Product Options Custom Field Dropbox Plugin (Updated)

[PRO]

Bonus question:
Does anyone know why there is a limit on the number of characters I can put in the attributes on the product level?

It works fine to add inf number of characters in the custom field but when I try to change them on the product level I can only remove characters until I'm below certain number.

how many characters?

Sounds really good. How might I download your plugin, please.

If I click on the attachment at the top of the first post in this thread, It links to the same page, rather than to a file.

After going to the Product edit page and removing "0" value from the custom field, it is still showing the same label after the field.

Please advice something!!!

255

. . . not sure where it is set though

If you want to use more then 255 characters, (i know its not the best way) you can edit the file: administrator/com_virtuemart/views/product/tmpl/product_edit_custom.php

in line 136 change

<?php echo  $tables['customPlugins'];?>

to

<?php //echo  $tables['customPlugins'];?>
$output = str_replace("maxlength=\"255\"","",$tables['customPlugins']);
echo $output;

after that, go to you Database. Open your Table "prefix_virtuemart_customs" and change the type of "custom_value" to text.

Now you can use nearly endless amount of characters.

its not custom_value

Its

custom_param   that the data is held in

and we do not support hacks to the core!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have clicked on all of the links in the first post, and none of them download a file - the link with an 'attachment' paper clip logo links to the page I am already on!

I've tried everything and I just can't find the plugin.

I have looked at the webpage, with screenshots, which describes how to works, and this is exactly what I need - any suggestions , please?

sorry, i just wanna help... 

[mike_9000]

All installed and working now - and exactly what I need. Thanks for the work you have put in to this - and to the guy who provided the link.

Two people have already suggested making selections mandatory, and I would like to add my vote to that. At present, it's possible that the customer will overlook the selection box and accidentally order the default item rather than the variation they want. Ideally, the default would be 'Select' and they would have to change this to one of the options before they could move on.
