Hello @Codencode ,

Thank you for your PR, ^^
I tested the pr but the field I have is not the same as the one on the photo. Is this normal?

Thank you ^^

Hello @SiraDIOP,

No, it’s not normal. There could be 2 issues:

1. You didn’t apply the PR correctly.
2. You didn’t recompile the templates.

Case 1

Check that the new instructions found here are present in the file themes/hummingbird/templates/_partials/form-fields.tpl:
https://github.com/PrestaShop/hummingbird/pull/698/files

Case 2
In Admin > Advanced Parameters > Performance, make sure that Template compilation is not set to Never recompile template files. If it is, you need to clear the cache (use the Clear cache button on the same page).

Hello @Codencode,

So I'll explain how I did it and you can tell me if I missed anything ^^

First, I put this command line in my terminal

nvm use 20
cd themes
git clone https://github.com/PrestaShop/hummingbird.git
cd hummingbird
git prc origin 698 dev
npm ci
cd webpack
nano .env-example

Then I put this

npm run build
install hummingbird in BO

Then I reinstalled my shop and went to module and installed the zip idea_38591.zip

Did i miss anything?

Thanks in advance ^^

Hello @SiraDIOP,
I'm not very experienced with Linux shell, but I believe there might be an issue with this line:

git prc origin 698 dev

However, to make sure the PR was properly imported, you just need to verify that in the file themes/hummingbird/templates/_partials/form-fields.tpl
you can find the instruction:

{elseif $field.type === 'textarea'}

at line 158.

Hello @Codencode,

Thanks for the PR,
I hadn't installed the PR correctly, but it's fine now.

Everything is ok for me :)

Thanks
