Modify Settings > Add/Edit Entries Options > Allow Icons in Entries ($vba_options[dyna_entry_icons]). Upon adding/editing an entry, the user can still select an icon to go along with the entry, even though it does not show up in the viewing parts. I dont think i'm missing a permission for this one?


Also, is it possible to modify the default 'message' window to be labeled as something else, and shrunk to a smaller size (or is this a template mod?). (EDIT: I have modified this through the template). I have removed the WYSWYG control (Enable Editors = Disable Controls) from the page, and now I have a very tall textarea box that I need only be about 3 rows high. I noticed within the textarea code that it has style="width: and height attributes. Unfortunately, this message area ($messagearea I believe) is called from another template... which is used for the main forums as well. Is there a way I can override this just for the exact instance of vbadvanced?

Perhaps a feature/setting for your next release is to not require the add/edit pages to use the messagearea. I had another idea I wanted to use dynamics for but that inclusion of the default message area is becoming a pain in the keister.

Personally, I think there should be enough settings (to truly make this dynamics dynamic) to disable every default form element, and add our own stuff (message, title, icons ( i see setting but not working right now), the additional options area as well. Just a suggestion!! This really is a versatile product, and i think these small changes would help make its name more of a reality!!

If the 'Allow Icons in Entries' setting is disabled then that *should* prevent the icons from being displayed when submitting an entry. I've tried to reproduce the problem here, but didn't have any problems. If you'd like to submit a support ticket via the Members' Area here though I'll be glad to take a look at things for you.

I cannot seem to submit a ticket. I keep getting the error message ('please select a topic'). This message is coming from the 3rd page where my site information is collected and i hit submit.

Anyways, I did notice that the html output for the DIV tag is <div style="display:"> as it is missing the value.

Also, any tips on resizing the message area box?
