Attributes - Max Characters?

[findaprezzie]

When I upload the products in the catalogue is it possible to set the max characters in the attributes section ? For example I want the customers to be able to personalise the product with their name but to the max of 12 characters?

Locate the file /themes/your_theme/product.tpl, towards the very end of the file, around line 520 find the line which reads

 

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

 

and replace it with

 

{if !empty($field.name)}{$field.name}{/if}{if $field.required}<sup>*</sup>{/if}<textarea type="text" name="textField{$field.id_customization_field}" id="textField{$customizationField}" rows="1" cols="40" maxlength="12" class="customization_block_input" />{if isset($textFields.$key)}{$textFields.$key|stripslashes}{/if}</textarea>

 

(we are adding maxlength attribute to textarea element)

 

This is not fool-proof; one can by-pass it either by messing with the form or the submission. A server side check should also be done but in this case it is unlikely anyone will bother.

Make sure it is not a caching effect. If not, then provide a URL where I can see the problem.
