Purchasing: Store link (Moved & Updated)
Summary:
This modification provides you with a way to restrict the number of characters a customer can input in a text or text field configurable field.
It does this in two ways...
Front-end
Uses HTML.maxlength (text) or Javascript (textarea) to limit the number of characters input into the field.
It also changes the cols/rows values to a more accurately reflect the amount of text available (see known issues)
Back-end:
Checks the limits and the data input and errors if the character length exceeds the limit (ie: when Javascript has been disabled)
Changelog:
- Now 6.0.11 - 6.1.1 compatible
- MaxChar field now hidden unless a text or textarea configurable field are selected
- Supported installation and self-install options now available
- TEXTAREA field ignores row & column HTML settings due to CSS.. (Purely cosmetic irritation)
