In regards to the current state of SBA, when it seemed like it was ready to go, it was realized that ZC 1.5.4 was just around the corner and that to ensure the continued functionality of SBA, that it needed to be updated to support the newest version ahead of providing backwards compatibility.

Short part about that, there are features and options in SBA 1.5.4 that are not yet a part of SBA 1.5.3. This includes direct incorporation of the Dynamic Dropdowns plugin as part of the code. So no, the issue(s) you have with SBA 1.5.3 are not "your doing". :)

As to the modifiction of the attributes field, that I believe is a separate issue that personally would have to look up info on to help, though would think someone else may come along with the answer before I do. :)
Well, I very much appreciate not only Zen Cart itself, but all the work people have done to make plugins and templates for it. It's always been my opinion that if it doesn't work perfectly, or have some certain functionality that you need, hey, chill out, it didn't cost you a nickle... I just saw the reference to the Dynamic Dropdowns choice in the Configuration choice list, which I do not have in my installation which seemed to be the same versions as others so I figured I screwed up in installing part of it. When I first set it up, I was in a wicked hurry and (yes, I know, extremely stupidly) used the default green template as is, so on occasion files go to the wrong place despite my best efforts to change the file path to fit my (lame) setup. (A friend told me I should have been beaten soundly for a: not reading enough about it and seeing the many posts saying NOT to do exactly what I did, and b: not fixing it immediately when it was pointed out to me. ;) )

My issue is, though, that when you set up an attribute, you see 32 and 32 in size columns supposedly to be able to adjust the size of the input and the length of text truncation. I have changed those settings, but the change has no effect on what is actually displayed on the site so again, I thought I may have installed something incorrectly since in my search (although the search engine for Zen Cart leaves something to be desired) I found nothing indicating others had had that issue.
