Resizing Widgets
Hi,
I'm new to Wild Apricot and am using Widgets to add functionality into my business site. I'm close to getting ready to launch soon. I cannot figure out how to resize or change the background color using the widgets codes.
Here is my website where you can see the black background and the widget doesn't fill nearly enough of the available space. I don't want people to have to scroll through the information.

http://www.minglesingles.com/event-calendar.html
I tried doing the resizing using the following http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Changing+the+widget+width but nothing changed so I'm at a loss of how to use this. Any…

Moving Login in theme?
I have tried a couple of methods to move the login but I think I am over thinking it all.
On our page (aibl.org) the login/logout info was at the top right had (per that theme). I changed it but now I just have a link to login. Users want to be able to login/logout the same way they did when is was at the top. Anyone know how I can place the default login/logout where I have that simple link on the left under my menu?

Is this possible?
Hi everyone,
My client has engaged a designer to produce a design for her WA site, however it looks beyond my ability to customise Wild Apricot.
I'll be doing all the events/membership stuff in the engine room, plus I could do simple modifications to a WA theme.
They originally designed it to be used for a Wordpress site, but I'm not sure it can be easily incorporated into a Wild Apricot modified theme?
I've attached a screenshot link below.

The original graphics are in a psd file.
If its not easy to do, I'd like to find someone…

Preventing the header image from repeating on the Granite theme
The Granite theme will repeat the header image horizontally by default. Although this is useful for tiled images, it does not look nice for single header images.
Add this CSS to Settings > CSS Customization to disable the horizontal repeat: #idHeaderContainer .d1 .d2 { background-repeat: no-repeat; }

Thanks

Submenu width too narrow - truncating type
I'm using Starlight Granite theme, originally a liquid layout. I've changed the theme to a fixed width layout, to preserve size and placement of images on home page.
However, the submenus are not wide enough to fit all my type. According to WA support, there was a bug, and they sent me a piece of CSS code, which did not work, due to my adjusting the theme from liquid to fixed.
So I'm reaching out to the user community, especially those CSS experts, to determine if I can set my submenus to a wider width, and still retain my fixed…

Limiting the size of the multi-line text field
By default, the multi-line text field has a limit of 3000 characters.
With some Javascript code, this limit can be reduced. The following code will limit the field to 500 characters. Change the boxlength value to set your own limit.
Insert the following code under Settings > Global Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript"> var boxlength = 500; if(document.getElementsByTagName('TEXTAREA')){ var txts = document.getElementsByTagName('TEXTAREA'); for(var i = 0, l = txts.length; i < l; i++) { var func = function() { if(this.value.length > boxlength) { alert('Maximum length exceeded: ' + boxlength); this.value = this.value.substr(0, boxlength); return false; } } txts[i].onkeyup = func; txts[i].onblur =…

Theme override- determining what menu items to show in header
Hi -
I'm using theme overrides and don't want all of the menu items to show in the header.
I'm using the following code right now...
<$Model.Items:
{
<a class="no-underline" href="<$it.Url$>"><div class="header-nav"><$it.Title$></div></a>
}$>
One of the items I don't want to produce and <a> tag for is the home page. Also, if a person is signed in I don't want the Join / Register page to show.
thanks,
Rob

Removing hyperlinks from event gadgets
Trying to figure out how I remove the hyperlink from the event gadget? I want to use the event gadget on home page of my web site so the "next" meeting is always current, but because my web site is not a WA site, I have the gadget in an iframe. My problem is the hyperlink on the event title opens the event in the iframe and I don't want it to do this.
So, I want to either:
remove the hyperlink from the events gadget; or
modify the hyperlink so it goes to a different page
Can anyone help…

IE issues Editing Content
Just finished customizing our website however now we're unable to edit it right with IE. The content areas wont grow, the text is going off the left and right margins, and the green edit window moves depending on how big your resolution is.
It works fine in IE document mode 8+ and with other browsers. However WA seems to default to document mode 7.
Am I missing something here? Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

[CUSTOMIZATION] Chat Box & Video Uploads For Members
It would be nice if my members could upload videos of themselves to their profile page and they've been asking if there's a chat box so that they can chat with other members who are online.
The ability for them to personalize their profile pages with css or html like myspace couldn't hurt neither...
Thanks,
Rob
ps. I love this site so far.

Wild Apricot removes code for social media sharing buttons during "cleaning HTML" process.
Wild Apricot removes code for social media sharing buttons during "cleaning HTML" process. The code that I'm trying to incorporate into my site is as follows (from ShareThis.com):
<span class='st_twitter_large' ></span><span class='st_facebook_large' ></span><span class='st_email_large' ></span><span class='st_sharethis_large' ></span>
Is there any reason why WIld Apricot is trying to get rid of this code?
