TYPO3 Core

More info:

• I clicked add image -> The popup open
• I browse the folder where there are 46 images (uploaded before)
• I click toggle selection -> All images get selected
• I click import selection -> the popup windows get closed -> images are added to the content (it takes some seconds)
• I save -> the error appears

Validating the security token of this form has failed. Please reload the form and submit it again.

Same happens here: If I add a lot of images (50), then every more image added and trying to save yields that error.

But if I close each images' subform (with the fields title, link, alternative text and description), I'm able to add more images.

Workarounds:
- Collapsing Subforms and adding images again
- Make a second image content element

The issue is still there with TYPO3 6.2 and appends on bulk editing what so ever. Opening up multiple pages or content elements for editing and trying to save those at once ends up with the very same result. Making the bulk editing features on big data amounts useless.

hi there,
i had the same problems -> i was able to fix it with setting max_input_vars from 1000 to 3000 in php.ini - just created an contetn element and bulk selected 99 images - no problem!
typo3 6.1.10

Is raising the value of max_input_vars the correct solution or just a workaround?

This problem ist not TYPO3 version specific (it's a PHP configuration variable since php version 5.3.9). Anyone with rights could probably remove the "TYPO3 version" value in this issue?

If suhosin is installed on your environment you must raise the values of suhosin.post.max_vars / suhosin.request.max_vars as well

• Deliberately set max_input_vars to 500 (which is already too low for TYPO3s Installtool)
• Inside a "image" content element I used the "Add Image" button to open the filelist popup
• Selected around 100 images at once and clicked "import selection"
• Waited some time, until all images were added and clicked "Save"

No error messages are shown this time (although the TYPO3 instance is configured to display any type of errors), but no images were added as well.

Can you check the ajax requests done and their responses?
