Hi,

I would like to make sure that there is no maximum inputs set for single select element ? We have a custom field that has more than 500 options… after we have entered 330 options, we are now unable to enter anymore options?

In fact, I would like to know if there is any maximum option set for anykind of element (multiple_select, locations, category, etc).

Could you please help us with that?

Thanks in advance,

JP

Dear JP,

There is no limitation for the maximum value of input option to select list type field.

Could you show me the error message you have faced for further checking ?

Regards

Hi HeR0!

Thanks for your excellent support! I really appreciate.

Great news regarding no limitation for the maximum value of input option to select list type field! We have some field that will contain more than 500 values…

I have no specific error message that comes out when the issue is generated…

Here are some printscreen (x2) before and after clicking the “Add” button from options editing values:

Before:

After:

As it shown, after clicking add button, we get redirect (in the same lightbox) to the editing option values screen, but this time, in a sort of an iframe of the joomla backend…

We have entered 330 values so far for this field… Would you like to have our joomla access and ftp access to investigate more on this issue? If so, is there a way to send you those access in a private mode?

Thanks in advance!

JP

Hi again HeR0,

I was wondering if you had the chance to look at this issue?

We are currently stuck with the limitation of 330 values option for these 2 single select fields:
– job_code
– secteur_scian

Thanks in advance,

JP

Dear JP,

The isssue on your site caused by the limitation of input post from server hosting :max_input_vars = 1000 while that form has more 1000 elements to post data. So, you should contact to server hosting provider to increase max_input_vars variable.
Please look the http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10303714/php-max-input-vars to get more info.

Hi HeR0,

Thanks for the reply. I send an email to my server hosting provider with the details ou provided.

I’ll let you know what will be their answer.

But was wondering how could I create a new field (single or multiple select) and add it 330 options and then get stuck… because, our max_input_vars is set to 1000…

In total, we have more than 1000 options entered?

Keep in touch,

JP

<blockquote>In total, we have more than 1000 options entered?</blockquote>

Yes, the element input (vars) on that form = (330 * 3 + more than 10 input elements which are hidden) > 1000 . So pls ask your hosting provider to increase max_input_vars . This is the issue and and we will update performance in the future.

Hi HeR0!

You we’re right on! After my server hosting provider increased the max_input_vars, I had back the possibility to enter more options!

Good job!

Man thanks!
