Muhaha.

Yes, you can just adjust the height/width of the textarea using CSS, in your theme style sheet.

form.contact-form div.form-textarea textarea {
   height: 250px;
   width: 500px;
}

Of course, you can change the numerical descriptors above to whatever you like. Just add this to your theme style sheet and you’re all set.

Let us know if that helps.

I think you got it, Gene. It looks centered in Firefox 3.0.1 as it does in IE7.

Changing the text area should also be done via CSS. None of the styling for this form is integrated with the plugin functionality, which is intentional so it can be integrated more efficiently.

As for using the included sample style sheet file, see the FAQ section in the readme.

There was an issue with the Sandbox 1.5.x gallery code and WordPress 2.6. The gallery issued was fixed with Sandbox 1.6. Let us know if the upgrade didn’t work.

Thanks, sunburntkamel. Always Johnnie-on-the-spot.

You’re very welcome. Thanks for the kind words. ??

The from email address/name should be fixed and compatible with plugins in the next release, 0.1.1, which should be available this afternoon.

As to the use of tags in legend text, currently all HTML will be stripped from the legend text fields. To bold the legend text, do this with CSS instead of b or strong for better semantic XHTML.

Let me know how it goes.

A POT file for translation is provided with the theme. I haven’t received any additional languages, though.

I’m not familiar with that plugin, but will have a look this evening. This plugin builds its email address without help from WordPress, so I imagine that’s the problem. So if there’s a better way, I’m all for it.

I’ll let you know what I find out.

Not a problem. Thanks for your quick response.

I’m also having the same problem.

1. Installed the plugin via subversion to ../plugins/contactforms/
2. Activated plugin in the <i>Plugin Management</i> screen

But then the <b>cforms II</b> link on the dashboard, ie, at the same level as Dashboard, Write, Manage, Comments, etc., does not appear so cforms II settings are unavailable.

Sure, Moshu.

The following are for the blog.txt theme, version 1.2, in the home.php file.

Lines 5 through 48 are for the “custom” layout.

The “custom” layout basically displays one page by its slug (entered in the blog.txt Theme Options menu) and then the most recent post after that.

The the_content lines for the “custom” layout are on lines 12 and 24.

Lines 50 through 89 are for the “default” layout.

The “default” layout is a regular layout, displaying however many posts are set in the Options > Reading menu.

To change the the_content to the_excerpt in the default layout, you should look at line 58 in the home.php file.

James had a question with my blog.txt theme, which we’ve resolved. It wasn’t a bug with the theme, but rather a complication caused by the multiple layout option for the home.php file.

Basically in the blog.txt home.php file, there are two layouts that are chosen ala conditional based on an option from the Presentation > blog.txt Theme Options menu.

James had changed the the_content(); for the custom layout, but he was using the default layout so he needed to a change a different, separate the_content();, which I helped him do. One he changed that one to the_excerpt(); he got his desired effect: excerpts on the home page.

Magic!

If you’re up for some fun with the functions.php file and creating some dynamic functions for producing “semantic” classes, I’ve posted an article of this very topic:

Dynamic Semantic Classes

This basically explains a “simple” way to give the body tag dynamic & semantic classes, e.g., on the home page, body class="home " and on a single, body class="single " and then on a category archive page, body class="archive category "

Or something like that.

I’ve just posted something on my blog about this very topic.

I hope this helps you in your quest.
