Backed up form in Wizard not saving

swopeoffice 08 Nov, 2012
One of my clients has a form that is similar to another so I was going to use it as a starting point. I did a back up of it and restored it in the new clients site. Everything pulled up nicely in the wizard but when I make changes and click "save" it goes back to the joomla control panel (opening page).

If I create a new form, it saves just fine. Am I able to do what I want to do here?

Please search our FAQs page for "suhosin", it looks like you have this problem.

suhosin and modsecurity are not running on my server. Confirmed with my host.

Any other possible suggestions?

Well I went ahead and started from scratch building my form - its now doing it with the new form. It seems like this is the problem - but I dont have these things running on my server to limit it. Is there any other kind of limitation? Could the CE staff login and check it out?

Hi swopeoffice,

By all means email or PM me the site URL and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Hi swopewoffice,

I think this is may be a bug that seems to creep in when there are 'too many' containers in the form, though usually I have seen it exhibit as a timeout error because the code gets in a loop. Max has a 'fixed' version to prevent the loop. I've taken a backup copy and will restore it on my test server to see if I can get more clues.

In general I think that with long forms it's 'better' to break them into separate sub-forms.

How do you do that? I mean, in a perfect world, I'd love to take each section of this and even make it on it's own page - would that help? Essentially, in this version, each container almost would be a page. I could give you a link to the employment application i'm trying to recreate.

Hi swopeoffice,

I agree, I helped do just that with another application form recently.

The short version of the process is to make each section a separate form. On the first step add a DB Save action and capture the new record ID. Save this to the User session so that it remains available. On each succeeding step add the record id into a hidden input so that the same record is updated when that section is saved.
