How to change a topic title field from text to textarea?

[@peter-hamilton Participant 9 years, 10 months ago]

What would be the purpose?….really long titles will only look bad on site and have little to no SEO purpose I think.

Hi, Peter thx for a response!

The purpose is the issue of the forum. It is a discussion forum about haiku. If you don´t know them: little poems written usually in 3 lines. To display them as topic I need a textarea field for the 3 lines. Meanwhile I have a solution for the entry title and could substitute in the form-topic.php the input label as textarea. To display it with line breaks I use the css white-space tag. But there is still one problem I can not solve by css-rule, if you are common with that, perhaps you have a hint for me. You can se that:

Here the entry-title is displayed corect with line breaks:

but in the topic-list view I cant find the correct css rule to make the breaks correct:

@merlien84

you should tell your users to display the title of the haiku as the topic title while the content be the actual haiku.
