Twitter Bootstrap3 - Make An Accordion Expand On A Different Page When A Link Is Clicked

I raised a question before about how to expand an accordion on a link click: Twitter Bootstrap 3 - Auto Expand An Accordion When A Link Clicked In Another Accordion To which I got

Solution 1:

This answer here answers your question:

Bootstrap Collapse - open the given id fragment

Put EITHER in your jQuery or JS

// === opens a collapse from a url
location.hash && $(location.hash + '.collapse').collapse('show');

OR -- not both

// === opens a collapse from a urlvar anchor = window.location.hash.replace("#", "");
$(".collapse").collapse('hide'); // REMOVE THIS it and it will work more smoothly
$("#" + anchor).collapse('show');

The latter requires a load function. $(document).ready(function() { ... });

Then link to the collapsed section with the UNIQUE id like you would normally link to an anchor:

<ahref="thepage.html#uniqueID">Link text</a>
