Server issue Toggling with too many options

[Jon W]

Just tried to disable a code event listener with the toggle checkbox and it came up with a JavaScript error, which turns out to be a security error (a separate bug).

It seems that Apache might be limiting the number of POST variables and that because I have so many add-ons installed that it doesn't receive the token, which is at the very bottom of the form.

Not sure how common this is across different HTTP servers, but it is quite annoying.

Guess its time to uninstall a couple of add-ons on my development install...

It may be http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-input-vars

Unfortunately, there's not a lot we can do about it -- the issues happen before it gets to XF and I don't think we can detect it. The big problem is that it's configurable and it has to be adjusted before PHP runs because the data is mostly lost (from the standard input data) already.

I appreciate that you can't fix this issue directly, but could you not change it so that it has a separate form for each add-on rather than one big form?
