Have you ever wanted to change the size of the textfield when you post a message? Now it is possible....
With this Hack every user can have a custom textfield size.
Both width and hight can simply be changed by specifying your favorit values in your Options Menu.

Many thanks to Thomas"cptza" woh helped me a lot, to finish this hack

You need to edit 2 files and 3 templates

First open admin/functions.php
find

Code:

if (eregi("MSIE",$HTTP_USER_AGENT)) { // browser is IE
		return "70";

and replace it with

Code:

// ###################### Start gettextareawidth #######################
function gettextareawidth () {
  global $DB_site,$HTTP_USER_AGENT, $bbuserinfo;
  $textareacols=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT textareacols FROM user WHERE userid='$userid'");
  $textarearows=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT textarearows FROM user WHERE userid='$userid'");

    if	($bbuserinfo[textareacols]!=0) {
      return "$bbuserinfo[textareacols]";
    }if	($bbuserinfo[textarearows]!=20) {
      return "$bbuserinfo[textarearows]";  
    	}elseif (eregi("MSIE",$HTTP_USER_AGENT)) { // browser is IE
		return "70";

In member.php
find

Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[showsignatures]) {
    $showsignatureschecked="checked";
    $showsignaturesnotchecked="";
  } else {
    $showsignatureschecked="";
    $showsignaturesnotchecked="checked";
  }

And under it insert

Code:

// textarea Begin
$textareacols=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT textareacols FROM user WHERE userid='$userid'");
$textarearows=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT textarearows FROM user WHERE userid='$userid'");	 
	
 // Textarea End

find

Code:

 $DB_site->query("UPDATE user
                   SET ".$updatestyles."adminemail='$adminemail',
                      showemail='$showemail',invisible='$invisible',cookieuser='$cookieuser',
                      maxposts='".addslashes($umaxposts)."',daysprune='".addslashes($prunedays)."',
                      timezoneoffset='".addslashes($timezoneoffset)."',emailnotification='$emailnotification',
                      startofweek='".addslashes($startofweek)."',options='$options',receivepm='$receivepm',
                      emailonpm='$emailonpm',pmpopup='$pmpopup',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]',
                      nosessionhash='$nosessionhash'
                   WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");

and replace it with

Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user
                   SET ".$updatestyles."adminemail='$adminemail',
                      showemail='$showemail',invisible='$invisible',cookieuser='$cookieuser',
                      maxposts='".addslashes($umaxposts)."',daysprune='".addslashes($prunedays)."',
                      timezoneoffset='".addslashes($timezoneoffset)."',emailnotification='$emailnotification',
                      startofweek='".addslashes($startofweek)."',options='$options',receivepm='$receivepm',
                      emailonpm='$emailonpm',pmpopup='$pmpopup',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]',
                      nosessionhash='$nosessionhash',textareacols='$textareacols',textarearows='$textarearows'
                   WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");

in your Admin CP edit the templates newreply and newthread
Find

Code:

<textarea name="message" rows="20" cols="$textareacols" wrap="virtual" tabindex="2">$message</textarea>

and replace it with

Code:

<textarea name="message" rows="$bbuserinfo[textarearows]" cols="$textareacols" wrap="virtual" tabindex="2">$message</textarea>

Edit modifyoptions template
insert

Code:

<tr><td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont><b>Textarea Size:</b></normalfont><br>
	<smallfont>Edit the Size of the textarea. 
$userinfo[textareacols]</smallfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont>

<smallfont>width:</smallfont><input type="text" size="3" value="$bbuserinfo[textareacols]" name="textareacols" class="bginput">   <smallfont> hight:</smallfont><input type="text" size="3" value="$bbuserinfo[textarearows]" name="textarearows" class="bginput">
</normalfont></td></tr>

were you want it to appear.
