Hey All, Any help would be appreciated.Trying to confirm the points below are true.

Storage Quota : Mb/Gb  vs Upload Counts

1 More Question

1 More Question: 

Where is this 2 MB Limit Set in Social Engine?

I do not have this limit set in my php.ini or .htaccess file.

In fact, I have it set as 4 Mb in upload_max_filesize

So where is the settings coming from ?

Thanks

Thanks Donna,

Exactly.

I havent set that limit . I have set it as 512M in php.ini

but thats what Im trying to find why its showing 2M.

Checking with the 3PD, if they made any changes.

sorry,

I meant I have set it as

32M for  upload_max_filesize  and post_max_size = 32M

But I see 2M , so dont know where thats set up.

Thanks

"For the other settings you are asking about or are you asking about default settings?.."

Regarding Storage vs Count- Its a SE question.

Regarding the 2MB photo upload issue ,The message is from a 3DP plugin.

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..

For 3DP

Theres no actual word "count", its just to explain my point (the counting of uploads)

as stated above

By Counts we Mean :  Counts of Uploads for Photos, Audio, Video, Media

Basically Storage Quota vs Max Upload Limits (which are kept tracked or counted in the database)

Donna said:

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)

"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"

1) I did not know that. Its very unclear and ambigous.

"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.

https://support.socialengine.com/php/customer/portal/articles/1665238-admin-panel---manage->-member-levels

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

Sure Donnawill do it .

testing time...

Thanks 

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.
