Custom Field Widths in Event Add/Edit Screens

[Anonymous]

I’ve got a few different custom fields that are ‘too small’ in the admin event add/edit screen, making it difficult to work with them. I know I can edit their html properties (such as width/size) in the custom field screen, which changes how it looks on the front-end, but it doesn’t seem to change the back-end at all..

Is there a way to specify the size of these items on the back-end?
Here’s a screenshot of what I’m referring to…

Also, FWIW, it might be a nice touch to instead of rely on the admin/web person to put in the HTML markup in the custom-fields, if you have a few ‘standard’ items as checkboxes/fill-in fields so it makes formatting easier.

For example, if I select a dropdown custom field type, still have the custom formatting string, but also then show common html markup options to enable/set, such as: width, size, color. Clearly not all properties, but at least maybe a handful for the common types (text boxes, text areas, dropdowns, etc.) would go a long way to adding usability to your plugin.

Thanks again and keep up the good – no great – work.

There are just too many options for html to have them all covered, so I leave the extra html attributes up to the person defining them. It is never needed of course.
Concerning the fact it doesn’t show as you want in the backend: your theme might be interfering here, you should do some browser-debugging using your browser CSS debugger of choice.
