RockpageBuilder changes only apply in frontend

[Jochen Fritsch]

Hi Processwire Community,

I got stuck. Changes that I apply to any RockPageBuilder Block only get stored in frontend editing.
Changes made in the Processwire Backend get ignored. Even as admin.

RockPageBuilder 5.2.0
ProcessWire 3.0.229

Any suggestions for me? I have no further idea.

Thanx a lot

@Jochen Fritsch  the current version is v6.3.1, can you confirm you are talking about v5.2.0 which is from 02/2024? https://www.baumrock.com/en/releases/rockpagebuilder/

ProcessWire 3.0.229 is also not the recent version. So are you talking about an old project that has been working before or is that a new install? You might watch out for errors in the console and you might hit a max_input_vars limit on pages that have many many blocks/items/fields. One huge advantage of editing blocks on the frontend is that it will only ever load one block with a hand full of fields.

On the backend all fields have to be loaded, which might cause issues (though I never hit any limit myself).

Hei Bernhard,
yes, it´s an "old" project. The problem popped up by a client response. I haven´t had the problem, when I set up the project.
I've worked on the project from time to time. But I cant't guess, what the problem could be.

Yes, v5.2.0 and ProcessWire 3.0.229 are the current versions. Would an Update fix the issue?
The max_input_vars limit is set to 6000. This can not be the problem, I think.
Saving regular Fields works fine.

Edit: The problem occurs only on certain Field Types.
in my case:
FieldtypeOptions / InputfieldSelect
FieldtypeFile / InputfieldFile

Thank you and best wishes

Update

Can you send me your invoice number / mail address via PM please?

Hi bernhard,

I wrote you a PM.
I could finnaly locate the problem.

Fields in rockpagebuilder_blocks with a showIf or requiredif condition only got saved in Frontend Editing.
With an empty showIf / requiredif condition the field values got saved.

Has anyone else ever faced this problem?

Ah, thx, just replied on that pm and didn't see this message. Please try the version that I sent you and let me know if that fixes it. If not we'll have to find another solution.

Hi bernhard,

you helped me lot!
The update to RockPageBuilder 6.4.0 fixed the problem for the showIf conditions. But I get an error for requiredIf conditions.

-> dependency field XXX is not present in this form

on page level.
