enlarge the option name and option value boxes in Attributes

when you are looking for the option name and option value boxes when assigning attributes to products it gives you 5 lines, is there a way we can increase the height of the option name and option value boxes to like 10 or more? It would be a lot easier to spot, easier on the eyes and faster too.

any help is greatly appreciated :D

thanks
Steve

Re: enlarge the option name and option value boxes in Attributes

Sorry, I do frontend styling, as the admin is older legacy table based code and only the owner sees it.

Maybe another??

Re: enlarge the option name and option value boxes in Attributes

Are you meaning in the Attributes Controller or on the Options Name Manager and Options Values Manager?

Re: enlarge the option name and option value boxes in Attributes

(Ah thank you Zen-master Ajeh, I had given up hope and just lived with it)

When you are assigning attributes to items it gives you two boxes, one for option name and one for option value, these boxes allow you to scroll to select which option name and value, but these boxes aren't very tall, as in you can only see 5 selections at a time, I know you can use the scroll bar to the right of each one, but when you have massive amounts of option values, it is a little hard on the eyes

thanks very much for the help :D

Re: enlarge the option name and option value boxes in Attributes

Re-read this and you might get some advantage by using the "Improved Attributes Controller" 3rd party module available in the downloads section

Re: enlarge the option name and option value boxes in Attributes

this has absolutely nothing to do with the catalog or front end section

in admin -> catalog -> attributes controller

if you scroll down you will see two boxes

one for option name and one for option value

I want those to be taller so more than five choices are visible to me

any help is very much appreciated :D

thank you
Steve

Re: enlarge the option name and option value boxes in Attributes

stevenlee,

Did you even look at the module "Improved Attributes Controller"?

While it does not enlarge the admin box - it does limit the values listed to just those associated with option versus a box with every value created.
