Select box max characters was created by depika
I am creating a form that has a select box.
The text I want to display at the text box gets truncated (the text I would like to add is quite big).

What changes do I have to make in order for the select box to display bigger text?

Hi,

sorry for the late answer, but I was out of office on friday and on weekend.

The text should not be truncated but be shown with line breaks. If it is truncated that comes form your templates css which may overwrite settings in visforms css.

You can us a developer tool like the google chrome built in developer tools or firebug for firefox to figure, which css rule is used and correct it.

Another way to include longer texts is, to use the "Custom Text", which you can find in the "Advanced" Options of each field. This text is displayed beneath the field. So if you want to place a longer text above a field, you can us a separate field of type "field separator", place this field separator field above the checkbox field, set the field separator field option "Border not visible" to yes and enter the text in the field separator field "Custom Text".

Thank you for your answer

I changed the file visfield.xml
under administrator\components\com_visforms\models\forms
Code:
<field name="f_select_value" type="text" label="COM_VISFORMS_VALUE" description="COM_VISFORMS_SELECT_VALUE_DESC" class="inputbox" size="50" maxlength="100" /> <field name="f_select_select_label" type="text" label="COM_VISFORMS_LABEL" description="COM_VISFORMS_SELECT_LABEL_DESC" class="inputbox" size="50" maxlength="100" id="f_select_label" />

before for these two fields the maxlength was set to 50. Now that I had set it to 100 the text is not truncated.
