Wizard edit stopped working on large form

Chronoforms 4.0 RC3.5.1
Joomla 2.5.8

I've been working on a rather large form yesterday and today. Yesterday I ran into a problem with saving the form. I managed to solve this with changing / increasing the max_input_vars in the php.ini. But now I am facing a new problem...

When I want to open the form in the wizard mode (Wizard edit) it takes quit a while to load something, and when it is done I see part of the wizard loaded, but a lot of parts missing. Even the Joomla toolbars are gone. So now I can not edit my form anymore.

This is what I get:

Any suggestions on why this is happening? Some kind of time-out?

Thanks!

Hi jj135,

There is a bug that seems to occur when there are a lot of containers in a form that has this effect. The code goes into a loop and times out. If you think this may be the problem Max has a patch that prevents the time-out, ask him for it using the Contact Us link above.

Thanks Bob. I tried uploading a previous backup from the same form (with less fields) and had the same problem. Then I created a new form, saved it and opened the wizard. This worked, and after that the 'problem'-form also worked again. So that solved the problem for me now. When this happens again or more frequently I will contact Max.

With regards,

Mmm, the problem returns. I will try to contact Max.

I'm now removing the fields form the wizard and putting them in a php file I include in the form using a custom element.... This way I can at least move forward ;-)

HI jj135,

There was a fix for the Container Loop problem posted here this morning. Max has said that he will include it in the next release.
