Description

After a year of asking, searching the forums and wondering why non of my textareas continued to be static, I found by pure chance this module disbles the resizable-textarea.

Please add to the README.TXT file, the MODULE description area and documentation page on Drupal.org.

Thanks,
liza

BTW, the information is embeded as a comment in the code (?!?) but is nowhere else to be found.

Support for this module sucks. So, I guess you are out of luck.

I trust this module will be handed over to a more committed developer. If not, we will have to fork it.

That's an entirely unnecessary comment naudefj. If you've maintained a module before you'd know that its never easy to keep up with the issue queue.

Rather than posting inflammatory things like that you can do one of several things that are much more productive:
1) contact the developer and plead the importance of the issue. It works, I've talked to Ber about the future of this modules myself.
2) *bump* the issues and mark it critical if you find it as such.

If I where Ber, I'd be seriously turned off by your comment.

I do maintain some modules myself. One of them, BBCode, in relying on quicktags. I remember previously having problems getting patches pass Ber. However, I snapped when I've opened 5 issues and all 5 of them are waiting for Ber. In particular, this one is "ready to be committed" since August 18, 2006 (7 months!).

W.r.t your patch: when/where will the "admin/help#advcontact" text be displayed?

For a list of valid section parameters, see http://api.drupal.org/api/head/function/hook_help

"admin/help#advcontact" didn't get changed from my quick copy paste. see "user/help#modulename" and me typing the patch up annoyed on my way out of the house. Hense "needs work"

I'm reviewing some of these old issues.
Is this still relevant?

I need a tab solution, how do you disable the resizable text area's!

Is the bugs going to be worked out on this? I wish I could help, but this module is beyond my ability to work with Drupal at this time.

I would bet that this is caused by a conflict in java script naming function calls. Just a hunch
