I was reading this article about making CMSes easier:
alistapart.com/article/training-the-cms

And FLEXIcontent covers all the bases.

However: Is there anyway to extend the length of the description for the infobox? It seems to cut out after so many characters.

Trying to write about hugegallery and remembering to resize/rename the images before uploading.

Hi Micker,

Sorry - I don't see it - I must be blind.

I am looking at extending the length of the textarea for the help description field. For image field I see no way to increase this size.

Ok - I found it:

But its a model - its located in administrator > components > com_flexicontent > models > form > field.xml
Code:
<field name="description" type="textarea" cols="30" rows="7" default="" label="FLEXI_FIELD_DESCRIPTION" description="FLEXI_FIELD_DESCRIPTION_DESC" class="inputbox" labelclass="label" />

So - if I override it will be replaced.

Hello

they way that should be done is via CSS rule (as it is done in other places)

min-width: NN%;


will add CSS for this in next commit

Sorry - I have tried to increase the length of the textarea but it cuts out after saving. Am I missing something?

Code:
Code:
textarea#jform_description { min-width: 100%; resize:both; }

Its related to the model view - if I increase the size of the textarea it doesn't cut out.
