Hi all,

Currently using Chronoforms on a couple of projects and finding it quite good.
One problem though. On a large form there seems to be a limit to the number of fields I can have. After a certain number, when pressing 'Apply' or 'save' the browser screen goes blank. I can use the browsers 'back' button to return to forms management but my additions aren't there.

So my question is...
Does Chronoforms have a limit to the number of fields it can accept?

I need about 140 fields but it seems to die at around 100.

Thanks in advance

Hi tcforest,

There's no built-in limit but you could be hitting some processing limit. That's unlikely but possible. If you see a blank screen please try temporarily setting your site Error Reporting to Maximum and you should see a PHP Error message that will give more information.

Hi all,
I'm an Italian new member and I have the same problem.
I have created a form with 43 field, using panels for organize the fields in logical groups. I need to add more fields, but when I try to save the form in the form wizard, form wizard close abnormally and I get redirected to the Joomla Administrator control panel.

There is a solution?

Thanks.

Hi GreyHead,
I'm using a local XAMPP server. The max_input_var is set to 1000, I don't have any other module like suhosin or mod_security installed. But the problem persist...

Thanks.

Hi EffegiWeb,

And if you increase max_input_vars to 2000 - or remove it?

Bob

Many thanks.
I have tried to set max_input_vars to 10000 (before the value was standard and commented in Php.ini).

Now i can add more fields.

Hi.

I'm using Chronoforms_V4_RC3.5.2_J1.6 with Joomla 2.5.9. I use Wampserver and I try to make my first form.
It works when I create one with Form Wizard but when I try to modifie I can't Save, Save & Quit or Cancel. (same problem than the other users)

I read this faq and set the max_input_vars to 10 000 (like this) but the problem is already here.
I don't have suhosin nor mod_security installed.
I don't find any solution for this problem.
Can someone help me ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Terejima,

I can only suggest that you look at the server logs and see if any problems are visible there.

I find my error. I use a wrong HTML code in my Formated text area.
I create a new form without this HTML code and now it all works fine.

Hi Terejima ,

Well found, just for future reference: the Formatted Text element is good for simple text and HTML; if you need anything more complicated use the Custom Element element from the Advanced Group which is more flexible.
