What is the correct syntax to alter the size of the comment form body text area? I can't for the life of me find it in devel dpm.
$form['comment_body']....something....

You can use the #rows and #cols properties to define the height and width respectively:
$form['comment_body'][LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['#rows'] = 10;
$form['comment_body'][LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['#cols'] = 50;

I was looking for the size. That makes sense. I got the rows to work with $form['comment_body']['und'][0]['#rows'] = 10; but the columns I cant get to work. I have tried $form['comment_body']['und'][0]['#columns'][0] = 20; and $form['comment_body']['und'][0]['#columns'] = 20; Commented Jun 1, 2012 at 23:01

It's
#cols, not#columns, it should probably be$form['comment_body']['und'][0]['#cols'] = 20;– Clive ♦Commented Jun 1, 2012 at 23:03 -
That doesn't work. comment_body > und > 0 > #cols is not there. #rows is there, but not #cols. #cols is at comment_body > #cols, and it doesn't work Commented Jun 1, 2012 at 23:09

It's probably a CSS issue, if you look in the markup you'll see the
colsattribute on the<textarea>element. Try adding.form-textarea-wrapper textarea { width: auto; }to your stylesheet, that'll override thewidth: 100%set in the system CSS files. If you've got a WYSIWYG editor on the comment body this probably won't work, as they tend to fill the width of their container– Clive ♦Commented Jun 1, 2012 at 23:15 -
