How to modify the "include" boxes in the New Mailing screen?
December 16, 2013, 03:46:08 am
Hi!

As the names of my groups are very large, I would like to modify the width of the "include" "exclude" boxes in the "New mailing" screen.

See pic attached.

How can I achieve that?

Thanks!!

maybe use a jquery snippet on that page to modify the html attributes and/or css of the multi-select box?

I was wondering if there was a way of doing it at the admin control panel, but it works with some CSS.

Thanks!  :)

It would be really nice if these boxes were bigger by default -- both the height and width very quickly became too small for us. Maybe at least vertically their size could be dynamic based on the number of groups, even if only two or three possible sizes.

Hey John - Try this patch. It sets auto width and uses the number of groups to set the height. That  might be too much if LOTS of groups - in which case open to suggestions about an algorithm to use.
