We use the "open accordions by default" javascript method. In plugins/local/public/views/layout_head.html.erb, we have:
<% if ( [ 'objects', 'resources' ].include?( controller.controller_name )) %>
<!-- expand all -->
<script type="text/javascript" >
$( function() { collapse_all( '.note_panel', true ); } );
</script>
<% end %><!-- end if controller.controller_name... -->
I would also note that I’ve found that IF local mods can be done in javascript
only, rather than customizing views, then it does make the local mods, on
average, somewhat more maintainable. Changes are localized into that one
layout_head template and checking for conflicts in new releases is a bit
simpler. ( My preference. Your mileage may vary! )
