Hi friends, don't know what's wrong. I created an album named Unknown and there are many songs in that album. Now couldn't add a new song to that album but with other album with less songs no problem. Is there any limit on the number of songs per album? When I click save, Joomla redirects to the Joomla administrator control panel. Please help. Thanks.

    what's the max_file_uploads value?
    that's what's causing the song limit. you need to increase it.

    But I don't upload any file I just put the external link. why max_file_uploads interfere? On my server, it is 20. But I think that should not be the problem cos no any file upload.

      ok, let's try one more time to convince you: it's max_file_uploads. I bet a box of beer ;) I bet the number of songs in that album is 17, and it doesn't let you upload anymore. did I guess right? it's max_file_uploads then ;)

      it doesn't matter if you don't upload, the field for upload is created anyway and that's what counts for PHP.

    In that album, I already have more than a hundred song. But let me try with other album. I'll try adding 30 songs at once to see if it works.

    but how was that album added? through the NEW album interface?? or was it scanning a folder?
    if you create a new album you won't be able to upload more than 17 songs unless you increase the limit

    Yes with other album, adding 30 songs at once is ok. What I suspect now is the size of POST variable cos with many songs (more than a hundred) the POST is too big to be accepted. But you have provided the clue. Thanks.

    Yes I added the album though the interface (no scanning folder).

    When I check the error_log it says PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. Maybe this is the problem. I'll find out more.

      both limits are related. the max_file_uploads need to be increased too.. that's for sure.

    Yes the problem lies on that guy max_input_vars value. Too many songs for that album. Germi, when will we be able to add a new song from the song menu itself not from the album?

      there's already this form in the frontend for single songs (ID3 tag reading), but only in the frontend (not in your version).
