Attachment Size on Usergroup
 

Asked about this at VB.com, they said try here.

I'm looking for a hack that would allow me to configure custom upload sizes through the ACP. For example, I want to be able to upload files up to 10 meg, but I only want admins to be able to use this option. Any thoughts?

I can't be the only person who would want this hack....

I'd like to have it, but I just don't have the time to create this hack. This would certainly become the *Hack of the Month*, easily...

isn't there something like this allready in the acp?

Isn't it Usergroup Manager/Attachment Permissions

He might be meaning 'per file/per usergroup attachment pemissions'.

At the moment, we can say that a jpg can be a maximum size, but it is a global thing, not configurable per usergroup.

It would be an ultra simple hack, if that was what he was asking for...

The maximum size allowable will be dictated by PHP, through the .ini settings for

upload_max_filesize
post_max_size

One could retrieve these values, take the minimum of the two, and call this the "max allowable size".

Then, in the function process_upload (functions_file.php), the line:

$maxattachsize = $attachtypes["$extension"]['size'];

could be changed to use this "max allowable size" for any upload if the user is a member of one the privileged groups.

Either way, like Log sad. Would have tyo own a dedicated server to do this.

Err...what? Who said what where?

(Also, I am intrigued by your banner...what is Wed Design?)
