How to limit the customization field size to one single line of 20 characters [SOLVED]

[patrmich]

Hello,

I am using Prestashop 1.5.6.2.

In product.tpl is the following line :

 

<textarea name="textField{$field.id_customization_field}" id="textField{$customizationField}" rows="1" cols="40" class="customization_block_input">{if isset($textFields.$key)}{$textFields.$key|stripslashes}{/if}</textarea>

How would it be possible to do it ?

Thank you in advance for any reply.

Patrick

Hello,

I am replying to my own question.

I just added the following in one line of the product.tpl file : maxlength="20"

In product.tpl, replace :

<textarea name="textField{$field.id_customization_field}" id="textField{$customizationField}" rows="1" cols="40" class="customization_block_input">{if isset($textFields.$key)}{$textFields.$key|stripslashes}{/if}
</textarea>

by

<textarea maxlength="20" name="textField{$field.id_customization_field}" id="textField{$customizationField}" rows="1" cols="40" class="customization_block_input">{if isset($textFields.$key)}{$textFields.$key|stripslashes}{/if}
</textarea>

I am using version 1.6.12, bootstrap theme

If anyone knows how to convert the same customisation text area to a drop down menu and for it still to work, that would be magic.

<SELECT>
<OPTION SELECTED>blue embroidery
<OPTION>red embroidery
<OPTION>green embroidery
</SELECT>

If I just do it as above, I get an error message saying that I have not filled-in all the form fields. The reason for not using attributes is to save linking this to stock.
