what you are asking is not easy

first, you will need to do a check for the cookie (this is the easy part)

// Clean Cookie Vars 
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('c', array( 
    COOKIE_PREFIX . 'my_table'   => TYPE_UINT, 
)); 

check based on cookie

if ($vbulletin->GPC[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'my_table'])
{
 // table is collapsed
 do this;
}
else
{
 do this;
}

however, if table is collapsed (closed) how would the script know when it is expanded (users clicks on it) - the script will need to know this in order to display your gadgets; otherwise, it will just open an empty table

you can solve this in 2 ways (you will have to hire someone to do this for you)
1) ajax
2) skip the collapse/expand javascript and show gadgets based on a value saved for the end-user - this can be a cookie or a setting saved in the database ... either way the page will have to refresh each time the collapse/expand button is clicked
