Fields, display text only limited to 100 char

micmor · Jun 21st, 2009, 10:02 AM

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 Smile

.

/Michel

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 Confused

.

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 Smile

(I'll try anyway Smile

)

Thanks again!
