For SMF 2.02 to exempt the admin from upload size limits and file extension checks: Basically just add !$user_info['is_admin'] && to all these checks...

In Sources/Post.php:
FIND:

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($modSettings['attachmentSizeLimit']) && $_FILES['attachment']['size'][$n] > $modSettings['attachmentSizeLimit'] * 1024)
fatal_lang_error('file_too_big', false, array($modSettings['attachmentSizeLimit']));

$quantity++;
if (!empty($modSettings['attachmentNumPerPostLimit']) && $quantity > $modSettings['attachmentNumPerPostLimit'])
fatal_lang_error('attachments_limit_per_post', false, array($modSettings['attachmentNumPerPostLimit']));

$total_size += $_FILES['attachment']['size'][$n];
if (!empty($modSettings['attachmentPostLimit']) && $total_size > $modSettings['attachmentPostLimit'] * 1024)
fatal_lang_error('file_too_big', false, array($modSettings['attachmentPostLimit']));

if (!empty($modSettings['attachmentCheckExtensions']))
{
if (!in_array(strtolower(substr(strrchr($_FILES['attachment']['name'][$n], '.'), 1)), explode(',', strtolower($modSettings['attachmentExtensions']))))
fatal_error($_FILES['attachment']['name'][$n] . '.<br />' . $txt['cant_upload_type'] . ' ' . $modSettings['attachmentExtensions'] . '.', false);
}


REPLACE with:

Code Select Expand

if (!$user_info['is_admin'] && !empty($modSettings['attachmentSizeLimit']) && $_FILES['attachment']['size'][$n] > $modSettings['attachmentSizeLimit'] * 1024)
fatal_lang_error('file_too_big', false, array($modSettings['attachmentSizeLimit']));

$quantity++;
if (!$user_info['is_admin'] && !empty($modSettings['attachmentNumPerPostLimit']) && $quantity > $modSettings['attachmentNumPerPostLimit'])
fatal_lang_error('attachments_limit_per_post', false, array($modSettings['attachmentNumPerPostLimit']));

$total_size += $_FILES['attachment']['size'][$n];
if (!$user_info['is_admin'] && !empty($modSettings['attachmentPostLimit']) && $total_size > $modSettings['attachmentPostLimit'] * 1024)
fatal_lang_error('file_too_big', false, array($modSettings['attachmentPostLimit']));

if (!$user_info['is_admin'] && !empty($modSettings['attachmentCheckExtensions']))
{
if (!in_array(strtolower(substr(strrchr($_FILES['attachment']['name'][$n], '.'), 1)), explode(',', strtolower($modSettings['attachmentExtensions']))))
fatal_error($_FILES['attachment']['name'][$n] . '.<br />' . $txt['cant_upload_type'] . ' ' . $modSettings['attachmentExtensions'] . '.', false);
}

FIND:

Code Select Expand

// Check the total upload size for this post...
$total_size += $_FILES['attachment']['size'][$n];
if (!empty($modSettings['attachmentPostLimit']) && $total_size > $modSettings['attachmentPostLimit'] * 1024)
{
checkSubmitOnce('free');
fatal_lang_error('file_too_big', false, array($modSettings['attachmentPostLimit']));
}

REPLACE with:

Code Select Expand

// Check the total upload size for this post...
$total_size += $_FILES['attachment']['size'][$n];
if (!$user_info['is_admin'] && !empty($modSettings['attachmentPostLimit']) && $total_size > $modSettings['attachmentPostLimit'] * 1024)
{
checkSubmitOnce('free');
fatal_lang_error('file_too_big', false, array($modSettings['attachmentPostLimit']));
}

Doesn´t seem to work for me. I´m the main and only administrator of my forum and although I made the changes to Post.php I´m not able to upload more and bigger files as defined in the attachment settings. Using SMF 2.0.2.

Any ideas?

For me neither.  I'm using 2.0.2, just made exactly the edits shown above, but nothing happened...

Any update here?

[mybiafraland]

waiting for update as well

Hi, look in Subs-Post.php for the same set of checks and make the recommended change to those also.
Except, instead of !$user_info['is_admin'] use !$context['user']['is_admin']

A smoother way I told here:

The reason it doesn't work is it's incomplete.  Modifications must be made to the Themes/default/Post.template.php as well....

I've posted up a mod based on this thread with all my modifications (9 operations total) here: No Attachment Limit for Admins.  It hasn't been approved yet....

[dougiefresh]

It occurs to me that the admin check could be converted into a permission-based group thingy.....

[dougiefresh]

No attachment limits for membergroups mod has been released, if anyone is interested......
