Can?t save changes on certain list

[zzzz54]

Hello guys, please give me a hint to solve this very anoying issue.

This only happen on certain lists. For example in this link you can see the issue. I?ve tried to configure the order element in the data section, but i can?t make changes at all.

mydomain/administrator/index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=list&layout=edit&id=255

Please help me ASAP.

Totally strange.
I can't even close this list after opening.
All i can see is

(which doesn't mean something to me)

You are right, the "save and close" and "close" buttons redirects to the same page. I was used to copy the list and make the changes on the new one in order to avoid this issue, but rigth now that workaround is not working anymore and the new lists are neighter saving changes. The only way that I have to save changes on those lists is using phpmyadmin.

This only happen on certain lists....
I was used to copy the list

Are these all copied lists? From one special list or from different ones? Are the "originals" working?

When hitting "Close" it's showing some "...uploading..." in the status line (and stays on the open list).

It happens on some copied lists. but today the issue is happening in a original list also.

please take a look on the notes that i?ve added recently to the "my sites" info. There you can find two links to compare the same list when working fine and when don?t saving changes at all.
the main difference between those list is some new fields that I?ve added to the group asociated to the list where I concat some values of databasejoins elements in just one calc element. anyway, is difficult to me to make a relationship between the existence of some elements and the way that the list is being saved.

I have a feeling this may be a PHP post data limitation. On the failing pages, you have a HUGE number of "related data" links, which each use a lot of form inputs. PHP has an ini limit, which in your case is set to 1000, on the number of inputs you can have when posting a form. From a cursory look at your page source, and doing some counting in Notepad++, I thin you may have gone over the 1000 limit for form inputs.

I suggest you try upping max_input_vars to 2000 in your PHP ini, restart the web server, and see if that fixes it.

I?ve f0llowed your advice, but i can?t restar the web server because is a shared hosting. I have one droplet in digital ocean waiting for finish the website to move everything there and take the next step in the development process, perhaps start to using git-hub and fabrik in a deployment enviroment. This will be new for me, and I hope that we could solve all the issues in my development before that.

thank you for all your efforts, best regards!

i'm thinking that i'll need to make all the website again from the scratch... this will be very time comsuming but i can't wait more time. PLEASE HELP ME.

Try:
Edit your .htaccess file in your Joomla root, add a line

php_value max_input_vars 2000

This is a "local" change, no need to restart the server. But I don't know if your server is allowing to override these settings.

I?ve tried to include that line in the .htacces but it shows "Internal Server Configuration 500" when I try to get into admin zone.

this is the content of my .htaccess:

Ccan you see somehing that could be causing conflicts with the last one?

That means your host doesn't let you override PHP ini variables in your htaccess, nothing you can do about that.

i'm thinking that i'll need to make all the website again from the scratch... this will be very time comsuming but i can't wait more time. PLEASE HELP ME.

Nothing I can do about increasing PHP resources, if you are on a shared host that doesn't allow changing ini settings.

However, you won't have to rebuild it from scratch. You can either just copy the Fabrik tables up to a new server (and any files you added, like custom scripts / templates), or you can just make an Akeeba backup, and clone it to another server.
