    I use:

    1) all 3 “Product Variations” as drop down for customer to choose Month, Day and Year.

    2) also use “Collect Customer Input” field for the customers to add personal message.

    After people click add to cart, the shopping cart shows:

    3-month membership (1 person) (06) (4) (2011) (happy b-day)

    Where (06) (4) (2011) are coming from the Production Variation drop down fields.

    and (happy b-day) is from “Collect Customer Input” field.

    My question is:

    How to make it read like following in shopping cart:

    3-month membership (1 person) Date(MM/DD/YY):06/4/2011 Massage:happy b-day.

    The purpose is to add some notation to the info. that the customer enter, because (06) (4) (2011) is not clear which digit is month, which is day. And for (happy b-day), we need to add the field labels or description for the info customers enter.

    Where (which file) can I find the codes to replace the original characters with my words and insert them in the shopping cart as you do for the “(” and “)”.

    Thanks!

    It comes from a combination of some PHP code and some javascript code. The PHP code is inside the “eStore_button_display_helper.php” file and javascript code is inside the “lib/eStore_read_form.js” file.

    amin007,

    Thank you so much for your help!

    Do you know how many characters total that I can put into this description in shopping cart?

    I heard if it is too long, it can not be passed to the payment gateway. So what is the safe limitation of the item description in shopping cart?

    Thanks!

    I haven’t tested the limits but theoretically 255 characters should be safe.

    I’ve tried PayPal. It seems the text got cut off after 127 characters… Anyone else tried?

    PayPal will hide the text after certain characters so they can fit it in the checkout page but that doesn’t mean that those characters are lost.

    I see. Where can I see the full text (256 characters)? Please advise, so I can go and look for them and report / confirm it back here. Thanks :)
