Limit / restriction of 200 rows? Data lost!

I want to fill a table with a lot of data: 250 rows x 4 columns. However, as soon as I start a table with over 200 ‘items’, I cannot edit the table any more. Or, actually: I can edit the table, but I cannot save it. As soon as I try to save any change (even deleting items), I go back to the initial start screen of Ultimate Tables, where you can pick one of your tables to edit. Changes are not saved.
Unnecessary to say that I found out after spending at least one hour with filling over 50 rows (200 cells) with data…. That’s gone. And I cannot edit my table anymore.

Are there more people with this problem? It’s easy to reproduce: create a new table, add 200 items, save, try to change something in the table and tadaaaah it does not work anymore.
And any clues for how to solve this problem?

Hey Tuindwerg,

I am having the same issue but I am at 163 items. I currently have 5 items that are blank and I can’t add any more information, delete or add rows. Exact same situation… as soon as I save it kicks me back to the initial screen for Ultimate Tables.

I have emailed for support but haven’t heard anything back. 🙁 May need to find another solution but it will be very unfortunate for my client who has already added the 163 items.

Let me know if you have been able to fix this. Thank you! 🙂

Hi Fuzednotions,

I am sorry to hear that you have the same problem, and also just found out about it after entering all the data.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to solve the problem. I decided to use another plug in for my table. It is called Easy Table. This plug in is a little more limited, but it has the additional advantage that I can import existing data AND it works. 🙂

Good luck with your table!

Hi!! i also have the same problem! any solution?
I think plugin´s author must warn about this, it seems that only is possible to add 200 rows.
I will try Easy Table.
Thanks!!

The problem (not sure if the only one, but for me it worked afterwards) is in the sorting function using in usort() in init.php file. When you’ve got more than 1000 cell inputs they are numbered in “1,xxx” manner. The sorting function – sortByOrder – uses function intval, that parses “1,xxx” as 1, which makes the mess. Just somehow force the value to parse in a correct way (get rid of the “,” by str_replace or something) and you should be ok.
