Re: increasing the size of the Txp:comment message input field
I’m not 100% on this but I don’t think the plug-in uses the comments_display form. You could use the CSS method as above. When I use the CSS it changes both my blog and guestbook textareas at the same time.

Re: increasing the size of the Txp:comment message input field
i was curious about this. are u referring to a line of code in the textpattern.css?
if so is the line u have specified meant to be an addition to the code, or is it already in there somewhere? because i was not able to see it.

No, it’s used in your site style CSS.

Re: increasing the size of the Txp:comment message input field
just wondering if anyone has been able to move the input fields so that they sit above the comments instead of at the bottom?

Have a look at the “comments_display” form template. You can move things around in there.
Oh! Are you still talking about guestbook?

Re: increasing the size of the Txp:comment message input field
yes. sorry i wasn’t specific. i already tried rearranging “comments_display” but it doesn’t change anything. is there another way?

No you can’t do it that way with the guestbook plug-in. It does it’s own form-calling. Anyway it can be done but you will need to hack the plug-in code. It is only a case of moving 1 line. It will only affect the guestbook. Are you up for it?

Re: increasing the size of the Txp:comment message input field
OK. You need to edit the sdr_guestbook function which is the very first function after the help text. The line we need to move is right at the end of this function so scroll down and look for this:-
<code>
$out .= commentForm( $ID );
return $out;
}
// ——————————————————————————————-</code>
<br />
You need to move the <code>$out .= commentForm( $ID );</code> line. Scroll up a few lines and you should see this:-
<code>
if ($darr) {
$out.= “$pagestring_top<ol$commentsid>”.n;
$out.= sdr_formatComments($darr, $atts);
$out.= n.”</ol>”.n.”$pagestring_bottom”.n.”<br />”;</code>
<br />
You need to place that line immediately above this code so you end up with this:-
<code>
$out .= commentForm( $ID );
if ($darr) {
$out.= “$pagestring_top<ol$commentsid>”.n;
$out.= sdr_formatComments($darr, $atts);
$out.= n.”</ol>”.n.”$pagestring_bottom”.n.”<br />”;</code>
<br />
That should complete the move for you. I’m not sure if this will have any effect on the “Preview” though I doubt it as that is a separate function.

Re: increasing the size of the Txp:comment message input field
Hi again
Recently discovered that my users are not able to make posts on my guestbook in IE or Opera browsers (mac or windows).
Had a look though the publish.php file and figured that It may attributed to the piece of code below
form method=“post” action=”“ style=“margin-top:2em”
The action attribute is empty. I don’t know why it would work on other browsers and not IE. If you know the destination page the information is to be posted, it might work … could this be a likely cause? and if so, would the destination page simply be the url of that page?
