Size limit on Attachment and..

[Kwak]

Could this be done on beta 7?

Allow attachment on a specific forum and make the attachment viewable/downloadable only for the administrator.

[Kwak]

I think I just found to disable download from users.

Go to usergroup, disallow download attachment by users.


edit: I allowed unlimited size ( '0') for attachment but when I test it out, I get
"The file that yu have tried to attach is too big. The maximum size for this filetype is 40000 bytes. Your file is 60000 bytes."

It was a Microsoft Word document.

What size setting do you have for the DOC attachment extension type?

What size setting do you have for the DOC attachment extension type?

I tried 0 (unlimited) and then tried 1000000.

[Steve Machol]

What mime-type do you have for the doc extension? Do you have 'enabled' set to Yes?

How can I check this?

[Steve Machol]

The same place you set the allowed file size. In the Attachment Extensions section of the Admin CP.

[Kwak]

Mime Type: Accept-ranges: bytes
Content-type: application/msword

Enabled: Yes

Max File Size: 10000000


Getting "Sorry, your attachment could not be accepted because your administrator's attachment quota would be exceeded by 20479 bytes."

The document was a 20k file.

Well the mime type is correct. Sorry but I have no idea why you are having this problem. I jkust did a test attachment on my test forum and it worked fine.

Was this an upgrade or a new install?

It was an upgrade from beta 6 to 7.
Arrggh... I have set the mb limit up high but no clue why I get "Sorry, your attachment could not be accepted because your administrator's attachment quota would be exceeded by 5116 bytes. He/She has been notified of this. "

Well does the administrator's group have an attachment quota? You set that in the the usergroups section.

[Kwak]

Well does the administrator's group have an attachment quota? You set that in the the usergroups section.

For the administrator, Space (in bytes) that a user's total attachment usage may consume (Set to 0 to not have a limit) is set to 0.

For membergroups, it is set to 1000000000.

[Kwak]

Under "Move Items from Database into File System", the attachment file path is set to "/path/to/your/attachment/directory"

Am I suppose to change that and CHMod it?
