Size of easyvars input box

[enrico]

Firstly, thank you so much for a wonderful component. It is a real timesaver, and will help my clients a lot! 

Now, my question - the 'easyvars' input box is quite small in the popup window. I'd like to make it a lot bigger. I've looked through the CSS and PHP files, but haven't managed to find where to do this - can anyone tell me how to do this...?

TIA

Hello Enrico,
Welcome to the forum.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. Highly apreciated

Your question:
Yes this can be done. The code which draws the input field is in
 /administrator/components/com_easytemplate/helpers/  popup.php
Line ~#125

Code

(javascript):

1. html += '<input type="text" id="'+name+'" />';

Change this to

Code

(javascript):

1. html += '<input type="text" id="'+name+'" size="50" />';

the size you like.

Maybe you have also to adjust the size of the popup through component configuration.

Please report back

Thanks Nikolai,
That's just what I was looking for. In fact, I wanted the box even bigger than that, so I tried a textarea instead, and that works fine. Here's the code I used (line 125):

Code:

html += ' <textarea id="'+name+'" cols="40" rows="10"></textarea>';

This pushes the input name on the left down to the bottom of the textarea, so I added a vertical-align to the previous line (line 124):

Code:

html += ' <strong style="color: blue;vertical-align: top;">'+text+'</strong>';

Thanks for the very speedy response...
