How Do I Allow One Category To Have No Max Upload Limit?
 

I would like to have one category which doesn't have any max upload limit, so if a member posts in that particular category, it doesn't count against their max limit. Can anyone help? :)

Max upload limit? Do you mean a category where the space used by the photos isn't decreased in the user's available space?

Re: How Do I Allow One Category To Have No Max Upload Limit?
 

Exactly...members can post as many photos as they want in one particular category and it won't affect their available space....:)

I believe that's not possible without major, and I do mean *major* hack.

Create a "universal" account and allow access to your members.

Strangely enough this same issue has popped up for me also but in reverse. I want users to be able to upload as much as they want in all of the generic forums but in the one forum that I specify as "Member's Category" I want the user group limits to kick in. The thought process is that can can upload as much as they want for the 'on-topic' categories but in the Member's Category area they can upload anything they want that is 'off-topic' but only within a specified space limit.

If nobody comes up with anything in a few days bump this thread again and I'll do what I can.

Should be easy to add a flag to the categories where you could turn On/Off if that category counts toward the user's limits or not.

KW802, thanks for your (and everyone else's) reply. I've had a very good look at the code and templates and I'm afraid I won't be able to come up with anything on my own. Any help is appreciated....;)

Cheers! :D

Look in your forum/includes/functions_gallery_imageedit.php file for:
Replace with:
Replace X with the catid and that should do the trick.

Re: How Do I Allow One Category To Have No Max Upload Limit?
 

Cool. In my case it'd be == X. :cool:

Brian, that's not a *major* hack =)
I thought a lot more code was needed to prevent users from circumventing the system by uploading to category X and then moving to other categories or keep Gallery from updating the db when editing the photo, etc.. that kind of things.

Re: How Do I Allow One Category To Have No Max Upload Limit?
 

Thanks Brian....I appreciate that! :):D

Re: How Do I Allow One Category To Have No Max Upload Limit?
 

I would like to do this as well. What exactly would I put here:

for multiple categories?

Thanks.

Re: How Do I Allow One Category To Have No Max Upload Limit?
 

Replace the code you just posted with this instead:
(Replace X, Y, Z with the catids)

Thanks Brian.

Execue me, i can't find the text above in the newest version of vBa Gallery but i found :

and change it to



But seem not working...

*bump * :)

I would like kind of the opposite of this. It would be great if we could limit different sections to different amounts.

Re: How Do I Allow One Category To Have No Max Upload Limit?
 

Brian (or another clever individual), is this solution useable on vB v3.5?

Also, if I wanted this solution to affect two categories instead of just one, would I just add the other category ID number and seperate them with commas?

Thanx in advance! :D
