Setting Character Limit

[solarguy]

I have a store that personalizes things. In one of the fields in the store, a customer has a character limit for small items such as a ring for example.

I’m having to call lots of customers back because they don’t realize they go over the character limit!

How can I fix this? Do I change this in phpmyadmin?

Thanks!

to add onto this:

on some products, like a bracelet for example, a customer can choose 1 line, 2 lines or 3 lines.

So when a customer selects 2 lines for example, would there be a way to automatically create 2 fields that say “line 1” and "line 2" that appear underneath? Then if they change the drop down back to 1 line, it will only show 1 box and take the other away. Or if they choose 3 lines, 3 fields will appear underneath, etc.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

When you use the "how many charms" dropdown and pick the number of charms you want, the text boxes drop down underneath that field.

zencart does not (unfortunately) support DEPENDANT attributes (ie: the options offered in attribute "B" depend on what was chosen in attribute "A"),

So, to FIRST select the number of rows, which then presents that number of additional input fields, is not possible.

It is however, possible to restrict TEXT input fields to a certain number of characters.

We do it HERE.

In your case, you would create a separate TEXT attribute for each row, then just make sure you inform your customers that they need to input values into the appropriate rows.

It is also possible to add pricing to the inputs. So you can actually charge for each letter typed in.
