Description

See the associated show.t.o instance.

I created a site using trunk (future 14.x), applied a profile which created a long tracker (160+ fields), with long field names, etc.
When I tried to export a single file from the tracker, I get in a Tiki 12.x installation:

Request-URI Too Large

The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.


And if I try to do the same with trunk(Tiki14), I get the screen converted into a semi-transparent blackish window, as if something was to be shown, but the user can't see anything happening. Just no message, no tracker definition exported, etc.

See it reproduced here:

  1. Log in here: http://xavi-9794-5536.show.tikiwiki.org
    • u: admin
    • p: 12345
  2. Go to tracker fields:
    http://xavi-9794-5536.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-admin_tracker_fields.php?trackerId=1
  3. Select one (for instance, id 5, which is short and has no commas in the name, etc).
  4. Go down to the dropdown field at the bottom, and select "Export selected", and click at "Go".
    • No field definition is exported.

Solution

Hopefully r5433?

I'm guessing this has been fixed so I am closing this report. Please re-open if any issues.


Thanks jonnyb and lindon! However, I svn-upgraded the show instance, tried again, and issue still found: no export produced. Try it yourselves with the instructions above. Reopening the bug report.


Oups, you ar right, I tried again with another browser, and ensuring that browser caches are cleared, and then, da-daaa, it worked as expected! Great, thanks jonnyb!
