Increase image upload from 40

miles · 2023-03-02 10:41:56

Hello TXP

How can I increase the 40 upload limit on the images tab?

I didn’t realize there was a limit? You mean the number of files you can upload in one go? That might be system/connection dependent. Or the total size of uploads? Must admit I’ve never tried uploading more than a small handful.

Hi Mate,

Yeah when I try to upload more than 40 it only uploads 40. It’s for a photographers website and they upload around 50-100 in one go. Do I need to edit a php.ini file or something do you think?

Maybe. It might be some limit on the maximum payload size. But I thought the images were uploaded in the background via Ajax, one by one. Hmmm. Maybe more testing is required here to see if it’s system dependent or a Textpattern limit.

I’ve just uploaded 51 large images without any problem on localhost.

I just did 250 × ~8MB JPGs on a web-side 4.8.8 instance, no drama.

Edit: well, the green confirmation dialog is so tall that I can’t see the × to close it…but I can live with that.

Gonna see if ~~1,000~~ 2,000 works…

Edit: confirmed working with 2,000 images uploaded. Admin-side was semi-DOS’d after I deleted some older images during the second upload session…but I can live with that.

Thanks for testing, guys. Okay so looks like it’s a system thing on miles’ end. Any thoughts on what it might be?

Hehe, all hail the Escape key ;)

(if windows) maybe you need to check file name length, long file name less number of files, short file names many more.

Maybe we should move the x to the bottom? The average user may not know of the escape key.

The average user won’t be uploading that many images…

Or a combination of giving the message pane a max-height, and pinning the close button at a fixed point? Roughly:

.messagepane > span {
  overflow: auto;
  max-heigh: 80vh;
}

.close .ui-icon {
  top: min(50% 20vh);
}

The message pane on Hive might need to some extra massaging.

Demo with Sandspace. I made the messagepane (much) shorter for demo purposes.

Thanks for all your replies and testing. Very odd situation. Tried many times but it only ever uploads a maximum of 42. I have tried increasing post_max_size, upload_max_filesize and max_execution_time in the php settings but made no difference. I used to use the droploader plugin and worked fine but since I upgraded TXP to the latest version and change servers I can only get 42 to upload!

Have you checked if the settings in Admin > Preferences >admin sub tab -> “Maximum file size of uploads (in bytes)”. It should reflect what php.ini tells, IIRC. – and that only applies to the individual object(image), I think.

Other thought: do you use any image related plugin that might interfere here?
