Bootstrap Collapse toggle show/hide in 3 column WITHOUT an accordion

Question

I've got this problem. I need to use a js show & hide function to do what the Bootstrap accordion function does but I can't use an accordion because I need the buttons to be in a 3 column group & have the collapse to go into full width. Currently when I toggle one it shows & hides that one. I need it to show the current one & hide the rest. Help!

You need to group. Is that what you want?
