Manage Database Fields – Fields not updating

    Hi there!

    I’m beginning my deployment of PDB as a web portal for an existing site. I’ve installed the plug-in, purchased and installed 5 of the add-ons (thanks!) and have started building my form. I’ve run in to my first problem on my second Field Group. I added all of the fields (60 of them – it’s a list of related questions), and they all added fine, but when I attempt to change the fields at all – for example, change them all to radio buttons, update the field ‘title’, etc., and click ‘update fields’, the page refreshes but none of the changes are saved. No errors, just no changes.

    Thanks for creating and supporting this great application! I apologize in advance for all of the annoying questions I’m sure to be asking you in the next month or so. 🙂

    Standing by,

    Jeff~

    This can happen if there are too many fields in a single group. Your server has a limit to the amount of data that can be transferred, and if the update exceeds that it will fail.

    If you can, increase the post_max_size setting for your php and it should work again, but I do recommend you keep your fields broken up into smaller groups.

    Fixed! Splitting the group into 2 (30 fields in each group) did the trick. I didn’t change the post_max_size as I absolutely want to operate within your best practices for PDB. Thanks so much for the speedy reply, I’m sure I’ll be posting again. 🙂
