How do I change validate admin form Textaera
Hello

In the admin, when I validate site in links directory, I would like to enlarge the Description Textarea (row and col).

Does somebody know how to do it ?

Thanks a lot...

Hi,

That shouldn't be too hard.

Log into your admin panel, click on Database > Links > Properties

Then, click on the "Description" field, to edit it.

In the "Form Size" field, just set it to the size you want - i.e 50,30

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Thanks Andy

Maybe we don't have the same "links".
I work with CGI version Links 2.0. An old version of gossamer links, it seems... Smile

And I have no "administration panel"

Hi,

Erm, are you even using LinksSQL, or the flat-file Links 2.0 (i.e non-sql =))

If using the flat-file version, its cos you've posted in the wrong forum Tongue

heheh - no problem =)

To do what you are asking in Links 2 (static file), you need to just edit /admin/links.def.

Find:

Code:
Description => [5, 'alpha', '40x3', 3000, 0, '', ''],

..and change to:

Code:
Description => [5, 'alpha', '40x10', 3000, 0, '', ''],

That should do it :)

I'll move this post to the right forum for you now :)

Cheers

Or did you answer in the wrong forum thinking that this was the LinksSQL forum? This is the Links v2.0 Customization forum. I think he posted in the correct forum myself. Tongue

Oh, that explains my confusion then. I didn't see any indication that it was moved from somewhere else. Sorry!
