Hi,

I have a seblod 3.2.2 installed on a Joomla 3.2.1 site. When I create forms and assign the Article Catgory Id to one of the forms, if I go to Live Value and click the << to select a category, after I save and close the category ID is not populated in the box left of the << icon as it should normally be.

I also have a similar issue withe the User Groups in content types based on Joomla User structure. I can click and select but nothing is saved.

I tried on different content types, created several from scratch, no luck.

Thanks for your help.

Hi, I never use the category picker. I always look up the category ID and fill it in manually. Does this work for you? Same for User Groups

And I just tried what you described above and it is working in my install, J!3.2.1 and SEBLOD 3.2.1.

Sometimes strange problems occur with this extension that nonody seems to have an answer to. Maybe the devs could tell but they don't seem to have the time.

One thing that is always good to check is the max_input_vars value in your phpinfo. Since PHP 5.2.3 this is limited by default to 1000. When you have a lot of fields in your forms, not all information gets processed correctly because of that limit. You can set it to a higher value by php.ini or .htaccess directives. I don't think your problem described here is directly related to that setting but it is always good to adjust that value if you start running into strange behaviour of fields not saving ther values etc.

Hi,
I never had that problem with Seblod 3.2.1 either.
Anyway thanks for the workaround: it works!
