Editing Blog Component

i realy need to rearange the message list (see screenshot) ... wher for inst. subject (onderwerp) goes on one line, the other info below it. No need of the <thead>.

As you can see, the table doesn't even fit in the main column and the subject jumps over 5 lines, word by word almost. It even gets stripped aftr X number of charakters, not being able to read the entire question. I have approved designs that needs to be translated, at least more or less, in the forum layout

    Hi kbulens ,

     

    There is a settings in the backend controls how many characters got display in the layout. the text will just get truncated if the subject string is > X characters.

     

    I tried to search admin, it seems that the setting is not exposed to any tabs.

     

    The fastest way is to log a ticket with Support (if your community is live), or ask your PS contact (if community is under development) to increase a setting called "layout.truncate_length.message_subject".

     

    Of course, you are always welcome to submit a idea to add such a configurable setting in admin, I will kudo it.

      thx for the reply sunny_mody, i know. I’ve hidden already a couple of cells as well using css. What i realy want to do is have the subject on one complete line, using rowspan’s & colspan’s or sth else. But this i cannot do using css. If this is not possible … i can only ask :)

       

      The questions text get’s cut off after x number of charakters … that’s not realy a desirable behaviour … looked around in the admin & studio section, but i can’t find where to turn it off.
