Altering the width of the TinyMCE content editor?

TJF · 04.09.2004, 07:00

Hi,

I have TinyMCE set as my HTML editor. When I click 'Submit News' on the User Menu, I get a TinyMCE UI displayed in the content area. However, it's width is destroying my page (because it is greater than the width of the content area).

I can't find anywhere in the code (or its css file) to modify this value! When I click Images, Publishing or Metadata it shrinks to a smaller width which fits into my overall page design.

Thanks.

components/com_content/content.html.php

PHP Code:

  // parameters : areaname, content, hidden field, width, height, rows, cols

editorArea( 'editor1',  $row->introtext , 'introtext', '500', '200', '45', '5' ) ;

PHP Code:

  // parameters : areaname, content, hidden field, width, height, rows, cols

editorArea( 'editor2',  $row->fulltext , 'fulltext', '500', '200', '45', '5' ) ;

You need to change the width and cols settings.
This will affect the size of ALL editors not just TinyMCE

THANKS. No wonder I couldn't find this... I was fiddling around in the folders and files for each individual editor :P

hello.........i cant seem to make this work.....
either its tinymce or htmlarea....changing those fields doesnt bring any results to the size of the editor.....

is there any other things u can suggest me do......

for tinymce, i tried changing the width field on mambots/editors/tinymce.php
but resulted in errors...........
well........looks like i have to go with the normal forms.....

I think this is somewhere in your template, I'm using fckeditor because it let's you alter the width in the mambot parameters. When using 100% (default) it gives the same result as with TinyMCE. I altered this to 550 and I have a fine working and good visable editor.
