I suspect I had problems with the formating, so made it fixed width. My error, I'll try to resolve. As a short term you can edit SelectCategory.ascx where you will see a 150px width set. You can change that to what you need.

Just looking at this some more. We have changed over to using DnnComboxBox because this allows multi-slect categories that people have been asking for for years. However by default, the underlying RadComboBox sets the width to 160px if you don't set on the control. I need to investigate more....

Looks like what you need is EventsList.ascx editing to change the min-width in two places near the top changing to 'width'.


Then the following adding to your theme:-

.Themexxxxxx .RadComboBox_Default {
width: auto !important;
}

OK, I changed the width to 300px and all was well with the categories displaying on one line.

However, when trying to access Edit Settings I got the following error:

A critical error has occurred. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

This is the error from the Event Viewer:

Where do I go from here?

The site is a child site and still under development, so no hurry for an answer.
