Default Problem with Input Field type - must restrict chars...

This product attribute feature is a great option, we are very happy with this feature as it allows us to offer more variety with the products we sell.

I'm faced with two issues that I'm hoping someone can help me out with. We run a site that sells products that are embroidered. They choose a design option, then enter their name.

1) The input field supports unlimited characters (255) and certain of our products have a limit of 8 characters, others 10, 12, etc... Anyone know how we can fix this to restrict character sizing and to display this beside the actual input field so that they know?

2) When a user enters an input field and we have multiple input fields (front crest, back, sleeve, etc...) it is only showing the input field in the cart, it's not showing the associated name that corresponds with the input field. Example: Name: Christopher (in the cart, it's showing : Christopher, so when we get the order, we are not sure if this is the Name on the crest, sleeve, etc...)

Does anyone have a solution or know of a fix or able to make some type of fix for this problem? It's rather urgent, so your help is GREATLY appreciated. We are willing to pay to get this fixed if it can be done ASAP!

Are you using/looking at:

Product Attributes - Option Type Feature
Quote:
This contribution specifically adds the ability to display options with text input boxes. This allows a store owner to collect customization/personalization information for a product from the end user. The contribution is written in such a way that the addition of other option types such as Radio Buttons should be reasonably simple to add.
This was just like what you need

I'm using the one that I downloaded from this ur: http://oscdox.com/index.php?name=PNp...pic&t=1907

It is like what I'm looking for, but there is NO way or restricting the # of characters that a user can input (like on the site, let's say the product allows 8 characters, we need to be able to enforce it) and when the user add's the item to the cart, it just shows ": inputedname" this needs to show (name: inputedname).

Any help/suggestions is appreciated. Like I stated above, this is URGENT!!!

Normally the size of a certain input field is controlled by the database. I mean you can enter 255 characters maybe on a line but the database will only save what its set for on that particular field. I think what you could do is have the database only store a max of 15 characters. Then in your code...actually this is oging to be rather confusing me trying to type it out. If you want you can get back to me.
As for your second problem that might have to be some minor additions to the code as well. As i said if u want get back to me. jgarnhum@ns.sympatico.ca
