I've asked this on drupal.org http://drupal.org with no answer and I've searched the website with little result. I wish the search function on Drupal were more robust. Perhaps in a future version.

To my question.

I'm using the bluemarine theme. I have several users that would like the body section of content to be taller and wider. I've scanned the theme docs and am now printing them to pour over later. I also have the TinyMCE rich text editor installed if they wish to use it.

Does anyone know how one can change the number of columns and rows in the textareas?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks Alison!

It wouldn't be in there it would be in one of the modules. mode.module probably. Go in there and find the form_textarea and change it's rows and cols, look up the function at drupaldocs.org http://drupaldocs.org

Thanks Gordon, that worked fine.

For future reference where are the sizes actually set (without reading a LOT of code)? I've found functions but nowhere that seems to call that function with actual numbers.

Perhaps it's all in a set of variables somewhere. I'll keep looking just so I know!

Thanks again! Skip

Hi,

The easiest method that have found to change this is to use css.

try something like

#edit-body { width: 100%; height: 20em; }

this should allow you to change the textarea to what you want.

Hi,

The actual function is form_textarea() which is in the includes directory. but where the sizes are pasted is all over. just find the form_textarea() and there are 2 parameters that specify the width and depth.

check drupaldocs.org for more information.

Gordon.
