Hello, my client would like a larger window to add / edit the product description in the back-end - is this possible?

I've looked at the page ... administrator/components/com_hikashop/views/product/tmpl/form.php and can see that the div class is set to <div class="hk-container-fluid">. Can I change this to make the display look different?

Thanks

Hi,
Yes that's the file where you want to change that. However, it's better to do it with a view override via the menu Display>Views.
You'll want to change the line:

<div class="hkc-xl-4 hkc-lg-6 hikashop_product_block hikashop_product_edit_description"><div>
For example, you could set the hkc-xl-4 to hkc-xl-8
And the line:
<?php echo $this->editor->display(); ?>
which you could replace by something like that:
<?php echo $this->editor->width = 1100; $this->editor->display(); ?>
where 1100 is the width in px that you want for the editor.

Thanks Nicolas, I've found a suitable width using the div class. The code you suggested below that causes the contents to be replaced with whatever the width is, but anyway, this is not needed.

Is there a way to adjust the height of the description box?

Hello,

Same code as previously but "height" instead of "width".

I tried this, but as I said above, whatever value I enter into this part of the code replaces the product text in the back-end?

Hello,

Sorry, but can you detail what you mean by "replaces the product text in the back-end" because we aren't sure to understand you well, use screenshot or code sample and describe results please.

Sorry for this return and awaiting news from you.
Regards

Hello, so this is the code I'm implementing in the form.php page;

<?php echo $this->editor->width = 1100; $this->editor->display(); ?>

This results in the following display in the product editor page;

Hi,

Sorry, the code I gave is wrong.
It should be:

<?php $this->editor->width = 1100; echo $this->editor->display(); ?>
