Restricting upload size for FileUpload Plugin

mikeymccoy

Is there a way to restrict the size of images and uploads to my forum?

Caio

With some code, yes. Will probably be Javascript.

I haven't looked at the plugin that you didn't mention the name of , I would assume there is a settings size. Just as the uploading of a users photo has a size restriction.

if you are designing something yourself.

Sorry total oversight on my behalf I just amended my post accordingly. The Plugin is FileUpload.

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Isnt it set in config

Clicking the plugin setting brings me to the media tab under Forum. Inside there there is only the option to either turn file Upload On or Off or define who can upload and manges files.

MaxImageSize 1.3

I tried that but that only restricts the pixel size not how large the file you can upload.

peregrine

it looks like it takes the smallest of the three of these
        $PostMaxSize = Gdn_Upload::UnformatFileSize(ini_get('post_max_size'));
        $FileMaxSize = Gdn_Upload::UnformatFileSize(ini_get('upload_max_filesize'));
        $ConfigMaxSize = Gdn_Upload::UnformatFileSize(C('Garden.Upload.MaxFileSize', '1MB'));


    two set by php and the last set in config.php

    This would probably limit maxsize to 2mb. probabably 500KB for 500KB

    $Configuration['Garden']['Upload']['MaxFileSize'] = 2MB;

mikeymccoy

Where did you go to find that code? And what would I type to limit the file size to 1mb?

peregrine

looks like the default is already 1Mb
look around line 200
class.fileupload.plugin.php

mikeymccoy

Maybe but I just uploaded an image that was 2.5mbs

peregrine

add the config line and see what it does.

I'm suggesting not testing.

mikeymccoy

Cool with give it a try. Do you mean this line "$Configuration['Garden']['Upload']['MaxFileSize'] = 2MB;"

Also where exactly do I add that?

peregrine

Between the lettuce and the tomatoes

you could throw it in at the bottom of the other garden statement that start with

$Configuration['Garden']

I think its more of a look then a necessity, keep all types together.
