I am having a problem with uploader size problem.

I can upload the images with any size by using KCfinder, but for the normal uploader, it seems to limit the size. How can I remove those limitation?

Just one question - you mentioned you can 'upload images of any size using KCFinder' but the attached image shows the opposite; that is KCFinder in the background so perhaps it is with KCFinder that you are encountering this problem? Could you please clarify? Also please clarify what you meant by the 'normal uploader' that is limiting the size.

Thanks.

Maybe server settings? Smth like post_max_size in php config

Ok. Maybe I am also confused with the uploader. Let me explain it other way.

We are using a uploader with bulk upload function in photo gallery section. I can upload photos with any size by using this bulk uploader.

In normal page, we will have this uploader which required us to click on "browse" button to upload photos. This is the section/uploader that I encounter problem. I can't upload photos as you can see it exceed the limit.

It's probably like @trendoman said. How can I fixed it? I find it hard to explain to client that why they can't upload photos sometimes and with this size limit alert.


Thank you.

@nsy, it's a setting in php.ini - so edit it if its VDS or send email to Hosting company if it's Shared hosting. First link from google: https://mediatemple.net/community/produ ... oad-limits

@trendoman, thanks for quick reply.

But how to explain the bulk uploader can upload images with any size?

If I tried to replace image by click on "browse" button, the upload won't succeed, it kept alert size exceed.

I mean it's the same photo I tried, the bulk uploader can upload successfully, but when I try the "browse" method, it failed.

My client directly get the photos from studios, and the size can be really big, more than 10mb, I have to make this work or give them a really good explanation....

Bulk uploader uploads files one by one, probably via Ajax call
To test the assumption above, you can try to upload a very big file in bulk uploader. It is expected to also fail, if exceeds max POST limit for this one attachment.

@nsy, I agree with @trendoman - you need to change the 'post_max_size' setting in your php.ini.

The bulk uploader used by gallery utilizes 'Plupload' which uploads the files in a chunked manner (thus breaking up a file into several pieces) and hence manages to avoid the max post limit. KCFinder, on the other hand, uses the more conventional direct method.

Changing the php.ini setting should solve the issue. Please ask your web host for directions in case you need help doing that.

ok. Thank you.
