Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System.

If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.

Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.

Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Multitext field - too small?

13 years 2 months ago #5068 by psychposse
My contact form's Message field is small.

I have selected multi text, expecting a larger text box, much like this one I am typing into now.

But the box is no larger than the name box or any other field.

Is this normal?

Attached image capture of it.

Joomla 1.5.4

Dear psychposse,

That's odd. Can you please provide an URL so I can take a look at it?

Also, you have a very old Joomla version install and I strongly recommend you to update to the latest version for security reasons.
My church website was a couple versions outdated and it was hacked and I had a major problem to retrieve all the information that the hacker/cracker damaged.

Best regards,

I am building the site on my localhost (wamp) server - it isn't available online.

I won't be updating to Joomla 1.6 because the template I am using (and don't wish to change) does not work with 1.6 and available extensions seem to be a bit limited yet for 1.6.

Though I will attempt an upgrade to a newer version.

'Update'

I made the update to 1.5.22

I am happy that my template is working :)


Here is what I have: I had already set up a contact menu item using the standard default contact form. Then I purchased and installed the ce contact enhancements. I changed the contact menu type to use the enhanced standard contact form.

Now that I have upgraded Joomla to 1.5.22, the multitext is much larger if I view the contact form via the little feedback tab/modal window, but if I go to my contact article through the menu button, the multitext message box is still small.

Thanks again for feedback/support.

I am a bit "wet behind the ears" with Joomla :side: - but I really like it so far. :woohoo:

I did not realize that Joomla 1.5.22 was the latest 1.5.x version, mostly because 1.5.4 is a higher number than 1.5.22 <--- that is a bit messed up. :S

1.5.4 should have been 1.5.04 :)

Dear psychposse,

This might be a template CSS incompatibility.
Can you please try to append template=ja_purity to the URL query? This will load the JA Purity template just for testing, to make sure it is a template related issue.

If it is you can try to use Firebug in order to find out what's the problem and fix it, or you can wait until you publish your website so I can take a look.

Best regards,

I am not sure what you mean?

I can't find a 'ja purity' template

Dear psychposse,

It is a default template, but if you cannot find it, might be because it has been deleted.

Can you wait for a solution when you publish your site? It is really hard to debug if your site is offline.

Sincerely
