howdy. this module sounds exactly what i require, but i'm missing a trick on how to configure it. i've checked in admin/store/settings/attributes, node/n/edit/attributes, node/n/edit/attributes/add, etc, but can't see any new options. where should i be checking? thanks!

you don't configure it - you just install it and surf to the attributes tab of a product that uses a text field. You'll see two new fields:

* max chars (for maximum character amount a user can type into the form
* numberic (check this to force the field to only accept numeric values

Hope that helps

ah, silly me, thanks :)

although, having to change it for each item is a drag - might it be possible to set the field length for text attributes in their settings? and being able to override that default in each product's attributes?

Excellent idea.. I'm surprised it wasn't put in originally!

Once you install http://drupal.org/project/uc_attribute_length
and set out the length of the char limit for example: 160 in the product attributes.
then Edit file "uc_attribute_length.module" search for "+ 1" this is were you can define how the field will be shown.

You simply replace "+ 1" with this "- 70" and the field will be shown with size with 90.

Of course it is not optimal solution. but it is your choice.
