Changing Tab 1 Editor?

Hi Bob,

I’m not sure if this would require custom development, but is there a way to change the Tab 1 Rich text box (Redactor)


To a Multi-line text box. Like so:


I found this bit of code. Not sure if it is the right one. Not sure if would require a simple edit to change the editor, or advance programing. So I thought I should ask.

Code:

<xen:if is="{$category.tab1_editor}">
            <dl class="ctrlUnit fullWidth">
                <dt>{$category.tab1_name}</dt>
                <dd>{xen:raw $editorTemplate} <p class="explain">{xen:phrase nflj_showcase_editor_desc_tab_1_message}</p></dd>
            </dl>
        </xen:if>                

Thank you.

 

I just prefer the look of the Multi-line text box, that’s all.

That was the first thing I tried. I disabled the Rich Text editor for Tab 1 and created a Custom Item field "Multi-line text box" with the location of Tab 1. The problem is whenever I used to enter any description into Tab 1 (Rich Text editor), a part of it (the first 250 characters) would be visible on List View. Were as now, when I entered some text into Multi-line text box (Custom Item field), the list view description would be blank and only the title would be visible. The description would only visible in tab 1 located on item page. Looks like the item field doesn’t fully replace Tab 1 editor. It’s just a field after all. That’s why I was looking to see if there was an easy way to change the Tab 1 (Rich Text editor) to a Multi-line text box.

Anyway, it’s not a big deal. I can manage without it.

Bob, thank you for your support. I really appreciate it.

 

Sorry to bother you again, @Bob. One last question.

Is there way to change the size of Tab 1 editor (General Information) so that it look exactly like the Quick Reply Editor (the Editor at the bottom of each thread)?

 

Yes, please. I’m comfortable with file edits.

Thank you
