Bootstrap accordion click on header panel expand/collapse

Question

I have this problem: My mobile application have some accordions based on the Bootstrap. The default behavior makes the collapse and expand works only on the inner link instead the full header panel. I need to change this, that way the accordion expands and collapse when the user click on any part of the header panel.

Answer 1

Well, it is a bit late to reply your answer but, it would be of help for future. If I understood your question correctly, you want a bootstrap accordion that expands and collapse on clicking the panel heading. Well here is the code:

	function toggleIcon(e) {
        $(e.target)
            .prev('.panel-heading')
            .find(".more-less")
            .toggleClass('glyphicon-plus glyphicon-minus');
    }
    $('.panel-group').on('hidden.bs.collapse', toggleIcon);
    $('.panel-group').on('shown.bs.collapse', toggleIcon);

	.panel-group .panel {
		border-radius: 0;
		box-shadow: none;
		border-color: #EEEEEE;
	}

	.panel-default > .panel-heading {
		padding: 0;
		border-radius: 0;
		color: #212121;
		background-color: #FAFAFA;
		border-color: #EEEEEE;
	}

	.panel-title {
		font-size: 14px;
	}

	.panel-title > a {
		display: block;
		padding: 15px;
		text-decoration: none;
	}

	.more-less {
		float: right;
		color: #212121;
	}

	.panel-default > .panel-heading + .panel-collapse > .panel-body {
		border-top-color: #EEEEEE;
	}

Answer 2

I came with this solution. It is not very elegant, but works.

HTML

<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading" onclick="javascript: expandAccordion( ' HospitalsAcc ' )">
    <a class="panel-title" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#TopStories" href="#HospitalsAcc">Hospitals</a>
</div>
<div id="HospitalsAcc" class="panel-collapse collapse" style="height: 0px;">
    <div class="panel-body" style="text-align: center">
        <p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px">GeometryIndex: 1 </p>
        <p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px">NAME: HOSPITAL </p>
        <p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px">ADDRNO: 00 </p>
    </div>
</div>

JS

    function expandAccordion(param) {
        param = param.trim();
        $('#'+param).collapse('toggle')
    };
