Hello Everybody,

I am wondering if anyone has an issue with the checkboxlist and its limit?

I created one with 29 music genres and if you select up to or more than 15-16 then then on saving the whole field resorts back to a state where none of the boxes are checked.

Is this a limit that I have hit and can it be extended?

Thank you,
Tony

PS .

As a work around while building the site I have created 2 fields of 10 and 1 of 9. Hiding the label in the last 2 fields.

Hi,
the problem is the column of DB table, now is set to 255 chars. So when you select many options you exceed this limit.

So you have two way to fix this:

1) increase the limit of the column (for example with PhpMyAdmin), the column is called "clubdjcomknowledge" in the table "#__jsn_users"

2) reduce the length of the values, now you have this:
djcomknooldskool|Old Skool

djcomknoparty|Party

....

you, may set something like this:
oldskool|Old Skool

party|Party

....


solution 2 is not recommended if you have many existing members, because they will lose their value for that field
