Hi,
I have a bunch of Select Dynamic Cascade (version 1.1.0 running on Seblod 3.3.3 and Joomla 3.3) fields that I created and I noticed that even though the options2 field in the database does have a value for the method parameter (by default "get") this field is not always displayed on my field definition form in Seblod.
Does anyone know why?
I wrote complex (and therefore long) free queries for my fields and the queries work but I could not save the fields in the database.
Having noticed that the method "POST" was giving better results for forms with a lot of fields (due to no limitation in length with "POST" vs a limited number of characters for http "GET requests) I proceeded to change my Select Dynamic Cascade fields and that's when I noticed that some of them would not display the parameter.
Any idea why?
Thanks.

Hi,
Answering my own question: The GET/POST method only appears for the "End" field. It's deactivated for "Start" and "In Between". However the value is stored in the database in field "options2" and defaults to "GET". To have it be "POST" you can first configure the field" as "End", change the value to 'POST" , save and then change the type of field to "Start" or "In Between". Not sure it matters though. In my tests as long as the "End" field is "POST" it seemed to work and I was able to save all values in my long forms. (whereas with "GET" some values were not saved).
Regards.
