[SOLVED] General config (component) can not be saved

Hello,

I use Flexicontent 3.0.8

When I go to flexicontent general config ( www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?o...ent=com_flexicontent ), set a modification and apply (or save & close), I am redirected to Joomla general config.
And when I return to Flexicontent general config, my previous modifications isn't applied.

So, I can no longer apply a modification in Flexicontent general config.

What can cause this problem ?

Thank in advance

Hello

When form size (=total form fields) is higher or close to the
PHP limitation variable: max_input_vars
then Javascript will serialize the form into a single variable and submit it
-- IF a javascript error occurs then the form is not serialized, you get an PHP error (max_input_vars) in the server that will redirect to Joomla general config


Here is what to do/try:

1. press CTRL+F5 / F5 / command+R, (Windows / Linux / Apple\'s Safari) in the form once to make sure that you have loaded latest JS / CSS files
and retry to save
if the above does not work, then please check for the JS error and provide it here

2. another way is to edit .htaccess or php.ini and increase: max_input_vars (and more variables if you use suhosin)
but regardless of doing increasing max_input_vars, please provide JS error

Hello ggppdk and thank for your answer.

In Flexicontent PHP/DB requirements I can see these informations :

I don't know how to check javascript errors. How can I see these ?

Thank

Hello

did you try CTRL-F5 once before trying to save ?

Yes, I apply ctrl+F5 before save the general config.

Hello

there must be a JS error,

you can send me a PM with super admin login

it should be quick to view it,
- if it is FC bug i will fix it

I send you a PM with admin login.
Thank you

Hello

i found why the form (FLEXIcontent compoent parameters) does not get serialized

- You have: max_input_vars: 10000 , so the serialization is not triggered

but you have not increased the suhosin variables limits to be the same value
suhosin.post.max_vars
suhosin.request.max_vars

-- to solve with current version, v3.0.8 either change max_input_vars down to 1000
or better increase the suhosin variables up to 10000 (to the same value as max_input_vars)

Thank ggppdk.

How can I change the suhosin variables ?

I have a mutualized hosting (Ex2Hosting, enterprise plan).
Does these variables have to be changed in php.ini ?
If yes, I have no access to this php.ini file, so what can I do to fix it ?

Thank you again

I have followed this tutorial : www.flexicontent.org/documentation/faq/7...allation-upgrade/591

I add these few lines in .htaccess file to define php.ini location :

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/xxxxxxx/public_html
</IfModule>

xxxxxxxxx has replaced by mysite_account of course.

Then, I create a php.ini file and I put it in public_html.
Inside this php.ini file, I add these few lines :

max_input_vars=10000
suhosin.post.max_vars=10000
suhosin.request.max_vars=10000

Then, when I go to Flexicontent home page in my backend, I see that the modifications have been applied, it's nice
max_input_vars 10000 Obligatoire 1000 Recommended 2000
The suhosin variables disapeared.

But when I save the global config, I have a blank page and I have to actualize one or two times to see my backend correctly.
However, the setting have saved correctly, but because I have a blank page it is not convenient.

The problem is the same when I open a article and save it > blank page again.

So, what can I do to make it work correctly ?

Thank you

EDIT : to make my site working with article editing, I disable php.ini by renaming it to php.ini---
I'll give you FTP login in PM if you want to rename it and debug my problem.
