Fields, display text only limited to 100 char - micmor - Jun 21st, 2009
Hi! First of all thank you for a wonderful tool I'm newbie in form tools but can already see the big potential with this tool!
My problem is that in the display text (when editing a form in the Fields tab), I can't write more than 100 char, do you know if there is some configuration I can change, so i can write more text?
My other cuestion is about tabs (in views - edit - tabs), there only are 6 and I would need some more, is this possible?
Thanks in advance!!! and I hope my english is understandable

Hi Michel,
Thanks for the post!
I hate to say it, but it's "no" to both questions... :-( The 100 character is a hardcoded limit - as is the 6 tabs. I originally wanted to allow for any number of tabs, but realistically, 6 was a pretty large number already - there wasn't much room for many more, so I capped it at 6.
Sorry I couldn't be any help.

Thanks for your answer! I tried to tag a <EMBED> in the text field and redirect to another page with text and it's works! but only in IE and Chrome
.About the tabs tried to change the code in views.php but it doesn't worked and later tried to add rows in the DB and it worked! (at least for a while) but i don't know if it's stable to do that ?
It's a very large form about the students status in the differents subjects (and there are about 20!) , do you think that could be a problem if the form is too big or it doesn't matter? (I'll save about 800 forms each 6 months)
The picture I've attached is about 1 subject, not all the subjects are så big as this one. at the moment have done 2 subjects, please tell me if it's worth to going on
(I'll try anyway
)Thanks again!
