Changing size of Dashboard QuickPress Content Box

  • Hi all,

    Im just new to the forum.
    Im trying to find 2 solutions here The first one are the one thats most important to me:

    1. I want to change the height size of the Content Box in Quickpress. I just in the opinion that 3 lines of text are to little to get an Overwiev of the whole text I would need at least 6-10 lines of text. I need suggestions here: How to change the form and where to find the file that include the form control code. My guess is its probably probably somewhere in one of all css files but im not to sure where it is or how to do it properly.

    2. Is there anyway to add a link manager in Quickpress on Dashboard as is in Edit Post under Pages? If its possible how to do that and where to put it properly in the code?

    Would really appreciate any answers to my questions that could guide me further.

    Sincerly

    I have succeded changing the frame size of file \wp-admin\css\dashboard.css on the line

    }
#dashboard_quick_press .input-text-wrap,
#dashboard_quick_press .textarea-wrap {
	margin: 0 0 1em 5em;
}

    To

    }
#dashboard_quick_press .input-text-wrap,
#dashboard_quick_press .textarea-wrap {
	margin: 0 0 1em 5em;
	height: 150px;
}

    But it only seem to change the frames of Title, Content and Tags, not the spaces to write in… its still consistant to 1 line at Title and Tags and on Content its still 3 lines and the scroll is hanging up in the right corner.

    Still need asistance on this how to solve. Please!

    Found it at last in the dashboard.css just havent adjusted it yet to fit properly.

    }

form .textarea-wrap {
	border-style: solid;
	border-width: 1px;
	padding: 2px;
	border-color: #f9d7dc;
	<strong>height: 150px;</strong>
}

#dashboard-widgets form .textarea-wrap textarea {
	border: 0 none;
	padding: 0;
	outline: none;
	width: 99%;
	-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
	-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
	box-sizing: border-box;
	<strong>height: 140px;</strong>
}

    This can make a real change on how to read the QuickPress posts while writing them in the admin systems Dashboard. I know by fact and 7 hours net searching later that there is too little documentation out there how to adjust this. For you who want to know:

    This only regards version 2.8.2 of WordPress since I havent tried all versions.

    Go to the wordpress folder wp-admin/css/ and open the file dashboard.css
    Find this code:

    form .textarea-wrap {
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
    padding: 2px;
    border-color: #CCC;
    }

    #dashboard-widgets form .textarea-wrap textarea {
    border: 0 none;
    padding: 0;
    outline: none;
    width: 99%;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    }

    Change the code to:

    form .textarea-wrap {
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
    padding: 2px;
    border-color: #CCC;
    height: 250px;
    }

    #dashboard-widgets form .textarea-wrap textarea {
    border: 0 none;
    padding: 0;
    outline: none;
    width: 99%;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    height: 99%;
    }

    This will give you a Content box height on the Dashboard QuickPress to 250px and a scroll bar that follows up all the way down.

    Save and and upload to the destination folder on your server.
