File upload size won't work/ help

Hi,

If HikaShop show 16M, it means that either the option post_max_size or the option upload_max_filesize of your php.ini are set to 16M. Both need to be increased in order to be able to upload files larger than 16M. Your hosting probably just increased one of the two options and jdownloads just base itself on that one to display the restriction to you.
You should ask your hosting to modify both setting.

Hi,

HikaShop only displays the limit of your server. If it displays 2M, it's because your server is restricting the upload to 2M. As long as you see 2M displayed by HikaShop, it means that your server didn't take into account your modifications or that you have another option to change.

Please note that the post_max_size option of your php.ini is also taken into account for the upload of files. So if you have upload_max_filesize set to 10M but post_max_size set to only 2M, the result is still a limit at 2M.

Most of the other components just check for upload_max_filesize and not for post_max_size.
That's probably why.
Again, please check the value of post_max_size in your php.ini

That message is displayed by the code:
<?php echo JText::sprintf('MAX_UPLOAD',(hikashop_bytes(ini_get('upload_max_filesize')) > hikashop_bytes(ini_get('post_max_size'))) ? ini_get('post_max_size') : ini_get('upload_max_filesize')); ?>

in the file "selectimage" of the view "product" that you can edit via the menu Display->Views in HikaShop.
As you can set, HikaShop just displays the biggest value between post_max_size and upload_max_filesize which are returned by PHP.
If you want, you can remove that line and not have that message, you can put another message also. But that won't change the upload limit of your server.
Again, this is just something displayed by HikaShop so that you know the upload limit of your server. Whether you display that message or not, the limit is the same, for any component.

If you're not able to continue after the first step, it's likely because you didn't configure properly your shipping/payment plugins. You can check the FAQ on payment/shipping configuration there:

For the 2M limit, as I said, the limit is NOT in HikaShop. If you can't upload more that 2M file in HikaShop, it should be the same for all other components on your website. You should contact your hosting company. They will tell you how to increase that limit if possible.

Sure. You can upload a smaller file in your product and then, via FTP, upload the big file in the folder media/com_hikashop/upload/safe over the file you added via the interface.

What is the message in your own language ? Knowing the folder paths might help.
