textarea size

Is there any way in models.TextField to specify the number
of
rows/columns that the <textarea> uses?

Hi Josh,

Nope, there's no way to specify that in the model, but you
can target
the field's form field using CSS. The textarea will have an
HTML ID
called "id_foo", where "foo" is the
name of your field. You can edit
the admin templates to add custom CSS like this:

    #id_foo { width: 300px; height: 400px; }

Maybe you can change it with CSS.

If you are creating your own manipulator and using that you
can use the
form field LargeTextField where you can specify the row and
columns.

class LargeTextField(TextField):
 	    def __init__(self, field_name, rows=10, cols=40,
is_required=False, validator_list=None, maxlength=None):

Otherwise, css is the best option.

Thanks for the replies - I'm not a big fan of mucking with
the css
or anything in the django source tree so my solution was
close to
this - in models.py I created a subclass of
django.forms.LargeTextField and
django.db.models.fields.LargeTextField:

from django.forms import LargeTextField
from django.db.models.fields import TextField

class MyLargeTextField(LargeTextField):
   def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
      kwargs['rows'] = 3
      kwargs['cols'] = 60
      LargeTextField.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

class MyTextField(TextField):
   def get_manipulator_field_objs(self):
      return [MyLargeTextField]

class SomeData:
   stuff = MyTextField('Some Stuff')

I'm not particularily happy with this either as it'd be
nice to
have the rows/cols be params that can be passed in.
