One of the columns I am displaying is a text field.

just a plain ole text area field, no editor
(although I tried using one with the editor too)

field settings: (also tried several variations on the row vs col.)
-size: 0
-500 characters allowed
-25 columns
-10 rows.

Nothing special about this field

but when I add it to a column in the userlists...it dominates and pushes the other columns flat (I have 3 columns)

col 1 is some fields
col 2 is the text area
col 3 is an image

When I remove the text area field and replace it with another regular cb field like cb_phonenumber or as shown in the image "profile hits"

the display is better and the columns all share the screen somewhat evenly.

I have tried switching to different cb_plug templates
and all behave the same way. even third party ones. Adding a definite width like 200px or 50% in the cb_plugs template.css file either makes all the columns share that same width which looks even worse.

It is either the text field or the main Jomla template. But wouldnt a text field display based on the col and rows I defined in the back end?

I am using the RocketTheme Quantive Template and their Gantry layout system.

attached is an image
(had to blur a few fields out..trade secret,lol)

suggestions?

durn frustrating I tell ya.

when you mention

[code:1]
.cbUserListFT_cb_textarea {

width: 100px;

}[/code:1]


I can define which areas should wrap?
since it will be field specific
ie: .cbUserListFT_cb_MYcbfieldname


I did notice that it does expand to the full width on the profiles as well but it is not an issue as it fills in the allotted space.

This field gets displayed in the userlists as well as the profiles.

by adding the code to the css, will it resize it on the userslists as well as in the profiles?

If so it may cause undesirable effect on the way it displays on the profiles. Can it be applied to a delimiter field as well?

Could I just add a delimiter field of the original text field and display that in the userlists instead.

I added this to my template.css near the userlists area

[code:1].cbUserListFT_cb_maindescription {
width: 100px;
}[/code:1]

cleared cache/ refresh

no change..?

In the css files what does FT mean?


example:

table#cbUserTable td
table#cbUserTable th

.cbUserListFT (field title maybe...idk?)
