    I would like to increase the height of the pedigree block on our site. As it is now it's to low to show the whole contents. Please look at http://www.dahlenett.org/phpgedview/ to see what I mean. I've tried to find the code for the size of that block, but for what it's worth - I could not find it.

    First question is WHY even have that block available there? Artistically, isn't it a bit of a kludge? This chart was designed with a full width pagination design in mind. Yes, the configuration allows this, but IOHO, its bad presentation.
    Secondly, I thought there were very strict rules about the display of living persons' data for the Scandinavian countries. Are you not exposing to the general public data that should be private?

    +1 on adjusting height.  The code path for this is twisted, so I can't help you at the moment.  I'll look at it again if I get some time.

    As far as width, it works better to move everything out of the right hand column, this leaves one full length column.  See http://paulyfamily.org (bottom of page).

    In blocks/charts.php, there is the line

    require $THEME_DIR.'templates/block_small_temp.php';

    If you change "small" to "main", you should be able to remove the vertical scrollbar.

    Thanks Greg, that's a great spell.

    I'll live with it a while, and if there aren't any serious regressions I'll submit a patch.
