Greetings,

I just noticed today that my multiselect content in extended fields is no longer saving. I have a field group that has a dropdown, two textedit fields and two multiselect. The other fields are saving, but the multiselect no longer does. It was working a few days ago.

Ive just upgraded to 2.6.1 a few days ago but not sure if this was the culprit.

Ive searched around online but didnt find anything very useful. I did see a k2.js hack which I tried which should do something about field sync, but that didnt help.

Any advice would be appreciated.
p.

Looking into the DB i find something strange.

In the latest content, this is what the extended fields contains:

[{"id":"2","value":"1"},{"id":"3","value":"erer.mp4"},{"id":"4","value":"erer.mp3"},{"id":"6","value":"Array"},{"id":"7","value":"Array"}]

Where fields with ID 6 & 7 are the multiselect.

Looking at working content, you can see that the "Array" actually has a delimited list of the content selected. So it seems some kind of handler is not merging the array into actual values like this:

{"id":"6","value":["35"]},{"id":"7","value":["5","27"]}]

Hi. Does this occur for new fields also? I just tested with no issues.

Thanks for picking this up.
Yes it does occur with new fields. I added a multiselect with 2 values and it also doesnt save.

Bump anyone? This issue is preventing me from creating content on my site...

I am having a similar issue in that I have a URL link for my Extended Field in a category and it is being replaced with single characters

The same issue with K2 DB - String "Array" without array values. I spotted K2 Extended Field type LINK.

Joomla 2.5.7 - K2 2.6.1. Upgrade

It Does not matter For New or Old Created Fields, Categories, Items .....

Start digging in component source for the possible reason... If someone have an progress - plz give us a reason - 10x at advance!

Ok, so Im at least glad Im not the only one with this problem. Hopefully people consider this serious enough to look at. I honestly dont have time to go digging into code to look into this.

I still cannot verify the issue. I am able to create and edit extra fields of all kinds with no issues. I guess that by "Extended fields" you mean extra fields right?

Yes that is correct, I do mean extra fields. Is there a paid support where I can have my specific system looked at?

We do not provide paid support. A thing you can do is to check your browser for any JavaScript errors.

HI again,

i digged in without any positive result :angry: !

But only one solution (for me - because i'm starting from new items db) is to use TEXT Area fields with Code editor enabled and use it for my links and mail fields in items :silly: !
Hope this will be useful for you Paul (but not sure) :blush:

Have no more free time to digging in ...

Hi Dencho,

Yes I did notice that textfields are working fine. Only dropdowns because its declared as ARRAY and for some reason the object is not being parsed properly.

Unfortunately this is not an option for me because I do need an array object.

Thanks for posting this though :-)

Hopefully the devs can shed more light.
