contact owner form

[early +]

I am attempting to change the width of the "contact owner" form, but am having difficulty locating the proper file to edit.

I see (using "view source") that the size attribute I would like to change is currently set to 30.

<td class="formright"> <input name="email" type="text" size="30" value="" />

I have also located the "contactowner.tpl.php file and see that this is in some way controlled by:

<td class="formright"> <input name="name" type="text" size="{$smarty.const.FIELD_SIZE}" value="{$name|escape}" />

This is where I get lost... I am not sure how (or where) to change the "size" of the field to, say, 50 for example.

Thanks in advance for your help!

That file should be templates/default/contact/contactowner.tpl.php or contactus.tpl.php depending on which page you would like.

Thank you for the reply.

I see where the file is located - I am just uncertain as to how to change the value of the input field length (e.g. changing from default of "30" to "50").

Oh sorry.

What would do is find this line:

size="{$smarty.const.FIELD_SIZE}"

and change it to this:

size="50"

Or if you want to change this everywhere you can open the language file and locate:

define("FIELD_SIZE", "30");

Then change 30 to 50. Keep in mind this would global to all fields that use it.
