    Help!

    I’ve got a database list, and for some reason the list display all of the sudden no longer fits on its page. The website/social media field does not shorten to fit on the page so if participants enter a longer URL, it displays the whole thing. I haven’t changed any settings other than some of the response messages and emails. This problem appeared out of nowhere.

    Please help, it looks very unprofessional right now, and I really need it to look better.

    Well, you need to decide what would look better first.

    Once you know how you want it to look, your options are to either condition the string in a custom template or to use Javascript to adjust the display.

    You can’t force a long string to wrap with CSS alone, so your only option there would be something ugly like hiding the extra length.

    The best approach is to use the custom template, and you’ll need to know a bit about coding PHP to accomplish your modifications. I’ve got an article that gives the basics on how to modify a field using a custom template:

    Thanks for the reply!

    sorry I’m a newbie. Not really familiar with CSS or PHP or coding in general. I’m just wondering why it changed. It looked fine for the first couple of weeks…Why is it different in the first place? It was working before…

    Somebody either didn’t enter a clickable text or they put the full URL in the clickable text box. Since a long string like that doesn’t get broken into lines, it stretched the table cell out.

    You can see that in the facebook link someone entered.
