The Mosets Tree directory component for Joomla! combined with Payments Plus for selling directory listings is a powerful e-commerce model. One drawback with Payments Plus is in the visual implementation of its features. In this article I'll discuss how to put the listing subscription options into a JQuery toggle slide so that they are hidden from the user by default.
