Re: rah_expanding // Dynamically growing textareas
Great plugin! Can it be modified to auto-expand the pages/forms/style textareas too?

By adding to line 19 more selectors ($("textarea#body, textarea#excerpt").autogrow();), in example the IDs of those textareas. Then you must also alter the CSS, as Textareas will require min-height and static line-height to plugin work properly.

Re: rah_expanding // Dynamically growing textareas
Wow!
Lovely – will read-back now to see how increased width can be achieved too — I’m doing a ton of content input and this plugin solves much of my slight small-space-frustration — Thanks!
At LAST I’ve cheerfully donated to the core devs at #TXP. I only wish I were able to give more. Thanks to the devs and ALL fellow TXPers. -A

Re: rah_expanding // Dynamically growing textareas
Wonderful plugin, Gocom! Just stumbled on this gem.
I haven’t actually used it yet outside of running some Lorum ipsum text to see the behavior so I have one question…when you save the article does it save the height of the adjusted text areas or does it collapste back to the default heights? (Ed. — Looks like it stays. Nice!)

Re: rah_expanding // Dynamically growing textareas
Ah, I see. There’s a max character point where if passed then Txp’s default behavior returns for that article. That’s a bit of a bummer as my articles tend to be long and will break that limit frequently. Any way to extend that, or make it possible to configure as a preference?

Re: rah_expanding // Dynamically growing textareas
New version, 0.3, released. It’s a major update which changes rah_autogrowing_textarea a lot, and makes some tasty additions.
Changelog:
- Added: Admin panel (interface) under Extensions.
- Added: Able to define which textareas autogrow.
- Added: Max. height limit, line height and other optional style settings are now adjustable.
- Improved code.
And now some forum post replies. Battime.

Not character limit, but height limit of 3000px. Starting from version 0.3, it’s adjustable via interface.

It stays. It’s activately calculated from line count, upon page load.

The reason I ask is because it does not appear to be recursive with articles I’ve already written
It is.

Thanks a lot for the update. Plugin works for me, however, clicking on the admin panel just leads to the following error message in my case:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function rah_plugin_download_install() in [PATH]/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(570) : eval()'d code on line 190

Re: rah_expanding // Dynamically growing textareas
This seems to not play nice with hak_tinymce … it creates a duplicate textarea, the rah_autogrowing_textarea one on top, and the hak_tinymce one below.

Absolutely. hak_tinymce is a WYSIWYG editor and uses it’s own editor area. So they can not work together.

Re: rah_expanding // Dynamically growing textareas
Hi Gocom and Guys,
Looks like a super plugin, I am looking at it on a test install at the moment but need some advice. I can see in the main textpattern.css;
textarea#body, textarea#excerpt, textarea#keywords, textarea#css, textarea#html, textarea#plugin-install
What I would like to do is increase the text area of Custom Field 1, I am using this for my meta_desc tag for each page and it’s not too easy to work with, or more importantly read back being such a short input field. Could you give me some advice as to how I can adjust this field to make it multi-line, autogrow or just bigger.
Thanks
Steve
