Storage Quota vs Upload Counts -priority for disabling uploads?
-
Hey All, Any help would be appreciated.Trying to confirm the points below are true.
Storage Quota : Mb/Gb vs Upload Counts
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Storage Quota is Mb or Gb ; Set by Member Level for a UserBy Counts we Mean : Counts of Uploads for Photos, Audio, Video, Media
1) How is this Tracked in the Database?Does Upload Count mean, irrespective of how many Photos he has already uploaded and then, Deleted - the count always increases by 1 ?Example : lets say a User's Member Level Storage Limit isQuota : 10 MBLimit Upload Counts of Photos : 5If he uploads 5 pics , then deletes 4- the database keeps track that he only has 1 pic .now he uploads 2 more picsis his upload count 7 or 3?2) Which has more Priority?Storage Quota or Count Uploads LimitWhich one prevents a user from uploading, when either conditions are met?PriorityLets say User has 10 MB LimitLimit Upload Counts of Photos : 6He uploads 7 photos which are 2 MB each.Which disables him from uploading?- hes gone over his Storage quota limit : 14 Mb- or hes gone above the Count Limit : 7Hope its clear, please feel free to let me know..Thanks ! -

Please set the server to be per the requirements as that is far too low for the upload_max_size. https://support.socialengine.com/php/customer/portal/articles/1649350-socialengine-requirements There are two values there too that need to be at 15mb. I'll have to go look at the other stuff.

Is this a third party plugin settings? For the other settings you are asking about or are you asking about default settings?

LOL... I need my cuppa tea too.
Totally hear ya.
The question I asked about storage vs count was to understand how its designed on a top level,
so we can understand how the resources are consumed (uploads/storage( by users) and accordingly plan the packages.
For SE , I think theres only 1 ,I know of
the photo uploads are calculated for Advanced Activity Feed here..

Guess this is where the confusion is:
Example : lets say a User's Member Level Storage Limit isQuota : 10 MBLimit Upload Counts of Photos : 5If he uploads 5 pics , then deletes 4- the database keeps track that he only has 1 pic .now he uploads 2 more picsis his upload count 7 or 3?Your example above is showing a count being stored. You also mention a limit to count. The only count limit is to how many photos can be loaded at one time in activity feed so as to avoid a member mass uploading a million photos to the activity feed in one upload. It's not for how many in total over time. Taking that count out of the equation since it's only for a "one sitting" sort of thing, do we still have a question? Or are you speaking of stats and not limits? -

Yeah check there but please check both settings in the requirements, post max and max upload. I'm testing on local and am able to upload a 5mb photo without any message showing.
Thats another issue , I was coming to !
Theres no alerts to the user or admin - if he has reached the limit.
Thats been in there for a long time and always wondered why theres no message to let the user and admin know whats going on.
There is also no message to the user and admin if his storage quota has been reached.
To get to that issue,
we are trying to figure out how storage quota works in conjunction with Upload Limits.

Without knowing if and how storage quota and upload limits work as they should,
there is no way to have users pay up or use subscription packages/ plans for the space they consume.
Automatic emails and alerts to user and admin,
when the storage or upload limits are met is how normal hosting companies work.
Also, as admins we cannot know how much storage is used or if the suer has uploaded more than what we have set.
We are essentially reselling (buying and renting ) a hosting space like Amazon or other hosting vendors .
Thats why its critical that storage quota and upload limits work perfectly for the admin and the user.
Now , im gonna have that cup of tea :))

"How many photos to allow in an Activity Feed? Enter the maximum number of photos that are allowed to be uploaded in an activity feed."
It could also mean "to allow" as in total amount of uploads.Now we know.I will check with the 3 Dp if their settings mean the exact same thing.
2) "do we still have a question? Or are you speaking of stats and not limits?"
Yes. How does the Storage Quota keep tabs of users disk space used? Is it in real time?
What happens when the quota is reached?
Thanks -
Just to give you a backdrop, as to why we are looking into this.
Member Levels can be used to give certain members more privileges than others. You can grant/restrict a Member Level's access to features and sections of the community. You can also assign levels that have moderation or administrative capabilities. Additionally, using the Subscriptions feature, you can charge your members to be a part of a more feature-filled Member Level. The following video will give you a quick overview of what is possible with member levels:
We are using the different Member Levels to allocate different Quotas.
example 1
member Level 1 = Storage quota 100 MB
Member Level 2 = Storage Quota 1 Gb
Based on the Member levels - we are assigning subscription packages.
example 2
Member Level 1 = Storage quota 100 MB < subscription package 1 ($0.99)
Member Level 2 = Storage Quota 1 Gb ($2.00)
thats why Storage Quota and upload limits come into play
Thanks

Yes I know how they storage quotas are used for member levels as we use them here and I use them on my own site. I just hadn't tested that much and figured that if I had it at 2mb for example, a user could only upload that amount and once that is reached they can't upload more. I'll test on local but you could also test on your development site by setting the quota super low and using a test user to try a few things. It might be faster for you to test as I have to get a few things done before I can test. :)

I also want to confirm
1) If the 3Dp audio/video/photo upload limits mean exactly the same thing "at one shot uplaods / 1 sitting"
or does it mean they keep tabs of the number of uploads.
2)How the 3DP gives warnings / alerts for their limits.
We have tested 3dp limits out. but found no warnings either. It just stops uploading or craps out.
3) If a plugin which sets upload limits is disabled, does the upload limit also get disabled.
What happens then?
So back to the drawing board lol

for example, in the below case.
The user has not reached his limit , but hes still getting the message "You are allowed to upload max 5 photos"
He only has 2 uploaded so far. and it prevents him from uploading anymore,...
but gives no error...just hangs.
