Changing the number of smilies in a column...

[travman]

The default is 4 smiles in a column, it will allow you to change the amount of rows, but not the amount in columns. I searched google and these boards, but the only info I can find is how to change all that on the popup smile box, and not natively on the edit page. A work around right now is to add a lot more number per row, but then it takes a lot of space from the text window, and has lots of negative space below where more smiles can go.

Anyone know what I am talking about? Any detailed help would be much appreciated. The forum goes live this weekend, trying to get all the small final details worked out.

Many thanks in advance!

I know of that option, but this is not for the column, its how many rows. I have set the number of smilies in the option you listed above to a lot as a work around, but that makes them stretch over wasting space. I want to add more in a column, not a row. I know it has to be done in a template, and I read about it, I guess you could add more rows too, same thing I am trying to achieve.

Well, you may set the total amount of smilies (T) and you may set the amount of smilies per row (R). The number of smilies per column (C) is then T divided by R:

C=T/R

So, you set the number of smilies per column by changing those two values appropriately.

Yes, but for example, I have 50 smilies. If I set the number per row to 5, only 4 rows of 5 show up. (Yet there are 50 smiles to be displayed (50 is also set to the before pop-up box is displayed, so they should all be displayed at once). If I change the number per row to 7, only 7 per row with only 4 rows still, so I get more smilies to be displayed, but not all of them still. It only will keep 4 rows no matter what, that is what I want changed. I want all 50 smilies to be displayed at once and not use a pop-up box. Thanks! It is acting like a hard coded setting... which I think it is from what I was reading, I just didn't understand what code to change...

Then that is a CSS issue, not any setting issue. You can use something like firebug to figure out what CSS to change and then add it to the additional.css template.

I have this same problem too. I have setted a total amount of smilies 44 , 4 smilies per row(should be 11 rows), but are showed only 32 smilies(8 rows) in the box.... why this?

Probably because of the CSS. It's absolutely impossible to tell unless we can view the page using something like firebug.

I think that the maximun default number of the rows is 8, now i have set 5 smilies per row but don't show up over 8 rows..... it is not a big problem.
