I set up a custom textbox to show on checkout. When we go to view the past orders that information is not there. Where can I view what the user entered in that textbox. We are running dnn 04.09.04 and smith 03.88.00
In the manage order detail page if you click the "Custom Fields" button at the top of the screen you will see all the custom fields.
So I found that and it looks like it cut off the message. I went in and saw that the db field is on 50 char. We need a long message because this is a flower ordering site and I added the custom text box for a message to be added with the flowers. I didn't see any option to add a text area. Is there any way I can make this longer? Can I just change the length in the DB or will that break something else?
Did you try using the special instructions field?

The problem with that is, they go to paypal to check out. Some people might not go back to the site after they pay or may not see it. Do you know if adding chars to that textbox will hurt anything else?
I think in all the code behind the custom fields are defined as string so you should be able to increase the width of the field in the table and also you will need to change the varchar parameter in the add and update stored procs to match the new width you define. I recommend doing this on a test system and not your live site to see if it works first.
Could you put me in contact with one of your developers or tell me what stored procs those would be so I don't have to look through all of them.
Check out the sprocs add and update customer and payhist. Or you can do a search in sql mgmt studio for the custom field you want to change
