Default Product Options TextArea

I need to have a TextArea for a product option. Is there a mod for this.

I am using the newest version of X-cart 4.2.2

Yes it is by default with xcart. In product modify page look at the top menu items and click on product options

I see in the product options where you can at a "text field", but i need to have a textarea where they can enter a message and not just a line of text. Is that available?

Sorry. Not by default. You can probably replace the text field with text area. Not sure how the script will save it in db - like a line or with the line brakes

I don't see why this is not a part of xcart already. I had a custom Mod created by xcart for this on an older version, but I don;t think it will work for the new version.

Does anyone know of a way to get a text area for one of the product options?

Default Re: Product Options TextArea

Is the text the same for the "one product option" category? I have a closeouts category and I needed to add a "condition rating" table to an extra field within the product.tpl page that I could use across the board for my closeouts. I didn't want to place the html table directly in the extra field text field for each closeouts item, because if the table information changed I would have to make the change for each product within my .csv file and import this to the store. What I did was create a closeouts.tpl for my html table, placed it in the appropriate folder and I added the {include file="modules/Extra_Fields/condition_table.tpl"} script in my product.tpl.

Did anyone actually ever get down to the issue of coming up with a solution re how to get a text area rather than a text box? (things like this, should all be default out of the box functionality)

See the post above it is do able - but it takes alittle bit of tweaking. I did it (a while ago now though and it worked for me. As always - before you make any changes - backup . It may not work in 4.3.x and 4.4.x
