Hi all,

A long-standing issue I've had with the EditArea in web2py's Admin
interface is the default font size. I don't have the best eyes, and so
in Firefox I set the minimum font size to be 12. The default font size
for EditArea is 10. As a result, Firefox ends up garbling the code in
EditArea. This required me to manually change the font size every time
I reloaded an editing page.

I'm not the only one with a similar problem. Here's an old discussion
on the issue from the Gluon days:
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/8bb6718600ad886/db2f0c855daba4aa?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=font#

Today I figured out how to fix the issue. The fix for this is to edit
the following file:
web2py/applications/admin/views/default/edit.html

Find these lines of code:
editAreaLoader.init({id: "body",start_highlight: true,allow_resize:
"both",allow_toggle: true,language: "en",syntax:
"{{=filetype}}",replace_tab_by_spaces: 4});

And just add a few extra settings:
editAreaLoader.init({id: "body",start_highlight: true,allow_resize:
"both",allow_toggle: true,language: "en",syntax:
"{{=filetype}}",replace_tab_by_spaces: 4, font_size: 12, fullscreen:
false});

The full list of parameters is available here:

What I'd like to do is for users to be able to set the defaults in
some kind of initialization file for the Admin interface. This kind of
init file could be generally useful for things other than EditArea
too. There doesn't seem to be any init file at the moment though.

Does anyone else think this is a good idea?  Are there any other
default settings that should be moved into a user-editable init file?
Are there any objections to adding an init file to the Admin
interface?


Sincerely,

--Jonathan
