Tried to select more than 18 gallery archives - bug?

[klaschatx]

Hi Thyon and all others,

I got a problem with gallery-extension on TL 2.7.4. There were 18 gallery archives in my installation on http://www.kickerbau.org. Now I wanted to add a 19th archive and select all archives to be shown with one gallery viewer. When I select the 19th gallery archive and click on save, all selections disappear and none archive is selected any longer. Selection of 18 archives in any choice works fine - adding a 19th archive and the whole selection disappears while saving.

Hope you can follow (I'm a german with an ugly English, I gess ;-))

Is this a bug or is there a problem with my installation?

Thanks for reading
Sincere regards

This could be just a problem with the database not having the archive list set to a field that is big enough. Normally I just copy/paste the recommended TL suggested field types, which may not always work in all situations. Try to modify the following field.

database.sql=> `gallery_archives` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',

-- 
-- Table `tl_module`
-- 

CREATE TABLE `tl_module` (
...
  `gallery_archives` text NULL,
...

make the change and re-run the install tool to update the database to the new value -- it shouldn't lose any data, and anyway, it will only be for the gallery list module(s) that you've created.

Hi Thyon,

this works fine :-) Thank you very much for your help! Now I'll go to the german forum and post your solution there too ;-)

Have a nice week
