Problem:
Users are uploading extermely large pictures to the public photoalbum
Solution:
Limit the initial upload of an image to a certain allowable size.
I would then post a note warning users to only post images this size xxxxx
, before creating an album or before adding a picture to an album.
I am running ACS4.2b+Ora816i+RH6.2+AOL3.1
I am using photoalbum 4.0.1
I looked at the parmeters for this package under the mainsite.
The defaults to limiting file sizes are:
Parameter name: ThumbnailSize
desciption:Max Dimension for thumbnail image
This is set to 100
Parameter name:ViewerSize
Description: Max Dimension for viewer imgae
This is set to 400
Interms of a metric, I do not know what sizes the parameters are refering too. Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, etc.
Also, None of the above options help me limit the size of the inital upload.
I did notice though, that under filestorage parameters.
There is a MaximumFileSize parameter.
Description:
The maximum size, in bytes, of files that users are allowed to upload.
An admin can change this too any size in bytes.
I'm looking for a similiar solution.
