readonly attribute option

Hi:
I'm using v1.3.8.

I've done a lot of searching for this and cannot find one post that answers this.

I need to add some read only text in attributes. However, I find the field limits the length of the text. is this controlled somewhere or do I need to modify the core files? if modification is needed, can you identify the page and perhaps what part of the code needs to change?

Thank you

This is set in the database as the record length for the field you are trying to enter more than allowed . .

Not easy as from the admin

I've tinckered in the db in browse mode, do you happen to know what table I need to look at?

If what I think you are after this would be the either the products_options table and the products_options_name record currently set to 32

or the products_options_values table and the products_options_values_name record currently set to 64

Backup your DB BEFORE doiing any of this

32 and 64 are ample and you may rethink your naming

In case anyone is interested, the correct table is product_option_values. You just need to edit the field called product_option_value_name from varchar(64) to varchar(192).

Kobra is correct, be sure to backup before editing the DB directly.:D

You just need to edit the field called product_option_value_name from varchar(64) to varcharSIZE="4"[/SIZE].
192!!!! You need to learn how to effectively describe in a short fashion - - not write a book!

This is exactly what I was looking for to help add "notes" about various options for my customers. I'm using 1.3.7 and it also worked for me.

Couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thanks!
