GTSmiliebox - Move Below Editing Area · **Released**: 01-29-2006

Sites with a lot of simlies and fixed-width layouts occasionally run into the "smilie-box-stretch-outside-box" problem.

View attachment image to see what I mean.

With this template modification the smilie toolbar box will now display below the editing area NOT beside it.

Nice simple hack....

The text area looks od now as it is just half the page...is it possible to resize it so that it strecthes its width to the space the smiley box earlier was.

The $stylevar[messagewidth] does i guess...

populz,
I believe you can edit the editor's width via STYLES & TEMPLATES/ StyleVars.

Awsome!

Have you looked at moving icons over to where the smilies were yet? Not a big deal as the smilies were my nightmare...

EasyTarget · #21 02-02-2006, 06:42 PM

great hack, thanks.

can you include the instructions in a text file? The mods make you do it anyways and it makes it easy to archive the hacks I've installed.
