Attributes formatting

[Ajeh]

NOTE: There are two methods of Text attributes ...

On the Option Names Manager ...

Setup the Option Names for text input such as:
Option Name: First Name
Option Type: TEXT
Sort Order: 10

Option Name: Second Name
Option Type: TEXT
Sort Order: 20

etc. etc.

If you need one of these to be more or less a note or letter ... AFTER you create it in the method above, Edit it ...

There are additional options when you Edit to set:
Rows, Display Size and Max Length are for Text Attributes Only:

These would let you set a TEXT input to a TEXTAREA so that you could make it, for example, 10 Rows high and allow 500 characters ...

That is in your stylesheet ... you might post an URL to that product and someone can look at what needs changing ...

OK
I have been working on this all day and have worked it out (i think).

If anyone wishes to remove bullets, option names and hyphens from the shopping_cart and back office order check below, ps: i did not remove them from invoices and packing slips, if you need to do that youll need to investigate a little.

This fix works ok for me, I'm no expert, if you want to use it thats great but it would be good for an expert to look at it first .

here is what i did.


To remove bullets hyphens and title (option name) from text attributes.

If you remove the bullets (<li> "list item" ) the list format will be lost so replace it with a transparent image.

Create a new class in (your_template/css/stylesheet .css) file using a 1x1 transparent image to replace the standard bullet.

.bully {
list-style-position: inside;
list-style-image: url(http://yourdomain.com/images/bully.gif);
}

ADMIN/orders.php ( for some reason the override won't work on this file ie: admin/your_template orders.php, so rename the original and make a copy somewhere and also

keep a copy of your changed file as well in case of upgrades)

CHANGE:
echo '<br /><nobr><small>&nbsp;<i> - ' . $order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['option'] . ': ' . nl2br($order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['value']);

As i said im no expert so treat this as a
