Comment Box is To small

[Fortissimo]

We had this issue the last time we upgraded, so I fear that the new files over wrote any fix there was.

I was trying to leave comments in the gallery but instead of the area to comment being horizontal it's a very thin vertical strip that you can only see one letter at a time when typing. I know this happened once before to me and it finally got straigtened out after a few days.
Help again is needed, I don't know what was done last time. Just whatever it was it worked.

Not too sure not seeing a site but maybe possibly in the quickcom or quickcom367 templates add this in bold.

Thanks Chuck. That makes box look much better.

[Chuck S]

Glad to help buddy have a good day.

Same issue here but only with Internet Explorer. Firefox as always seems to be OK. Fixed it with Chuck's suggestion.

[Chuck S]

Yeah an IE quirk I would think.

I'm having the same problem, but I haven't been able to locate the quickcom file you indicated in the previous response. Can you please tell me where to look? which directory? The problem is actually appearing in the page showphoto.php but I'm not finding code that looks like what you indicate.

[Chuck S]

The template edits noted here are in the templates folder of the Photopost directory structure under the filenames.

The closest thing I can find in the quickcom.tmpl file is this:

$comq .= <<<PPPRINT
<tr>
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}">
{$Globals['pp_lang']['comments']}:<br /><br />
<span class="{$Style['small']}"><a href="javascript:PopUpHelp('help/ubbcode.php')">{$Globals['pp_lang']['bbcode']}</a><br />
<a href="javascript:PopUpHelp('help/smilies.php')">{$Globals['pp_lang']['smilies']}</a></span></span>
</td>
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}">
<textarea name="message" cols="80" rows="5"></textarea>
</td>
</tr>

vB 3.7.3
PP version 6.x.x

Your not looking in the right folder. You should be looking in the templates/vb3enhanced folder.

[Simons]

If your integrated with VB then I believe you need to edit this file quickcom367 under templates > vb3enhanced

[webicity]

Found the file, don't find the code indicated. $comq .= <<<PPPRINT appears repeatedly but none of the rest lines up. quickcom367 does not appear in the vb3enhanced directory. I guess I need a bit more guidance here. This particular file version is earlier than 8/22/06. The problem was noticed following the recent vB upgrade.

Old Version Of Photopost Ok

Try Line 215 of quickcom template then you will follow the coding and see the table right before $messagearea

[webicity]

OK I found this:

$comq .= <<<PPPRINT
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="left">
<tr>
<td id="vB_Editor_QR" class="vBulletin_editor" align="left">
$messagearea

That doesn't look like the earlier example code.

[Chuck S]

Of course it would not your using an older version than in this discussion. My post is from November 2008.

Adding in the width statement should help.

[webicity]

Could you indicate the correct placement of that width statement so I don't put it in the wrong place?

[Chuck S]

well your templates are different that ours but possibly this

Looks like that fixed it! Thanks for your patience! Sorry I had so much trouble finding my way.

[iloco]

They don't come any better than Chuck for working with people with problems.
Especially with people like me who barely understands the coding for photopost.
I hope hes around as long as I use photopost.

Merry Christmas Chuck..

[webicity]

Ditto here. Thank you Chuck!
