TOPIC: How to display desccription field

How can I display the description field? I have many custom fields and I need to explain what each one is for, features, benefits, etc. I can\'t include it all in the label field. I need to either be able to show the description field, or significantly increase the size of the label field.

I also need to increase the \"values\" custom field input length. I enter several values, and when I save it, it cuts off about 60% of what I entered. How come it lets you enter so much, then cuts it off?

Ok, So I figured out how to increase the field length. You go to your database, and in jos_dtregister_fields edit the Length/Values of the field you want to increase in size.

I still don\'t know how to display the description though.

I couldn\'t figure out how to do this either. I spent forever trying to figure out how to fit all the workshop options into the tiny little 255-character space allotted for entering radio or drop-down fields. In the end, I ended up making shortened titles for the workshops which didn\'t match the conference literature or actual workshop titles. I was pretty embarrassed about that. Some of the workshop titles on the website simply look stupid. I also provided a link in the item description to the workshop page so that users could click the title in order to get the full text of the workshop names.

I don\'t understand why a different field type is not used for this and hope this is fixed on future releases.

I increase mine to 5,000 characters in my DB. Works great. Some of the fields had limits of 250 in admin.dtregister.html.php. I just changed all those to 5000 as well.

I also changed the tables so that the label is above the values and full width. Here is one of my events.

Glad you found where to fix this. We\'re about to release an update that also allows you to insert text into the form so you can put a description, instructions, etc in the form. This will also help to reduce the need in most cases of using a long label.
