I’ve made simple extension, which allow vertically resize textareas in Publish area using 2 small icons right the textarea field.

CM Textarea Resizer extension

Installation:

  1. Download the file “cm_textarea_resizer_extension.zip”;
  2. Upload the file named “ext.cm_textarea_resizer.php” to the /system/extensions/ folder;
  3. Upload the file named “lang.cm_textarea_resizer.php” to the /system/language/english/ folder;
  4. Go into the Extensions Manager, enable the extension and check the Settings;
  5. Go to Publish area and put your cursor to textarea. Check the two icons right to field and resize it as you wish.
  6. Enjoy the new EE feature.

There are any limitations. This extension do not working with WYSIWYG editors e.g. TinyMCE.

I’m just confused - why would you use this over just changing the normal of rows that are displayed, which resizes the textarea?

It’s really comfortable, because You can change the size while You’re editing the content, etc.

Thanks Gabriel!

Very nice indeed!

You might want to add a screenshot or description so people know what to look for… It took me about 10 minutes to see those icons appear when I clicked inside a textarea :red:

Thanks

I’d really like to include this functionality in the PublishImprove extension. What say you?

Thinking about it that would be a great extension if it was applied to the Templates section edit textarea?
