How to make Description entry text box larger in Leads and Accounts

[al3]

(Mac, OS X 10.4, Firefox, 5.2.0a)

How can I make the Description text-entry box (in edit) larger for both Leads and Accounts. I use it to keep running logs of phone conversations and actions taken with clients. In Safari there is a corner I can drag (surprised me!) but not in FireFox (Mac). If I have to change code, where is it... what is it... and won't it be wiped out at next upgrade?

Thanks
Al

Hi All

You need to set the attribute

 'displayParams' => array(
  'rows' => 10,
  'cols' => 100,
), 
  

in the description defs on editviewdefs.php
Remember you can change the values for both 'rows' and 'cols' according to your needs.

Cheers

There are a lot of editviewdefs.php files. The one for Leads (/modules/Leads/metadata/editviewdefs.php) does not have an array for "description." Where is the file I need to change?

Thanks,

I tried this but it didn't change anything:

   'lbl_description_information' => 
  array (
    
    array (
      'description',
 
'displayParams' => array(
  'rows' => 20,
  'cols' => 200,
),

Nope. Here is what I have in /htdocs/sugar/modules/Leads/metadata/editviewdefs.php

   'lbl_description_information' => 
  array (
    
    array (
      'description',   
      
//
'displayParams' => array(
  'rows' => 50,
  'cols' => 500,
),  
//
      
    ),
  ),
)
 
 
);
?> 
 

I did the quick repair and still have the same small text entry box for description.

Thanks,

Al
