In my custom profile area I have a text area field for "About Me". I need this to be unlimited size and display a large area for the members to include their details when editing their profile.
The area displays correctly when just viewing the the profile, the issue is only during edit
I have adjusted the size in the configuration area for this field but it still only shows a small area in the edit profile (see image).
I am using my site template and the default Jomsocial template. I have checked out the posts on the forum and the only one that refers to this issue assumes a different template

Hi Arthur.

You can edit size of those fields by editing file /components/com_community/templates/default/css/style.dark.css look for divs "#community-wrap input, #community-wrap textarea, #community-wrap .uneditable-input" and your desired high and width.

Thanks for that, if I edit the width & height as suggested it affects all the fields, I only want to adjust the text area field for "About Me".
Also the field is limited to X number of characters and I need this to be unlimited as some histories will be quite long
Thanks

Hi Arthur.

Unfortunately I don't know how to achieve that, probably you'll need some css/php developer for this task.

Hi, I have resolved the visible size of the texarea box in the main template CSS however I can't find where to reset the feld length that is currently restricted to 200 characters.
This is the piece of script I believe needs to be modified but I can't find it. I want to make the field accept a minimum of 1000 characters or be unlimited.
