Description

I have marked this as Critical so as to ensure it gets attention, though its not exactly an issue with Alinks it probably affects all current versions

There seems to be a problem relating to php, and specifically the php.ini file controlled in most cases by a users host

The following settings can be set too low

suhosin.post.max_vars
suhosin.request.max_vars

find out more here http://drupal.org/node/257108

What this does is affect the saving of the page, with later items- ie those further down the list getting ignored.

The more Alinks you create the closer you get to the limit. I am guessing that each link has potentially 10 variables so it can soon add up

I just had the values upped to 2000 by my host which fixed another issue, and it just came to mind that it may have fixed a long standing problem i have had with Alinks, ( Until yesterday I had assumed some corruption)

On testing the editability of my later (lowest in list) Alinks i was now able to change them

You may not see the issue yet, but as your links grow... watch out

The only alternative workaround/fixes i can think, if you cant get the server settings changed, are to either make the list of alinks paged to limit the number of entries at one time. Or to create a Hyperlink to a new page from the list of links that then allows for the editing of just one link

Version:5.x-1.4-3» 6.x-1.0-rc1

Just updating to D6 branch as problem still exists

Additional information. As the list of alinks grow, the load time increases, I am now experiencing upto 5 minutes or more, so tend to avoid editing, and go straight to the database. (165 links)
