increasing width of 'industry' select field

[infosud]

Hi everyone.

I'm using sugar CRM 6.3, and I have a problem in the advanced search of accounts. I have a <SELECT> field, but the text inside is too longer, and we cannot see what is writted.

So, I'm trying to increase the width of this field, but I don't know where to search.



I tried to modify

html_options name='industry_advanced[]' options=$fields.industry_advanced.options size="6" style="width: 150px" multiple="1" selected=$fields.industry_advanced.value

in ..../sugar/cache/modules/Accounts/SearchForm_advanced.tpl
But nothing happened...

What can I do ?

thanks for your support

Vincent

Modifying cached script will not work, you must create a custom field template instead.
Copy the folder include/SugarFields/Fields/Enum to custom/include/SugarFields/Fields/Enum and modify the style inside SearchView.tpl.

Hi, sorry to be late.

Thanks for your help.

I made what you said, but the enum field has not a better width. I tried to modify this code :

style="width: 150px"

I tried to tip "300px" instead of 150, but nothing happened.
I try to delete this field trought studio and create it again, but still nothing.

My boss also gave me another thing to do instead of this.

When I add the "industry" field in the advanced search using Studio, it makes an ENUM field. I wish to have a TEXT field instead.
If I found a solution for this problem, the first one will not have to be solved.

Thanks for your help.

My problem is solved !

I added 'type' => 'name', in the industry array in file /custom/modules/Accounts/metadata/searchdefs.php
