Hi, i have created an extra field (type Drop-down selection). After that ive introduced a large number of values (options) i didnt count them exactly but i think is more than 200. At some point when i try to enter a new option the joomla respond with a blank page with error INVALID TOKEN.
Any idea what cause this? Is a limitation in options for a single extra field?
thanks,
Cristian

INVALID TOKEN, generally speaking is a Joomla! issue when the token from another session is being used.

Can you provide me the entire error code?

there is nothing else, just a blank page with that message..
If i try to enter a new value on this specific extra field (with more than 200 options) thats the outcome.
but its working very fine if the same procedure is made on other extra field with just a few options.

It is possible to reach the limit in the database's table with such a large amount of values.

The type of the column is text so you can experiment by backing up the database and changing the type to longtext.

PS. Backup :)

I have changed the `value` type of the k2_extra_fields table from TEXT to LONGTEXT, and nothing happens.
It still give me a blank page with INVALID TOKEN.

Can you enable error description and set it to development.
This will provide more details.

Hi,

How did you fix it? Can you please share?

I have the same problem; when I want to add an option first I need to delete one, otherwise i get that 'invalid token' error.

Setting the value from TEXT to LONGTEXT didn't work for me too.

Simply doing a database fix and clean site cache (as advised at www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/35061-invalid-token-after-add-an-option-extra-fields-k2) didn't do the trick too.

Which version of Joomla! and K2 are you using?
Any 3rd party extensions?

Thanks for your fast reply! Latest version (2.7.1).
3rd party extensions for k2 you mean? Could I give you a login for our development site (which uses k2 2.8.0)?

It might has something to do with another problem we have with extra fields options; when an option is removed the K2 items that had the option assigned to gets the next option in line. So let say we have a K2 items '1' with Extra field 'Store': 'option A'.
Option A is deleted > K2 item '1' gets Extra field 'option B' that doesnt make sense. Please advise how to fix.
