Extend length of external theme input box

Extend length of external theme input box

BMC Quickies

Quickie: Make the site manager a little more user friendly with this quick little code snippet.

The input box for external themes in the site manager has always annoyed me; it's hardly big enough to fit even the smallest of URLs (excluding relative URLs). You may or may not be equally annoyed by this. Either way, here's how to fix it:

#sm-appearance-external-url {
    width: 450px;
}

Add that in a CSS module on your admin:manage page, or in your site's custom CSS, and enjoy the freedom that a larger input box brings.

So a "Quickie" is like a short tutorial?

Yep. I thought I'd try something new. They're going to be tiny little snippets of code with very little explanation. Hopefully this way they will fill the gaps between bigger, more in-depth posts.

I like the idea… but it was 1:30 PM when I read the post. The clock shows 4:00 PM … hardly a "quickie" if it takes that long for me to finish all of the steps in the tutorial! :)

(lame joke)

Maybe it's a stopwatch indicating 4 minutes.
