upload large images - not as files

OK. my PHP.ini is modified (values at end of post) All limits are pretty big…but I’m still getting the following error when I try to upload a 4MB image file through the “images” tab: file exceeds limit set in textpattern’s preferences

max_file_size in advances prefs is: 838860800

using 4.0.2. I didn’t think there was a hardcoded size restriction for images in this version.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Re: upload large images - not as files

I’m using the latest textpattern release as well, but the help still says “Image Uploads are not restricted by this value. The maximum allowed size for images is always ~ 1MB (unless restricted by PHP as explained above).” next to the file size edit bit.

This is in desperate need of a fix or a workaround. If I can’t upload large images in the 4-6 mb range, textpattern will be useless to me.

Martinship,

Hang tight…there is a thread on how to fix this. I’ll see if I can find it for you.
I’ve got it working perfectly now…I uploaded a 10MB image and it worked fine.

OK…I can’t find the thread, but here’s what I have in the comments of my site.
I believe it was sencer who gave me this solution, so you know it’s from a good source.

I hope this helps.

In textpattern/lib/txplib_html.php replace
function upload_form($label, $pophelp, $step, $event, $id=’‘, $max_file_size = ‘1000000’)

with (for example):
function upload_form($label, $pophelp, $step, $event, $id=’‘, $max_file_size = ‘4000000’)

P.S. Make sure you have changed all the neccessary values in your php.ini file. I think the values that need changed are listed in the FAQ somewhere.
