[SOLVED] Increasing backslashes in "param"s field from joomla "users" table

[SOLVED] Increasing backslashes in "param"s field from joomla "users" table was created by agaudin
Hi there,

I'm using CB for a while without difficulties. But I am now encountering a new problem :

- each time I'm editing (saving) a profile in CB / users management, the "params" field in joomla "_users" table of the corresponding user get exponentially increasing backslashes, leading to a too much heavy profile that breaks it

- looking directly through phpMyAdmin :
---- I tested a profile editing in the classical Joomla user management component : no problem at all
---- I tested a profile editing ine CB users management : one then severak thezn douzains then hundreds backslashes appear, each time I click on "save" button

This happens both frontend and backend editings.
Sample below :

*************__users/params form profile before bug
{"admin_style":"","admin_language":"","language":"","editor":"","helpsite":"","timezone":""}

*************after one "save" button click
{"admin_style":"","admin_language":"","language":"","editor":"","helpsite":"","timezone":"","0":"{\"admin_style\":\"\",\"admin_language\":\"\",\"language\":\"\",\"editor\":\"\",\"helpsite\":\"\",\"timezone\":\"\"}"}

*************second click
{"admin_style":"","admin_language":"","language":"","editor":"","helpsite":"","timezone":"","0":"{\"admin_style\":\"\",\"admin_language\":\"\",\"language\":\"\",\"editor\":\"\",\"helpsite\":\"\",\"timezone\":\"\",\"0\":\"{\\\"admin_style\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"admin_language\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"language\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"editor\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"helpsite\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"timezone\\\":\\\"\\\"}\"}"}

*************third click
{"admin_style":"","admin_language":"","language":"","editor":"","helpsite":"","timezone":"","0":"{\"admin_style\":\"\",\"admin_language\":\"\",\"language\":\"\",\"editor\":\"\",\"helpsite\":\"\",\"timezone\":\"\",\"0\":\"{\\\"admin_style\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"admin_language\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"language\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"editor\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"helpsite\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"timezone\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"0\\\":\\\"{\\\\\\\"admin_style\\\\\\\":\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\",\\\\\\\"admin_language\\\\\\\":\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\",\\\\\\\"language\\\\\\\":\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\",\\\\\\\"editor\\\\\\\":\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\",\\\\\\\"helpsite\\\\\\\":\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\",\\\\\\\"timezone\\\\\\\":\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\"}\\\"}\"}"}

And so on....

Any idea ?
Thanx a lot by advance - managing a 1200 members group - cannot imaging to remove backslashes once a week...

You're missing CBs workaround to a Joomla issue. Ensure the params field is accessible. It needs to be on a published tab and needs to be available in user edit. We need to move our workaround from the params field storage behavior to the CB user object store before you'll be able to completely remove the params field from display. Joomla doesn't check if params are already a JSON string so unless CB converts it to an array before storage Joomla just keeps JSON encoding it on every store.

See the below topics on how to reset the params columns to fix them.
