Limit upload plugin for cpg1.5.x

[Αndré]

This plugin allows you to limit the number of uploads for your users. You can choose a total number of files, or a certain amount of files for different periods of time.

Thanks for the plugin. I just tried and it doesn't looks to work right.

I login like admin, and activated the plugin, and uploads a couple of pictures ( I guess that the restrictions doesn't affect the admin, which is cool). Then I log out and I log in with the test user, and I get the message that I already have reach the maximum of files. I get back to the admin and put a bigger number, and get back to the test user and tried again, with the same result.

I saw a interesting thing when I was saving the data like an admin, it's look like when you saving the maximum number, it doesn't matter which option did you select (total, day, month, year). It's always saving the total one.

If you need to check it out here:
http://focofijo2.webcindario.com/Galeria/
test user: red
test pass: nono

I saved 2 per 24 hours.... but, when I checked back in the configuration said 2 total.

The error message says

You've reached the upload limit of 2 files .

but it has to say something like

You've reached the upload limit of 2 files total/per hour/per day/etc. 

so I assume one value isn't stored in the config. I'll check that.

I renamed a language string and forgot to rename it in the code Please try version 0.2 attached to initial post.

Something is not working.

The drop menu is working now, and it save the configuration that you put it on. But, I just try with 4 pictures in 24h, and when I logged in with the test user, I get this message:

"Error
You've reached the upload limit of 4 files per day (24 hours).
You have to wait 144 hour(s) before uploading another file. "

The last file that the test user upload was July 1, and... the hours that you have to wait can't be right. 

I made a new user

user:test
pass: test1

And I upload 4 new photos without problem, then I tried to upload the 5 one and I got:

"Error
You've reached the upload limit of 4 files per day (24 hours).
You have to wait 1 hour(s) before uploading another file. "

Should be fixed in version 0.3 (attached to initial post).

I just tried and isn't working now.

I logged in like the admin, set the plugin, set the limit to 1 per 24 hours, logged out, and logged in like the test user, upload a pictures without problem... and then another one.. and another one. I also tried with different setting like 1 total, or 1 per hours, with the same result.


By the way, I did translate to Spanish.

Thanks for your contribution. It has been added to version 0.4. I also fixed the issue (I forgot to remove my debug stuff ). Please try again version 0.4 (attached to initial post).

Works great. Thank you!!

Hi André,

I would love if you can add one more thing to this plugin.

Another factor to control the upload could be, that you can't upload anything until you make a X comment (in the last 24 hours) to other user's pictures.

In that way, if we set the number on two, you will need to write two comments in other pictures everyday in order to upload a picture.

And it will be great if we can combine the two different options, and be able to get a result like this:

You need to write 2 comments in other user's pictures (in the last 24 hours), in order to upload a picture, to the maximum of 2 upload pictures every 24 hours.


And you maybe asking yourself "Why?" I believe that in order for some users to participate and help to other users, sometimes you must have then to do it, or at the end they are going to forget about other users and only upload theirs pictures and wait for everyone to comment theirs.

Thank you!!

very nice plugin! thx!

would be really cool if you could change the limits per usergroup

[hasiko]

ok fixed that for my vbulletin bridge . perhaps someone needs it

1. I edited the codebase.php and removed the switch($CONFIG['limit_upload_time_limit'])

2. getting the usergroupid from my vbulletin table

Code Select Expand

        $usergroupid = mysql_result(cpg_db_query("SELECT usergroupid FROM user WHERE userid = ".USER_ID), 0);

3. build a new switch based on the $usergroupid

Code Select Expand

    switch($usergroupid) {
            case '6':
                $multiplicator = 24;
                break;
            case '7':
                $multiplicator = 1;
                break;
            default: $multiplicator = false; break;
           
        }

now I have different timelimits for my usergroups

Can't edit the post above. Hope I am not spamming

so here is my complete solution

Code Select Expand

        // get the vbulletinusergroupid for that user
        $usergroupid = mysql_result(cpg_db_query("SELECT usergroupid FROM user WHERE userid = ".USER_ID), 0);
       
        switch($usergroupid) {
            case 2:
                $multiplicator = 24; // Time
                $uploadlimit   = 1; // Uploadlimit for this usergroup
                break;
            case 6:
                $multiplicator = 24;
                $uploadlimit   = 2;
                break;
            case 5:
            case 6:
            case 7:
                $multiplicator = 1;
                $uploadlimit   = 2;
                break;
            default: $multiplicator = false; break;
        }



every usergroup has a different timemultiplicator and a different uploadlimit

and I had to change

Code Select Expand

        if ($count >= $CONFIG['limit_upload_upload_limit']) {

to my new $uploadlimit:

Code Select Expand

        if ($count >= $uploadlimit) {

and the errormessage for the user

from

Code Select Expand

            $error = sprintf($lang_plugin_limit_upload['limit_reached_x'], $CONFIG['limit_upload_upload_limit'], $lang_plugin_limit_upload['upload_limit_values'][$CONFIG['limit_upload_time_limit']]);


to the new uploadlimit

Code Select Expand

            $error = sprintf($lang_plugin_limit_upload['limit_reached_x'], $uploadlimit, $lang_plugin_limit_upload['upload_limit_values'][$CONFIG['limit_upload_time_limit']]);


it's not a good clean solution, because the values shouldn't be hardcoded, but it works for now

Added in svn revision 8167. Thanks for your contribution.

Hi I installed upload limit 0.4 set to 3 photos for 7 days. When, however, exceed the limit I can not even add comments to photos: (

writes me: You've reached the upload limit of 3 files per week (7 days).

[radog]

Is not possible to eliminate this problem somehow?

[Αndré]

When, however, exceed the limit I can not even add comments to photos

Open codebase.php, find

Code Select Expand

    if (!GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE && $CONFIG['limit_upload_upload_limit'] >= 0) {
and replace with

Code Select Expand

    $superCage = Inspekt::makeSuperCage();
    if ($matches = $superCage->post->getMatched('event', '/^[a-z_]+$/')) {
        $event = $matches[0];
    } elseif ($matches = $superCage->get->getMatched('event', '/^[a-z_]+$/')) {
        $event = $matches[0];
    } else {
        $event = '';
    }
    $allowed_events = array('comment_update', 'comment', 'album_update', 'album_reset');
    if (!GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE && $CONFIG['limit_upload_upload_limit'] >= 0 && !in_array($event, $allowed_events)) {


Please confirm if that works, then I'll release a new version.

[radog]

Yes thank you it works without any problems .. Thank you again for your time

[guygar]

This is a great script but I need to change it to 1 upload every 3 days or 72 hours.

How would I go about modifying this please?

I have no knowledge of PHP but eager to learn as I am good with JavaScript and C# and Java.

Thanks.
