js for showing #whats-new-options on textarea focus has wrong value

[dcavins]

In this bit of global.js:

/* Textarea focus */

jq('#whats-new').focus( function(){

jq("#whats-new-options").animate({height:'40px'});
jq("form#whats-new-form textarea").animate({height:'50px'});
jq("#aw-whats-new-submit").prop("disabled", false);

});

The .animate({height:'40px'}); value needs to be more like 60px. I'm on a Mac, and if the submit button and the "Post in" drop-down both need to show, 40px is too short. See attached image.

The JS is applicable to the bp-default theme.

Are you using a custom theme? Or are you using bp-default on a mobile device by chance?

I'm using a TwentyEleven child theme install. I haven't had to modify the bp-default theming—it works really well out-of-the-box. Using Firebug, I can verify that the css for all the elements, including text size, in this area is coming from bp-default.

This is on a desktop browser.

BTW, I'm amazed at how well WP/BP+child theming work together.

Since this issue is applicable to your TwentyEleven child theme, I'd recommend rolling your own JS and using ​unbind().

Then you could set your own dimensions for the "What's New" auto-expander.

At the end of the day, BP-Default's javascript is built for BP-Default. You're going to have to customise this in your theme; r-a-y suggests one approach. We're working towards not having so much useful stuff in the core theme, i.e. we might do something like a common javascript file.

I think your future plan is a good one; splitting some of the pieces out so BP isn't so monolithic would make it easier to customize.
Thanks!
