let me know 😉 #goodluck

I’ve been unable to get this to work. Any ideas? @Noah

I changed all the ids (box, block, button) from the git script.

Where should the js be placed (head, after body, before body end tag)? I chose head.

Thanks.
