Hi all

I am very new to xoops, and my first impression is WOW.
Now, one thing bothers me, I have created a download section, but I want also that users can upload files to there (instead of submitting it, cuz that does not realy uploads the file to my server).

Is there any option or a module for that?

Thx in advance

Hi,

Welcome to xoops, I'm glad you're having fun.

Take a look here for the latest version of wf-downloads, which IMO is the best download module available. You will also find other options in the module repository.

Happy xoopsing

Thx for the reply, and indeed WF downloads is great

But when I want to upload a file, it always says that the file is to big :-s I allready placed in the max file size 0 and 99999999999 but both are not working.
Any ideas?

what does it say the max upload size is on the index page? in the server info part..

makes no difference what u set ur max size to, if the php.ini value for max size is set to a smaller limit..

you will need to ask your host to change the limit in php.ini on your server..

If I am not wrong,... wasn't there an option in a config file in your root html dir that you can overwrite the settings in the php.ini file then?
I don't remember where it was,...

sure, search for .htaccess

http://www.php.net lists all the settings, but i don't think max file size can be changed with htaccess tho.. but i maybe wrong..

You are correct - the htaccess file cannot be used to set the max file upload size. It needs to be done in php.ini by the host (or you, if you have access)

According to the PHP manual, that parameter can be set in an .htaccess file. Reference:http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ini.php#ini.list

The relevant parameters here are post_max_size and upload_max_filesize.

-----

@bcolemont:

You can check your settings with the one-line script
<?php phpinfo() ?>
placed in a file in the same directory as the script you're having trouble with.

Can you upload small files? E.g. 100 bytes?

Also, I don't advise setting a limit such as this to an unreasonable value like 99999999999. That might get "wrapped around" to zero or a negative value.
