How? "Extended Body" field open without extra clic

[snafu]

I'm modificating functions_entries_admin.inc.php a bit to have a bullet proof easy backend for people writing stories for a free local newspaper. We need the two fields "Entry Body" and "Extended Body" always open without click at the "plus" button.

I managed to resize the fields to a new dimension, but failed to have the "Extended Body" field always open, when a new entry is written.

I found toggle_extended(setCookie) the right Point for this, but i do not know enough, how to disable this function without collateral damage

any hints are appreciateted!
tnx a lot.

Hi!

Just modify this:

Code: Select all

    if ((!empty($entry['extended']) || !empty($serendipity['COOKIE']['toggle_extended'])) && !$serendipity['wysiwyg']) {
?>
    <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
        toggle_extended();
    </script>
<?php } ?>

to this:

Code: Select all

    <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
        toggle_extended();
    </script>

You were right on track.

Regards,

Thanky you very much, that's it.

I just try to avoid any unnecessary click for my shy users

i added the missing line with

Code: Select all

<?php 

tag in your advisory, to cut only this php part.. (im learning)
