Thanks, Rogier")* Hi, Why not create a custom field of the table "product" and of the type "wysiwyg" ? That would display a HTML editor on the product edition page automatically for you. With custom coding, it's not that easy to include a HTML editor. You have such code: [ stackoverflow.com/questions/9585595/joom...esnt-load-the-editor](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9585595/joomla-jeditor-display-doesnt-load-the-editor) But then you need extra coding for the variants, handling different type of editors, etc). I would recommend to use just a custom field instead of trying to use your own code.

Thanks, Rogier")* Hi Nicolas, Apologies for the late response. I got it too work. I understand what you are saying. What i did was make a single block for json informatie. So i moved fields around. Otherwise they are all in one column and this way easier to seperate the json fields from the custom fields for the shop.
