Hi,

So, I've been using civicrm with drupal for a few weeks now.

One of the things I noticed is that the built-in profile questions (i.e. website, and phone number) when displayed on html input forms, take on default sizes: "<input maxlength="128" size="45" name="home_URL" type="text" id="home_URL" class="form-text huge" />"

Is there a way to control the sizes that custom input text fields take on? I want the user to submit a facebook and myspace page link in the form of a url. However, I can't get the input fields to take on a larger size since it is my own custom type.

Thanks for your help.

Your best bet is probably to use the "stand-alone" feature of profile and then modify the size appropriately as needed. You might want to ensure that the database size of those fields can hold the html values that could be potentially entered if you increase the size

Thanks for your help. What do you mean by the "stand-alone" feature of profile?

Thanks.

CiviCRM will give you an HTML "snippet" for a profile which you can put on any web page. You can manipulate the layout, field sizes etc. in the HTML before adding it to web pages.... For more info, check the online doc:
