Hello,

I am having some minor issues getting the TinyMCE module to work 100%. The main issue is the text area box size issues since installing TinyMCE. I am not sure if this is a module issue, theme issue, or a TinyMCE Engine issue, but I thought I would start here.

1) When rich text editor (Tinymce) is enabled, the text area boxes get very very small or narrow depending on the node you happen to be in (Private Message is really narrow, but Blog looks ok). I have provided three screen shots below for examples:

Private Message Post Text area with TinyMCE is one line: http://www.unbreakablegaming.com/index.php?q=gallery&g2_itemId=117

Forum Post text are with TinyMCE and is narrow: http://www.unbreakablegaming.com/index.php?q=gallery&g2_itemId=114

Blog Text Area with TinyMCE: http://www.unbreakablegaming.com/index.php?q=gallery&g2_itemId=110

I am aware that they are resizable by dragging the lower right hand corner of the box, but that is not intutive for my normal users. Am I missing a setting someplace that gives a miminim height x width for the TinyMCE text areas? If I disable the rich text area or turn off the TinyMCE module, the text area sizes are normal.

Thanks for any guidance.

This is surely a CSS issue, is it not? My guess is that the textbox printed for the TinyMCE module can be modified by changing the class parameters using Dreamweaver or another CSS editor. Try opening the CSS file residing inside your theme folder and try to find the reference to the text box. CSS surely controls it so this is the first place I'd look. Assuming that it is a CSS issue, open the file in Dreamweaver and click on the CSS property menu to access the various CSS properties. When you find the class you're searching for, dble click it and you'll have a window pop up to change the setting of the property, ie. width and height of the box.

This is a wild guess but worth a shot until someone comes along and tells you precisely how to do it!

It could be a CSS issue, and am testing several different changes to see if I get an improvement. There is also TinyMCE settings I have found written in Javascript that could effect size as well. I am going to test both out and see if I can get a resolution. Thanks for the assistance.
