I'm trying to use a simple table view of certain node types, in fact I started with the view included in the readme. And I'm having a couple of issues:

first, no matter what I do I can't seem adjust the number of items returned in the list. The bottom 1/2 of the letters in the pager are being cut off so I have to either reduce the number of items or increase the windows size. I went through the code and I couldn't find where to resize the window either.

Second, I was trying to use an exposed filter for "Node Type" to make the list more manageable, and when the submit button is clicked, it sends me to the normal url version of the view which doesnt fit in the easylink window. And, because I can't resize the window, the pager gets cut off because of the room the filter is taking.

I would be more than happy to fix these items my self, but no matter how many times I read the code, I can't find where to do it. Any info/tips would be greatly appreciated , thanks.

I kinda had a feeling that views filters would cause a problem. I planned on implemented this functionality eventually, but I haven't had time to work on the module lately. I know the panels module allows an override url to be used for views filters, perhaps I can see how that works and incorporate that functionality into easylink. I also agree that the window size needs to be configurable or automatic. I can help you out in the mean time. The window size is set in editor_plugin.js with template['width'] and template['height']. I'll be spending a few hours on an airplane over the next week. Hopefully I can get some work done on this module during that time.

thats great, thanks. Now that I know where to look for the size issue, I'll play around with it myself. I've gotten some more experience with drupal since I posted, so perhaps I can contribute something back. If I come up with anything I"ll post back.

The views filter problem has been fixed in the newest development release. I am still working on making the window resizable, however there is already an issue open for this here: http://drupal.org/node/151524 I am marking this issue as fixed.

Excellent-- thanks. I'll load up the release and give it a test drive as soon as time allows. Thanks again.

I just wanted to follow up here so you didn't get frustrated. I got a little confused when creating the new release and created the release against HEAD. So if you downloaded the 5.x-1.x-dev before today it won't be the most recent version with the new fixes and features. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

No problem, thanks for the info. I actually haven't gotten a chance to upgrade yet so no worries. I'll load up the new release and give it a test drive as soon as I get a chance. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for working on this--- I can't tell you how my users depend on this module. I was toying with the idea of switching to FCKEdit because of some difficulties my users are having with tinymce-- but I gave them the option. As soon as they heard they would lose EasyLink that was it-- no change, lol.

Such a simple thing really--- but what a difference it makes usability wise.

the new version seems to be working a-ok. one development type question tho--- whenever i try to change the view I have to delete the old one and create a new one with a different name... it seems as if it's being cached somewhere, but I can't seem to find where. When you are working on this how to you clear the old view for testing purposes?
