Text Box Attributes

[Darren Park]

Hi,

I hope that somebody can help.

I need to be able to display a text attribute so that it appears as a multiline text box and not just a single scrollable text field.

Does anybody know how I might go about doing this please ?

Thanks

I would go find the Option Name in the Option Name Manager and hit the EDIT button for additional settings ... and then set the number of ROWS that you want and the MAXIMUM number of characters the customer may use ...

Thanks for that it is appreciated.

Don't you find it really annoying when the answer is staring you in the face

Actually we try to hide these things as best we can and mess with your minds ...

The goal is to make them appear obvious once you find them so you wind up feeling like a total dork and we get a good chuckle for the day ...

Or you can think of it as ... that is a heck of an Admin with lots and lots of stuff and you just never know what you might find behind door number three ...

Hi Linda I have been a long time fan of your old cart and have used it for quite awhile the Shoppe Enhancement Controller one that is. I have a question though this zen cart wont let you edit the attributes admin side. In other words if customer orders something with text and mis spells it you cant edit it unless you go into the database in orders_products_attributes and manually edit it. I guess this is a small set back but this was a nice feature of SEC. Is there a way to Mod this without breaking something.
Thanks for your great work I cant thank you enough Randy

We are working to develop Zen Cart further and further with more features and ease of use with each release ...

Editing orders is on the list of fun things to do ... just not there yet ...

There are add-ons, but I am not sure off hand how flexible they are with attributes either on the orders ...

I've done this, and gotten a nice 6-row text box, but when you type, you still just get one endless scrollable line of text (well, 300 characters, as that's my max) on the first row, despite having increased the row number. Any more suggestions?

Have you an URL to this product that we can perhaps peek at to see what is happening?

Well, the zen-cart fairy came and magically fixed it.... thanks!!!
