Make E-mail compose main text window size larger? đź–Ą

👨‍💻 Development Help

Hi guys

I always thought and annoyed me a bit over the E-mail compose windows size is quite small so you always have to drag it down a bit and make it a bit larger in height…

Is there a way to make it larger by default and which code element/file controls this?

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards

modules/Emails/metadata/composeviewdefs.php

or maybe this:

modules/Emails/vardefs.php

        'description_html' => array(
            'name' => 'description_html',
            'type' => 'emailbody',
            'vname' => 'description_html',
            'source' => 'non-db',
            'inline_edit' => false,
        ),

That one seems to be for text fields in the “Studio” builder though.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have look on the code.

Thanks @rsp.
I could increase the height of the editor by the following change.

  1. Created a file at custom/themes/SuiteP/css/Dawn/style.css
  2. Added the following css property as follows
.col-xs-12 .col-sm-8.edit-view-field textarea#description{
	height:320px !important;
}
  1. Quick repair and rebuild.

Any success, did that code tweak work for you? :thinking: :smiley:

Kind regards

Yes it worked. Created the style.css file with the height property. Quick repair and rebuild. It shows the html editor with increased height.

The above CSS will be applied to every description control. So the following CSS applies to just compose email page editor. It sets the default height of the editor.

#ComposeView * textarea#description{
	height:320px !important;
}

Tested myself and indeed!
It works flawlessly. Thanks for sharing @Harshad ! :facepunch:
It is very appreciated.
I think many people here on the SuiteCRM forums will be very happy for this.

Kind regards
