I am trying to adjust the maximum attachment size for some forums and the setting in the attachment section of the administration screen does not seem to change the behavior. It looks like the default 256K size is not being changed. It is defined as 256K in the class

DNN: DotNetNuke Community Edition5.4.4
Forum: 4.6.0

I upgraded to version 4.6 to fix the issue where a user restricted to only replying to an existing post could not unless you also included the start new thread permission which we don't want to do.

Has anyone else found this issue. I am over looking something?

I have set the maximum upload file size to over 8 MB

I have successfully uploaded a file > 3MB using the HTML document manager without an issue.

Thank you,

Ken

Thank  you for the note on the Telrik editor and the timeout setting in the webconfig file.  I did the set the timeout to 3600 and the same error message comes back very quickly.  I believe the default value in the config class is not being changed when the file is uploaded by the attachment controller since it is comparing to the Config.txtMaxAttachmentSize  property and I did not see anywhere else that being changed. Not totally sure of where the value in Config module would get changed.


AttachmentControl.ascx.vb - line 268

Protected Sub cmdUpload_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdUpload.Click
Try
' if no file is selected exit

If fuFile.PostedFile.FileName = String.Empty Then

Exit Sub
End If

If fuFile.PostedFile.InputStream.Length > (objConfig.MaxAttachmentSize * 1024) Then

lblMessage.Text = Localization.GetString("MaxFileSize", Me.LocalResourceFile) + objConfig.MaxAttachmentSize.ToString() + " KB"
Exit Sub

End If

RE: Avatar uploading

I saw your post and did not put the two together, but now you mention it, that does sound like the same issue. I don't know the code very well, but it appears that the setting is being saved in a database table but not pulled from the DB when the config object is being constructed.

Is there a procedure for submitting a bug/issue?

Thank you,
