Changing a textbox to a textarea

[Emil Eriksen]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to change the "Transit time"-textbox in the carrier creation wizard to a textarea using overrides. The files I'm working with are "AdminCarrierWizardController.php" and "Carrier.php". So far I've managed to change the textbox to a textarea with the visual editor but the issue is that my input isn't saved. If i change the text from "x" to "xx" nothing happens and transit time still shows as "x". I've made the following changes to AdminCarrierWizardController.php:

From

					array(
						'type' => 'text',
						'label' => $this->l('Transit time:'),
						'name' => 'delay',
						'lang' => true,
						'required' => true,
						'size' => 41,
						'maxlength' => 128,
						'desc' => $this->l('Estimated delivery time will be displayed during checkout.')
					),

To

					array(
						'type' => 'textarea',
						'label' => $this->l('Transit time:'),
						'name' => 'delay',
						'autoload_rte' => true,
						'lang' => true,
						'rows' => 5,
						'cols' => 40,
						'required' => true,
						'size' => 41,
						'desc' => $this->l('Estimated delivery time will be displayed during checkout.')
					),

I've made the following changes to Carrier.php:

From

			/* Lang fields */
			'delay' => 					array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 128),

To

			/* Lang fields */
			'delay' => 					array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'required' => true),

No one? I would imagine this would be easy to solve for a more experienced developer.

Thank you but this is what I've done already After changing it to a textarea saving doesn't work - no changes take effect when I try to edit the transit time textarea.

 

I've cut the code snippets in the OP to better show the changes I've made.
