Frontend Add / Edit Events: Additional categories field height was created by Christoph
Hello,
in the frontend event edit screen (form_general.php) the field for selecting multiple categories is very low. It is very difficult to select categories since the form field is only as high as a single line form field.
My quick solution for this would be just to add:
But as usual, it isn't that easy and does not raise the height of the field
It just extends the height around the field.
This is the code section I tried on in form_general.php:
In the backend event edit screen the category selection is fine. This is about the frontend edit screen.
Thank you,
Chris

Code:
<div class="<?php echo $controlGroupClass;?>">
<div class="<?php echo $controlLabelClass; ?>"><?php echo JText::_('EB_ADDITIONAL_CATEGORIES') ; ?></div>
<div class="<?php echo $controlsClass; ?>">
<div style="float: left ; line-height:90px;"><?php echo $this->lists['category_id'] ; ?></div>
<div style="float: left; padding-top: 25px; padding-left: 10px;">Press <strong>Ctrl</strong> to select multiple categories</div>
</div>
</div>
In the backend event edit screen the category selection is fine. This is about the frontend edit screen.
Thank you,
Chris
