Hi All,
I am new to this forum and new to MyBB in general. I have inherited administration for a form website and have the following issue that has been outstanding for a long time:
When a user tries to Reply (either to a thread or a PM) the Reply text box seems to be a fixed size so if the message they reply to is more than a line long there is no space for the reply until you expand the box using the sizer in the bottom right corner:
[
attachment=42585]
[
attachment=42586]
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
MyBB Version 1.8.22
PHP Version 7.0.33
Edit the "Show Thread Templtes" > "showthread_quickreply" and change the number of rows to any higher value.
Or remove the parameter rows="" at all and add a "height: 200px;" within style="...".
This is the original code of the message box:
<textarea style="width: 100%; padding: 4px; margin: 0;" rows="8" cols="80" name="message" id="message" tabindex="1"></textarea>

reply drafted before seeing above response :
find code
similar to below in
newreply template,
newthread template,
private_send template
<textarea name="message" id="message" rows="20" cols="70" tabindex="2">{$message}</textarea>
increase
rows value by
increasing number in
rows="20"
save the template & check if it helps

Thanks - this is on a Reply, not a quick reply.
the quick reply Template is as your quoted original

Thanks for your reply.
This doesn't seem to help - changing the 'rows' number makes no difference.
^ which theme you are using ? have you tried hard refreshing new reply page [eg. press CTRL + F5]

Thanks for your continued assistance
I'm not sure - it seems to be a custom one created by predecessors.
Hard refresh doesn't work either.
How can I troubleshoot which Templates a page uses?
EDIT:
Theme seems to be a modified NetPen
I have found that the settings specified by row were being overwritten by the height setting of this code in the global.css:
textarea {
background : #fff;
color : #333;
border : #8f98a3 solid 2px;
padding : 2px;
line-height : 1.4;
outline : 0;
font-family : Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size : 13px;
height : 175px;
}
^ so, I assume you have resolved it
Yes,
Thank you for your help - it pointed me in the right direction.
Is there an easy way to tell which templates a particular page is using? A kind of debug mode?
Quote:... which templates a particular page is using? A kind of debug mode?
administrator has option to see the
debug information with a link at
bottom right of every page.
its link appears like
[Advanced Details] below
memory usage information.
that
debug information includes
used templates list.
Also, source page of forum includes templates information in comment tags
<!-- start: showthread -->
// related code
<!-- end: showthread -->
above both facilities have toggle option at forum admin panel
forum admin panel >>
configuration >>
