Bigger attachment for a forum or usergroup
 

Hello,

I am running (vBulletin 3.8.3).

I would like to allow a specific usergroup or forum to upload bigger attachments than the other users or other froums.

There is a specifig usergroup that needs to attach big attachments in a specific forum, but I don't know how to give more privileges concerning the attachment size without touching the global one.

Please help,
Thanks

Thanks, for pdf is working... when I am uploading a RAR I get the following error:

Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

I disabled the hooks how you said successfully.
Tried to upload one more time the 11MB file, waited about 2 minutes and then the same error appeared... any suggestions?

You still got the security token error? You can try this:
Create a new style with no parent:

• Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
• Parent Style: No Parent Style
• Title: Default vBulletin
• Allow User Selection: Yes
• Save

Now try uploading it.

If you still have the problem with the default style and your plugins disabled, then you may want to put in a support ticket.

I have some news...

I the following topic: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...-or-mismatched

And I found out that it's probably caused by the php.ini

I am using the normal PHP5 (not fast CGI), so in each folder the php.ini is needed, it should be changed and it will affect the php files on that folder.

If I go to:

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> PHP info I can see:

upload_max_filesize = 2M
post_max_size = 8M
memory_limit = 32M

I have changed my php.ini in the /forums folder with other values... but in the PHP info I can still see the older values (see above).

What should I do? Should I edit a particular php.inf or I should edit all of them? Or maybe something else?

Thanks & regards

Not allow hosts allow you to change the php values in a php.ini in your /forums folder. Are you sure your host allows this? If not, you will have to ask them to change the values for you.

please, look here: http://helpdesk.hostmonster.com/inde...article/000128

I am now using the:Standard PHP (Default)

If your php values are not getting changed with your php.ini changes, then you will have to talk to your host about it.
