Problem with saving translation of the back-end

I can use the translation function within Eventsbooking without problem for the front-end and the common language parts. However if I try to save any change in the back-end translations I get am error with the message: 

• HTTP 403 Forbidden
• "The webmaster has forbidden your access to this site"
• POST to 
  Code:

  /administrator/index.php?option=com_eventbooking&view=language
• Code:

  I tried to increase max_input_vars
  to 5000 without effect

I consulted CHATGPT and after investigating this problem, it seems that the back-end translations have so many strings that when it tries to save the changes it sends around 118 kB of data. This seems to trigger safety mechanisms within ModSecurity/Imunify360 that prevent the execution of writing the changes.
I have already filed a support ticket with my providor to look into this and maybe change some settings within ModSecurity/Imunify360, but maybe Joomdonation can also improve the handling by not writing all the data at once and maybe write just the changed fields instead.
BTW, I have just started with you plugin and sofar I am quite impressed by it. 
I have the latest plugin and Joomla 6.1.1 and we are on PHP 8.3
I hope you can shed some light on this.
Best wishes,
Lucas
 

Hi Lucas

As you figured out, this is blocked by ModSecurity. Please contact your hosting provider support, ask them to solve that for you. They should be able to add a rule to prevent this error

Hello Tuan,

Thanks for your reply.
Would it be an option for you to change your code as well in order to prevent these kind of issues?
At the back-end it is a huge amount of data that is stored all at once. Maybe you can split that up in smaller parts, or just save the updated fields? Even if one searches for only one field, update it and press save, the whole bunch is being saved again

It is not a problem with saving. The language file is small, so saving the whole file is not a problem

The real problem here is that the language file contains many language items, so there are many inputs on the form and it is over max input vars limit configured in PHP. That's why I had to implement a workaround here and it causes issue on some server

It is easy for hosting provider to change the setting. So please ask them for help with this

Regards,

Tuan
