Select whole list does not function correctly

[HaKr]

5.5.1 (Build 1202)

I wanted to add a set of contacts to a target lists. When I selected the whole list (some 88 contacts) I noticed that this setting got 'lost' after I navigated to another page.

Some debugging revealed that the select_entire_list variable in the POSTDATA does not survives the navigation. Strange to see that in the hidden fields of the displayMassUpdate form the value for this variable differs from that in the actual screen form.

Digging deeperinto why that could be, brought me to the conclusion that one method uses $_POST, where the other uses $_REQUEST. The correct value is always in $_POST.

Is this a PHP issue= I could not find any discussions on this matter. Nor do I see questions about the select all behaviour on this forum. Does anyone else recognise this?

I have experienced the same issue. If you are using Pro or Enterprise you can create a report, and add targets to the target list via report, which will grab all in the report, no page problem. If you use CE a work around that i have found is to expand the number of entries that show up on a page in list view system settings in admin panel. you can do this temporarily add contacts to a target list, and then change the number of records in a list view back if there is an issue of time it takes for a page to load.

hope this helps.

Thanks Ben. The behaviour that you describe is filed as a defect, some week ago. Since we only have the CE, I tried to have all entries selected by navigating through the pages. That works for not too big numbers, but not when you choose "select whole list

I've filed a bug report for this as well

A bit disappointing that there is such a large bug in the CE version...
