i am using suitecrm and i need to change the looks of the list view and in detail view i need scroll bar in some field

For ex:- In detail view i have field notes which is showing on the full screen and it makes the screen size bigger
So i need to show this text in the text area with the scroll bar.
same as in list view i need to change its looks.

All i need to know where can i find files for such modifications

Please i need some help,some guidance.

Could you not use CSS to apply a style that would add the scroll bar to that specific notes field using its id? You would add the CSS rule to custom/themes/default/css/style.css and then do a quick repair and rebuild.

The layout of a view is controlled by the /custom/modules/YOURMODULE/metadata/detailviewdefs.php, editviewdefs and listviewdefs.php files. But you cant really change the look of fields in those files unless you make it a custom code field.

Hello Andy,

Could you not use CSS to apply a style that would add the scroll bar to that specific notes field using its id? You would add the CSS rule to custom/themes/default/css/style.css and then do a quick repair and rebuild.

I did not find any theme folder in custom, but i have tried it with the style.css in parent theme/suiteR/css/style.css

Got no result :frowning: even after quick repair and rebuild

the text in the notes field is in span may be this is the reason that scroll bar is not showing over there

so now i need to change it as textarea.

and as i asked you how and where should i find it in the file structure
