Maximum number of attached files problem

[riverdale]

Hello, I am getting a "You have uploaded the maximum of 5 files" when I try to upload an attachment when posting a new thread or replying to a post. ("Reply" --> "Additional Options" --> "Atach Files" --> "Manage Attachments").

I have enabled attachments everywhere but I cannot find where is this maximum 5 uploaded files limit coming from.

Can someone help me out and tell me how can I remove this limit?

Thank you

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Message Attachment Options > Attachments Per Post

Change this setting to whatever you want, or use 0 to have no maximum limit.

Thank you Kerry-Anne, I have changed that to 0 so as to have no limit, and now it says "You have uploaded the maximum of 0 files"... so I still can't attach anything.

Any ideas appreciated.

To troubleshoot this, please remove any hacks and disable your plugins, then see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

If your problem still exists, please create a new Style with no Parent set. Now browse the forum using this new style.

Thank you once again Kerry Anne, I have follow all your suggestions and the problem persists.

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

The plugin system has never been enabled, so this is not a factor. I don't have any plugins, and the only product is vBulletin itself.

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

Did this, downloaded a fresh copy of vBulletin from the members section, one without images.

If your problem still exists, please create a new Style with no Parent set. Now browse the forum using this new style.

I created a new style with no parent set twice, with fresh style files, and still I see the "you have uploaded the maximum 0 files".

I have also re-checked forum attachment, usergroup and forum permissions to make sure that attachments are enabled. I am the admin and still cannot attach any file to a post, keep getting the message quoted above.

Any more ideas are very welcome.

Please submit a support ticket regarding this. Thank you.

The problem was that you had 'Attachment Upload Inputs' and 'Attachment URL Inputs' both set to '0'. Increasing these to 5 fixed this problem.

Thank you Steve!

I spent hours looking for this solution (my "add files" button on the flash uploader was not appearing), support had me running around in circles, reinstalling this and checking versions on that, there was no info in documentation or the forums.

Only when I reverted to the simple uploader then got the same issue as the OP did I find this little gold nugget.

Truly a champion!
