I have a textfield attribute that seems to default to 128 characters. I'm using a View to display all the products in a table. 128 characters is too wide to display in the fixed width theme I am using. I really only need it to be 20 or so characters wide. How can I override the default and limit this to 20 characters?

Thanks, Chris

OK, actually it is the size that I need to edit, not maxlength. I went ahead and added a #size line to uc_attribute.module

 $form_attributes[$attribute->aid] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => $attribute->name,
'#description' => check_markup($attribute->description),
'#default_value' => $attribute->required == FALSE ? $attribute->options[$attribute->default_option]->name : '',
'#required' => $attribute->required,
'#size' => 20,
);

but I don't think this is a final solution.

Support requests are handled through the Ubercart support forums. You should post there to see if anyone can give you some advice on using hook_form_alter() to modify the form.

You can also alter the size of text fields through CSS, which would be the easiest way if you just wanted to make the width smaller.
