XF 1.2 I need more width for user custom field

[Puntocom]

I have set up a custom user field for GnuPG public key, but it looks broken, it needs more width.

How can I do extend the width of it?

Where?
On the profile page?


How much more width do you need than that?

 

[Puntocom]

at least 64 characters.

 

[Paul B]

So is it the physical width you need to increase or the number of characters which can be accepted in the field?

I just entered 64 characters in a custom field on my own site with no issues - all of the characters were visible too.

With the help of Brogan I have managed to solve this setting:

.contactInfo, .aboutPairs - set to 730px
.contactInfo dt, .aboutPairs dt - set to 35%
.contactInfo dd, .aboutPairs dd - set to 70%

 

[Paul B]

70%+35%=105%.

You should probably reduce one or both so they total around 98%.

730px - 30% - 70% works perfectly here.

Thank you again.

I have changed the percentage like this:

.contactInfo dt, .aboutPairs dt {
    width: 70%;
}

... but it is just breaking the field-data into another line.


Could you please post the whole CSS-change you have made in order to achieve a bigger width for the columns ?


Many thanks!

set this:

.contactInfo, .aboutPairs - set to 730px
.contactInfo dt, .aboutPairs dt - set to 30%
.contactInfo dd, .aboutPairs dd - set to 70%

it should work.... do you use fixed with? if the answer is yes, how much width?

 

[erich37]

no, I am using fluid XF-default width.


not sure about the 730px you have mentioned in your CSS ?
