Can no longer upload files in PFS since 0.9.11?

Donator Thanked: 5 zaman	I have a weird issue since I updated my (wip) new skin to 0.9.11. I am not able to upload any file to my PFS and I have no idea why not. I checked every setting I could, I checked permissions and what not. I reinstalled 0.9.11, I binned my DB and started all over again but nothing works, no uploads for me anymore. The error I get with any file I try (large, small, different extensions, zipped or not) is this: ccgm_pnc_screenshot_2_4.bmp : The upload failed, this file is too big or the extension is not allowed? ccgm_pnc_screenshot_2_4.jpg : The upload failed, this file is too big or the extension is not allowed? ccgm_pnc_screenshot_2_4.png : The upload failed, this file is too big or the extension is not allowed? ccgm_pnc_screenshot_2_4.zip : The upload failed, this file is too big or the extension is not allowed? Here are some screens of my settings: Anyone has any idea what could cause this? Is there something new in 0.9.11 preventing me to upload any files? <img src="http://www.armaholic.com/datas/thumbs/green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-preview_4.jpg" alt="green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-" />

I have a weird issue since I updated my (wip) new skin to 0.9.11.
I am not able to upload any file to my PFS and I have no idea why not. I checked every setting I could, I checked permissions and what not. I reinstalled 0.9.11, I binned my DB and started all over again but nothing works, no uploads for me anymore.

The error I get with any file I try (large, small, different extensions, zipped or not) is this:

    ccgm_pnc_screenshot_2_4.bmp : The upload failed, this file is too big or the extension is not allowed?

Anyone has any idea what could cause this? Is there something new in 0.9.11 preventing me to upload any files?

Donator Thanked: 7 zaman	checked if cmod is correct?

Team Thanked: 52 zaman	Check the user group settings for maximum file size and total allowed file space. Since 9.11 the max file size and total space is determined differently.

Donator Thanked: 5 zaman	#35211 Kingsley: checked if cmod is correct? Yep, checked that. #35212 GHengeveld: Check the user group settings for maximum file size and total allowed file space. Since 9.11 the max file size and total space is determined differently. I can not believe I did not check that. Cause I set all those values before already I never figured it was reset with the 0.9.11 update. Yes, I had to re-set the values for both max file size as well as total file size for PFS per user. Waisted hours on this trying to solve it........I feel a bit stupid now :) Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. But maybe you might want to think about wether you wish to list such changes in the release notes? Even now that I know of the change I cant find it in the list of changes, or maybe I am just blind. <img src="http://www.armaholic.com/datas/thumbs/green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-preview_4.jpg" alt="green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-" />

Team Thanked: 52 zaman	It should not have been reset by the upgrade. There has not been a change in the database structure regarding the pfs limits. The only thing that has changed is the way limits are calculated: max file size = highest value of all usergroups the user belongs to (e.g. 1mb for members + 2mb for moderators = 2mb max) total file space = sum of filespace limits of all usergroups the user belongs to (e.g. 1mb for members + 5mb for moderators = 6mb total) Previously, these limits were determined by the user's maingroup, not subgroups. With the new calculation, subgroups are also included in the calculation.

Even now that I know of the change I cant find it in the list of changes, or maybe I am just blind. Just adding to previous. Several versions before 0 (zero) values for max.file size and PFS limit - where meaning "*no limits", but now that means ZERO*. ))) (btw, I would like to have some real value for administrators by default - what do you think? )

Team Thanked: 52 zaman	That would be difficult to implement, because you would not have a way to actually set it to zero, except leaving the field blank. Also, it's not very intuitive to use 0 for 'unlimited'. Setting it to -1 for unlimited or introducing an 'unlimited' checkbox would be better. The usability of this configuration needs some improvement, because entering a value in bytes or kilobytes isn't very intuitive either. Perhaps a dropdown with some basic options plus options for 'unlimited' and 'custom' would be a solution.

But anyway, its fixed and thats what count the most. I am only starting with Sienna lately for real working on this new skin so maybe the issue was entirly on my side, we will never know I like Sienna a lot but I also need to find the way again after using Seditio/Cotonti - Genoa for so many years. And, regarding the other suggestion,yes a drop down of some sort with those options could be nice. <img src="http://www.armaholic.com/datas/thumbs/green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-preview_4.jpg" alt="green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-" />

Donator Thanked: 7 zaman	Uhm, correct me when I'm wrong, but wasn't the idea to give the complete pfs an overhaul? Not that I do not like the suggestions, but I say it more to prevent you guys from doing stuff that maybe will be addressed futher down the road... :)
