Other info fields

[matt.c]

I've run into problems trying to implement this as well. But, I think the problems are related to the fact that I made the changes listed in the AUGv7 to change the input from a text field to a textarea. Could you someone point out exactly which portion of the code makes the field not required?

I have currently modified Phase 2161 to:
%s<textarea name="%s" style="width:300px;height:70px;" %d maxlength="%d">%s</textarea>

The other idea I was throwing around was to write a bit of javascript to automatically set this field to 'n/a' if it was left empty. That might actually be a really easy solution to the problem, but I'm not sure how I could get the code to be specific to this section. Maybe I can replace the single add to cart button NETQUOTEVAR with actual code?

Matthew,

Try this:- Edit ActinicOrder.pm and replace

	if (length $sInfo == 0)							# if there is no info, reprompt
		{
		$sMessage .= ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 55, "<B>$sPrompt</B>") . "<P>\n";
		}
	elsif (length $sInfo > 1000)

with

#	if (length $sInfo == 0)							# if there is no info, reprompt
#		{
#		$sMessage .= ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 55, "<B>$sPrompt</B>") . "<P>\n";
#		}
	if (length $sInfo > 1000)

This should work with either the normal Other Info or the TEXTAREA mod.

Fantastic! Thanks very much Norman.

Actually, it was lifted from the Knowledge Base.

Other info input

Nadeem, To pick up on this thread...

I'm working through the making the other info field non-compulsory. This seems to be fine.

Okay you need to edit the ActinicOrder.pm in notepad, Search for 2161 and replace

$sHTML = ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 2161, "", $sIndex, 35, 1000, $sValue, 
$sStyle);

with

# $sHTML = ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 2161, "", $sIndex, 35, 1000, $sValue, $sStyle);
$sHTML = sprintf("%s<INPUT TYPE=text NAME='%s' SIZE='%d' MAXLENGTH='%d' VALUE='%s' %s>","", $sIndex, 35, 1000, $sValue, $sStyle);

Kind Regards

With the default text in -1, 2161 if you change the size variable to an integer it changes the size of the input box. When i apply the patch as above and alter the default text in -1, 2161 to as instructed when i try to do the same it has no effect. How can i, once this patch is applied, change the size of the input box?

Thanks in advance

When patching prompts in Design / Text, do not delete any %s or %d tags. These are format strings for the passed in variables and must remain in the correct number and sequence.

So to change

%s<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="%s" SIZE="%d" MAXLENGTH="%d" VALUE="%s" %s>

to a size of 10 do this

%s<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="%s" SIZE="10" dummy="%d" MAXLENGTH="%d" VALUE="%s" %s>

where the dummy="%d" is benign dummy HTML (unknown tags get ignored) that gobbles up the size variable.

Cheers Norman. Your help is much appreciated!
