UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Resources and Customizing How Do I? really dumb question.

how do you get pics into the GALLERY BOARDs, i set one up and no one can figure out how to use it?

Have you gotten to the 'New Image' button in the gallery forum yet?

If you have, you should see Image Manager (Total Files: 0)

Click on the link to upload from your local PC

oooo thank you im getting close, now ive gotten to this {We encountered a problem. The reason reported was
You have exceeded your limit of attachments.

Please click back to return to the previous page.}

how do i fix that? thank you.

Control Panel > Forum permissions

Here you can set the size of attachments and number of files

i set the total # of atachments for user to 2. 22 for me, i set Maximum size of gallery images to 6 for everyone. i set Total # of gallery images for me/admin to 22, 2 for everyone else, and Maximum size of file attachments to 6 and Can Download attachments to everyone and i still get the same screen?

We encountered a problem. The reason reported was

enter the size in bytes. Not mb or gb
Right now your size limit is 6 bytes.
Then also clear cache before you test again.

Also when you make an attachment there should be in the header some info on your limits.
Here it is
File Manager: You can attach 3 photos. Max. file size is 1 MB.

enter the size in bytes? how do i do that type 6bytes in each of the user boxes under Maximum size of gallery images?

No, 6 bytes is a very very very small file.
Say you want to allow a 1mb file size.
1mb=1048576 bytes
So enter 1048576 in the field for file size.
When you stated 6 I assume you meant 6mb
For 6mb you would enter 6291456

But bear in mind that your host may limit that size, so whichever is less will only be allowed.

It also would be helpful to myself as well as others to post the url to your board.
Sometimes a quick peek will show what the problem is without even getting control panel access.

ok let me try that, thanks so much

darn it put 1048576 in each box and still the same message!

Okay there are a couple of things to check.
First.
How do you access the forum permissions.
The reason I ask is you might be just editing the default permissions template not the actual forum permissions.

Second.
when you enter the file size there is a note . It displays what the file size limit is by your host.
What does it say?
It will be something like:
If this forum is a gallery forum, this setting dictates how large each image may be. Max size set in php.ini is 8M, so you may not exceed this size.

Third is goto:
Control Panel » Permission Checks
look for anything that fails in the gallery folders.
You can click on on line.
Maybe you have a file permission issue.

i go to control panel then to forum permisions then i get If this forum is a gallery forum, this setting dictates how large each image may be. Max size set in php.ini is 8M, so you may not exceed this size.

i go to permission checks and i see this

i fixed it for you.. you needed to do the 'forum permission' for that specific forum

now image manager has 6 pics per post @ 4Mb each

you can of course change that if you want



Good luck

In forum permissions - make sure you observe this box....


Currently editing permissions for:

Click the 'down' arrow to select the gallery forum....
...and then click on 'switch'

Now you can enter the value and hopefully, you will see a difference

Okay I got access.
I can only assume that the way you accessed the forum permissions for your gallery is via.
cp>forum permissions.
When you do, the default is editing the default template.
when you select the forum you want to change, you need to use the switch button to the right. Otherwise you are editing the default template.
Thats what it looks like because I only found your settings in the default template.

I kinda fixed the gallery forum. But You need to go through them for all.

you missed my post 2 ago, Ruben. i already fixed it for his forum

Well it was broke again.
He must have deleted the forum and started over.
I noticed the settings changed while i was there so maybe we were both in there at the same time because I set it from 0 to 1mb. When I went back it was a different value.

alls i know is its working and thank you soo much guys. im gonna try and leave stuff alone now!

on the little island deal i seup for the gallery board, do them pics switch like a slide show or just show the last pics uploaded?

it shows the last x number of pics uploaded to whichever gallery forums you selected.

you currently have that set to 1, so it is just the latest picture uploaded.

if you want a random picture to show up, then there is a custom island that can easily be added to randomly grab a picture from all of the uploaded pictures

thats what i want! but im afraid to ask how to do it. im with out a doubt the dumbest SOB that ever sat down behind a keyboard.

thanks dude!

ps: you aren't the dumbest SOB behind a keyboard either

There is?? Cool. I don't think that I ever saw that before. Can you tell us where we might find that jewel?

An example is the island here on the bottom right.
Look for Ricks post in the following topic.

Yes, it works great... Thanks Ruben for pointing it out to me.
