Changing Poll Choice Field Length

I think 2048 characters should do the trick.

Here is a slight tweak to use variable_get() so that site admins can easily customize the max length by defining the Drupal variable advpoll_max_length (no need to create a UI for this though).

Looks nice. Maybe a more descriptive name though, e.g. advpoll_choice_max_length.

Good point; I changed it to advpoll_choice_max_length.

This is exactly what I'm after only I'm wondering if there's a fix for the most recent dev version.

I'm currently using AdvPoll version 7.x-3.x-dev and want to increase the length of the poll choice field.
Any suggestions on how to best accomplish this? ...and yes, I have data in that field from other polls....

For 7.x-3.x: In advoll_field/advpoll_field.module under function advpoll_field_field_widget_form() is the FAPI definition for the choice textfield, but it's missing a '#maxlength' property and 128 appears to be the default.

The database definition for the field column is varchar (500), so it should be safe to go at least up to that number here. 128 is a little restrictive.

My code looks like this:

$element['choice'] = array(
        '#title' => check_plain($element['#title']),
        '#type' => 'textfield',
        '#size' => 110,
        '#maxlength' => 500, // Add a maxlength here.
        '#default_value' => empty($items[$delta]['choice']) ? '' : $items[$delta]['choice'],
        '#description' => check_plain($element['#description']),
        '#required' => $element['#required']
      );

Sorry I'm not making a patch, just tooling around with this and making a quick hack for fun purposes and thought I'd share.
Not sure if it's appropriate to re-open the issue, but I'm opening it so it can get some attention for 7.x

Thanks for re-opening, this was not on my radar at all. Patches welcome!

Attached is a patch for Drupal 7 to increase the edit widget to allow up to 500 characters. I did some quick testing and this didn't seem to have any issues, and allowed us to enter up to 500 characters as a poll choice. Which is the amount allowed in the database.

A code without hacking the module

/*
 * Field widget alter to allow more letters in Advance poll options
 */
function MYMOUDLE_field_widget_form_alter(&$element, &$form_state, &$context) {
  if ($context['field']['type'] == 'advpoll') {
    $element['choice']['#maxlength'] = 500;
  }
}

Ok. Patch committed.
