formating event description

[simon]

please excuse me if these are obvious questions…
How can I offer the person inputting a community event the same text formatting and paragraph style and link options that i have when inputting new events using wordpress as an admin?
essential these tools https://cloudup.com/cc3bCD129Lo
(i’ve checked the wp custom user settings and it doesnt seem possible from there and yes i understand you can add code for bold, italics etc – but most people entering events will not know how to enter that formatting code. And it’s also very slow. Most will want to cut and paste…
How can i increase the event description box on the input page?
How can i offer them an event contributor a preview of what the event entry will look like once they’ve entered the information? There’s no preview option?
We have many categories, 30+, at the moment they show in one long single entry column, how to turn the long column into 3 or 4 wide column?
Thank you

Hey @simon!

How can I offer the person inputting a community event the same text formatting and paragraph style and link options that i have when inputting new events using wordpress as an admin?

You unfortunately cannot, at this time – this may be generally possible with some code customization, but code customization is not something we can provide support for 🙁

Like the question above, this is unfortunately not possible at this time 🙁

If you mean that you just literally want to make this larger, you can set a custom minimum height value to increase its height by adding CSS like the following to the bottom of your theme’s style.css file:


.events-community-post-content textarea {
min-height: 40px;
}


That’s just an example, of course, but you can use any pixel value you want – play around with that a bit until you find the perfect sizing 🙂

Cheers!
George
