How can I add [some text and html] to be displayed automaticly in the short and long product description for every new product created?

Seams to me it should be fairly simple to add something:

<textarea name="sDescriptionShort" cols="90" rows="5"> [some text and html] </textarea>

and:

<textarea name="sDescriptionFull" id="sDescriptionFull" rows="20" cols="60" style="width:600px; height:300px;" tabindex="1"> [some text and html] </textarea>

I've been looking at products_form.tpl, but it seams to me that

<textarea name="sDescriptionShort" cols="90" rows="5">$aData[sDescriptionShort]</textarea>

can't be changed?

thatdamnswede - full description load from $sHtmlEditor and from file templates/admin/edit.tpl, check file plugins/edit/htmleditor.php too

So, in effect adding:

<textarea name="sDescriptionShort" cols="90" rows="5">$aData[sDescriptionShort]
<b>M&aring;tt (cm)</b> xxx<br />
<b>Kvalit&eacute;t</b> xxx<br />
<b>Monogram</b> xxx<br />
<b>Beskrivning</b> xxx<br />
</textarea>

to products_form.tpl

and

<textarea name="$aHtmlConfig[sName]" id="$aHtmlConfig[sName]" rows="20" cols="60" style="width:$aHtmlConfig[iW]; height:$aHtmlConfig[iH];" tabindex="1">$aHtmlConfig[sContent]
<b>M&aring;tt (cm)</b> xxx<br />
<b>Kvalit&eacute;t</b> xxx<br />
<b>Monogram</b> xxx<br />
<b>Beskrivning</b> xxx<br />
</textarea>

to edit.tpl

won't break anything?

Seems to be working. Thanks!

No, actually - it doesn't work very well. The text is added to the product every time you save it. So it's easily added several times over and over if you're not careful. I don't think my client can handle that. Is there a way around that?

then try change sDescriptionFull to:

<textarea name="sDescriptionFull" cols="90" rows="5">$aData[sDescriptionFull]
<b>M&aring;tt (cm)</b> xxx<br />
<b>Kvalit&eacute;t</b> xxx<br />
<b>Monogram</b> xxx<br />
<b>Beskrivning</b> xxx<br />
</textarea>
