I want to limit the maximum size of the item's image and attachments to 500KB, so my K2 users can't upload files that are too bog. I tried doing that through Joomla's global configuration, but then I tested it and it didn't work.

 

What do I have to do to limit their maximum size?... thank you.

I would really appreciate someone helped me with this. And another related question: how can I also limit the type files that can be attached?

 

Thank you : )

anyone please ? help us

As far as i know, the file upload limit size is controlled by default with the php settings.

In php.ini it looks like this
In your .htaccess file it can override the setting in php.ini and looks like this
Changing it there would stop the large files, but would not be the "best solution" as the server would just refuse the file

See Kris's replyhere for the files that contain the file type restrictions...remember you are editing the core of k2

Thanks William. You're right, it's not the best solution but it'll do for now. I followed your two suggestions and I got them both to work. I REALLY appreciate your feedback, many questions in this forum are left unanswered and I know that the few people that help aren't enough for so many questions.

 

If you have the time I would also REALLY appreciate if you take a look at this two other questions. Making required fields (not extra fields) is my BIGGEST problem right now:

I don't know what to do : (

Is there any other, more stable and without messing with the code, way to make the upload limit for the registered members lower? And if there isn't can you explain, with what I am messing at? What these modifications, at the code, change exactly?
