Hi !
I'm using VB v3.5.4.
I have a problem, sometimes members at my site has difficulty "copy and paste" with stuff in the codebox when it scrolls.
Now, i know if I remove that "overflow:auto" from the "bbcode_code" template bit, it won't scroll.
However, if the content is long (without breaks) it stretches out the box
and the page looks un-tidy.
I was wondering, is there a way for the pasted content to instead of scrolling or stretching out, to be somehow "autofitted" within a set parameter ?
(downwards then offcourse)
If I remember right, that is how it works on the IPB board, thanks

There's a piece of code which allows you to copy the content of a code/php/quote/etc box by the click of a button, but it only works for IE and maybe Opera.

If you want I can dig that up for you.

Thanks for the tip, I think i've seen that on some phpbb board earlier.
It's good if you want to copy the whole content, but not for those one liners..
I guess what i'm looking for is a simple setting in the html that won't allow
for the box to stretch, but instead pushes the pasted content down wards.
(back to html school for me :p )

So, you basicly want the height to adjust to the content without using scrollbars?

also i have this error where quote,code,html,php and anything else which i havn't added but uses boxes:

ane known way to adjust it?

Exactly.
Normally if you have a long "one liner", it would activate the horizontal
scrollbar.
But what I want instead, is to the one line to be cut after X amount of characters and the leftover to be transferred to the next line, and so on.
Thus, horizontal scrollbar eliminated.

If the content is long, offcourse the vertical scrollbar would be activated.
The good thing is, that can be controlled from the admin panel's
bbcode settings.(default 30 lines)

Ah right, I thought you were talking about the vertical line.

You can simply edit it in the style manager. Go to All Style Options and search for Code Block Width (pixels). Set that to something like 600px (640px is the default).

I'm sorry but changing that setting only affects the with before a scrollbar is
inserted.
setting it to 600px cuts the line even shorter, and then horizontal scrollbar.

Horizontal scrollbar is this right: <...................>


And this would be vertical:

Well, from what I understood from the instructions is that it doesn't insert a bar if you set it to the default value (640px). I'm not quite sure myself though.

It will insert a horizontal scrollbar if the pasted content is longer than 640px.
It's this in the (bbcode_code) that does it:
Full code is:
I think the simplest thing to do is to simply set the "640px" setting to auto.
The box will be stretched out, but that's not a big problem.
Thanks for helping everyone !
