Number of Elements Restriction

chocfoot 30 Apr, 2012
Hi

I'm creating quite a long form with around 50+ elements. I've struck an issue in that I can no longer save the form. When I click on 'save' it returns me to my Joomla administration screen.

If I delete an element, I can add another, so I'm wondering if there is a limit to the number of elements per form?

I look forward to your response.

Hi chocfoot,

There's no limit in ChronoForms.

This is most likely because of security settings on your server. If suhosin is running then these three settings need to be at least 1,000 (possibly 2,000 if you use large forms).

suhosin.get.max_vars
suhosin.post.max_vars
suhosin.request.max_vars

Hi Bob

Many thanks for your answer; but unfortunately it's double dutch to me :?

My webhost is Dreamhost, can you offer any advice as to where I can find the settings you refer to? I don't think suhosin is installed.

Cheers

Hi chocfoot,

I don't think that Dreamhost runs suhosin by default either. You can check in your site Admin PHP Info page. They do run mod_security by default and that may be the problem here. Checking your server logs may help.

Just to be clear, there is no limit in ChronoForms so something else is applying a block to the page submission.
