For the moment you need to edit the file "components/com_hikamarket/controllers/product.php" and replace Code: if($vendor_id > 1) $options['sub_folder'] = 'vendor'.$vendor_id.DS; By Code: if($vendor_id > 1) { $options['sub_folder'] = 'vendor'.$vendor_id.DS; $options['max_file_size'] = 400*1024; // 400K } in order to set the max file size that the vendor have the right to upload in the front-end. About the parameters for the image, the HikaShop image configuration is used for that, so if you put a restriction for your vendors, it will restrict your uploads in the backend too.

It uses the HikaShop upload system and the controller "order" which made all checks for all custom fields. Because HikaMarket is using the HikaShop custom field system, it does not have the control of the upload. So it's something to change into HikaShop. The idea I got was to extend the "ajax file" and "ajax image" in order to add new options. These options could then be loaded in the controller and set to the upload setting data. You can open the file "components/com_hikashop/controllers/order.php" and check the function "getUploadSetting". You will see that the custom field is loaded and his settings are checked. You can add your "max_file_size" option depending the name of the custom field ; in order to wait for the improvement for the "ajax file/image" configuration.
