Text Box Length on Log-In

[thirtytwo16]

Ok...I have started a few threads here about this issue. Originally, the text boxes on our Log-In page were only 2 characters wide, and we could not change it no matter what.

Members here on these forums let me know that it might be a server issue. I had our hosting tech support dig and dig. They didn't find anything funny with the server, but they were able to make the fields on that page bigger.

They discovered that it was a code issue on includes/function/functions_general.php They went in and changes some stuff to fix the field length.

But now the length of the email field is 468 characters! And I don't know how to fix it...changing variables on the aforementioned page does nothing. I can't figure out where to look. Any ideas on what I can do? I'm desperate.

Please take a look here and let me know what I can do: https://www.dirtragmag.com/merch/ind...ain_page=login

Thanks!....

If memory serves me right I believe that the length is based on the DB settings for that field....
I would start by upgrading to the latest zen cart version ( do a fresh install ).
I see that yo dont have that many products not tooo much customization...so should be a relatively quick procedure....

Thanks, johnny. But that's pretty rough news for me. We've done a lot of customization. And, despite only seeing two products on the cart, there are many more...they're just not live.

Do you know of any other way that we can partially upgrade without too much hassle so we won't lose everythying?

Thanks!

Take a look in your tpl_login_default.php

find this line of code:

<label class="inputLabel" for="login-email-address"><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('email_address', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_CUSTOMERS, 'customers_email_address', '40') . ' id="login-email-address"'); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

A check of the source of the login page shows that the highlighted portion is currently set at 431 this is causing the excesive length.

Do the same for:
tpl_modules_create_account.php

<legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_LOGIN_DETAILS; ?></legend>
<label class="inputLabel" for="email-address"><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('email_address', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_CUSTOMERS, 'customers_email_address', '40') . ' id="email-address"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>

Thanks, Clyde! I saw the same thing when I viewed the code of the page in a browser, too. But that's the thing...I see it in there, but not on the actual tpl pages. But here's my path to the pages I'm looking at on my FTP server. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

zen_directory/includes/templates/templates_default/templates/tpl_create_account_default.php

zen_directory/includes/templates/templates_default/templates/tpl_login_default.php

Thanks!

Just a small note to let you know that during an upgrade you shouldn't lose any data whatsoever. I had one of what I thought the most heavily modified Zen Carts out there and I made it through a large upgrade. I had a few minor template issues but I hammered those out in about 30 mins.

Just back up your data and test everything out before you go live. It'll be worth it in the long run.
