Is there a way of increasing the amount of text/characters that Actinic allows by default to be entered in this field? I need to add a more text, but Actinic won't allows it.

Thanks

This is detailed on page 63 of the Advanced User Guide which you can download from the main Actinic site

Sorry I meant that text which appears above the text entry box. In Actinic Product Section under the Layout tab, their is a field which allows you to enter the text which will appear above the text entry box. How I can I increase the amount of text I can enter in this box, not the box which the user types in?

Thanks

Use a Custom Property, e.g. go to Advanced / Custom Properties and create one called EXTRAINFO

Now in your Product Template replace NETQUOTEVAR:OTHERINFOPROMPT with

CUSTOMVAR:EXTRAINFO NETQUOTEVAR:OTHERINFOPROMPT

and now whatever you enter into EXTRAINFO in Product Details / Properties will be prepended to the usual Other Info Prompt.

If you need a huge amount of such info then either use more CustomVar's or copy the product template to a new file and hard code the prompt in there, and use it only for these products.

ive followed what you said, but can i do this so that it will only show on certain pruduct pages. The only way i can see is if i was to create a`template for each product that requires alternative text.

If you have followed Normans suggestion it should work - if you don't specify the extra info against the product the field will remain blank (it may possibly leave a small space however) - ensure you specify the customvar against the product and not in the site defaults.
