New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

Length of string, or width of field?
You can't control the length of the string, as that's done in PHP and we're dnot about to add YAFO (Yet Another Option) to the filters to control that.
If no CSS is set to control it (which there isn't for filter dropdowns) the width of the field is set by HTML itself, to the longest string in the dropdown.
You should be able to control this yourself with a custom_css.php (see the wiki if you don't know how to add a custom CSS to a template), and add something like:
If you only want to apply it to certain filters, you'll to to modify that to use a #id rather than tag.class selector. Inspect your page to work out what the ID of the specific filter is.
