I am using the filelist template in version 3.18.  Is there a way of activating the text box so I can input a description?

A word of caution, I haven't tried what I'm about to describe below and don't have time to at the moment so I can't guarantee that it'll work. I suggest that you make a copy of your filelist template before attempt anything.

If I understand the source code correctly (I haven't stepped through everyline of code) you should be able to take the filelist form.ascx file and add the textbox (and associatted tags) to it. I'd take a look at the form.ascx under default to get the tag information and copy it to wherever you want the textbox to show up in your filelist form.ascx. You'll also have to edit the form.xml and the form.ascx.resx under app_resources in the filelist template directory. Because everything is templated you should be able to set it up however you want it.

Not to contradict Mike .. but ...

Please don't edit the .ascx file. You can do what you need by simply adding the [DESCRIPTION] tag to the form.html file in the filelist template folder.

/DesktopModules/Repository/templates/filelist

Edit the FORM.HTML file, decide where you want the description ( text editor ) to be and insert [DNNLABEL:Description] for the prompt, and [DESCRIPTION] for the text editor.

Then edit the TEMPLATE.HTML file to decide how you want to display the description. If under the filename then add <br>[DESCRIPTION] immediately after the [FILENAME] tag. Finally, you can edit the TEMPLATE.XML file if you want to assign stylesheet classes to the [DESCRIPTION] tag other than the default ( which is "normal" )

Doh, Doh, Doh, Doh. Form.html is what I meant. See what happens when you answer a post when you're at work and can't look at what you're doing.

Yup, worked like a charm - almost.

The guidlines and buttons were not appearing even if I encapsulated the text editor into its own table.  I am using Cute Editor 5.0 so I don't know if this is affects the core's text editor.

The fix was to put a height value in the form.xml and all is well now.
