Hi,
I have migrated VM 1 to VM 2 and Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5. Now the custom fields are not beeing migrated.
I have some custom fields like below:
RAL 1000
RAL 1001
RAL 1002
RAL 1003
RAL 1004
etc.
In total there are 1470 characters for one product.
My question is how many characters can i put in the custom fields?
And is it possible to migrate these fields to VM 2?
text: Specify the field size (number of character) maximum 255 characters are allowed also create for field with the same name will be created for the selected modules.
Integer: Specify the field size (digits) Maximum 9 digits,
Decimal: Specify the field size (including decimal places). Maximum 16 digits,
Percent: Specify the field name,
Currency: Specify the field size (Integer). Maximum 16 digits,
Date Format: Date format will be changed according to user's time zone settings.
Text Area :Maximum 3000 characters.
Long Integer Length: Specify the field size (digits) Maximum 18 characters.
I tried a text area but i can put in a maximum of 256 characters.
It seems that there is no solution for many custom fields??? Strange.
Fixed the problem. Searched for hours but found here my solution:

@Token - there is now a solution that solves a lot of the custom field gaps in VirtueMart 2. We posted about it here on the 3rd party extension vendor forum: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=108824.msg364211#msg364211
Next time you are stuck trying to get a VM2 custom field to do what you want, see if maybe embedding a custom form will do the trick!
