long string in my box shift the admin section

[hungryfrank 62]

i have made a simple new box and it works with one annoying exception.

i have to put a very long string in one of the fields. this causes the page to shift.

is there a way around this

ok i solved this issue.

here is what i did.

i created a function in my box to display an image when there is data in the field with long string.

then i entered that function in the db as use function.

now when the string is entered the image shows. no longer the ugly shift :lol:

@@hungryfrank,

 

you could use this function in "use function" to shorten the displayed string:

  function shorten_string($text) {
    return substr ($text, 0, 10);
  }
