front page questions

[brynn]

I'm not sure what editor you mean, to turn off?

But if I put it in more than one block, won't it look weird?  There would be a gap in between the blocks, right?

Yeah, I'm a little nervous messing with the database too.

Brynn, click the Tinyportal tab, then the settings icon with the pen on it. 

You should see a setting, Use the WYSIWYG editor?:  Set it to No. and save.

Then go back to your article and click edit.  Grab the contents and paste it into your block. Save.

I never experienced problems after changing the database field to Longtext.
This is also the setting for the article body.

Brynn, if you want to change it. you have to select Structure

Oh ok.  No, I don't have the wysiwyg editor enabled.  It has so many "issues", I decided not to use it

But when I look at the smf_tp_articles database, it does say "longtext" for the body.  So that explains why it works for the article, but not the front page.

I'm almost there, to edit the...table, or I guess that's a row?  I'm just not sure whether I click Change button first, or if I edit first, and click Change to take effect.

Let's see...

I think I got it.  Now I'll try the front page again....

[wildenborch]

and it looks good!

[lurkalot]

Looks good to me too.

Brynn,

Just to let you know that I have removed your text from my rodebaert site.

[brynn]

Ah-HA !!  I got it!

Now the next question is how much more can I add to that page, before I run into the same problem again?  That's the whole reason I wanted to do this now, because I'm just about to start adding more contents.

Oh, that stackoverflow article says up to 4 gb.  So that should be plenty of room.  Right now...well, at least Windows Explorer says it's approx 100 kb.  So I think I'll be ok.

Thanks for all the hand holding, friends!  Much appreciated!

Oh, well there is one little issue.  Can you notice there's a light blue or bluish-gray border around the page.  That must be a padding value somewhere, right?  I wonder if I could adjust that?

See the screenshot, I circled the area in red, just to be clear what I mean.

Does that include the new wysiwyg editor in the latest release?
