Hello,

To change this size take the below steps.

1. Open the file - admin(or your folder name for the administrative area)/tabs/AdminAttachments.php

At this stage I suggest making a backup of the file just in case you change something your not supposed to.

2. Around line 18 you will see:

class AdminAttachments extends AdminTab
{
   protected $maxFileSize  = 2000000;

3. Change "2000000" to "8000000" (Exclude quotes), basically change the 2 to a 8.

4. Save the file and upload it back to your server.

Now, to note - if your server only allows 2Mb as a maximum upload size you will also have to change your php settings. So if this still does not work, you will need to investigate your max upload size with your webhost.

Hi have upped the filesize as above, and trying to upload both as a zip and exe file - both have same problem - error messages as:
3 errors
the field file is required
the field mime is required
the field name is required at least in English (English)

This does not happen with smaller file as pdf - any idea why this is happening

Thanks
Baz

Am beginning to wonder if anyone from Presta team ever reads this forum. Ther do seem to be a somewhat large incidence of questions that attract no response - Pity since owing to a lack of documentation this seems to be the only place to try and get a cogent answer to a question!

It is a great cart, with many excellent features, but the lack of adequate documentation is a real hindrance to it becoming more of an accepted choice for many people, and in my case is rapidly turning me off it!

Surely it would not be too much to ask for improved user guide/forum response at this stage of development - unless I am the only user who feels this to be an issue?

I mean no offense ukbaz but keep in mind that Prestashop is free software and you are already receiving the benefits of a massive amount of man hours if you are using the product at all. If you need something beyond what is on offer you should consider supporting the project monetarily or rolling up your sleeves yourself to help. For the record, I am *not* a Prestashop developer so I am not speaking for them as much as pointing out the fact that you should be thankful that these folks offer this codebase for free.

Prestashop from what I have seen so far is very easy to read as far as the source is concerned and the code itself looks reasonably well documented. If you encounter an error, you can search the source code for it and in the few cases I have tried so far I was able to nail down the general reason for the error quite quickly.

The original problem here was due to file upload file size sanity limits (a good thing) in the Prestashop code. Your error might be related but it is not 100% clear to me what you are doing. From the error message though it sounds like file you uploaded did not make it through the sanity checks for file type. My guess would be that "zip" and "exe" are not allowed file types or your local browser has messed up MIME types and the file extensions were not such that the upload script could figure out what you uploaded.

Finally, any such error report is mostly useless if you do not include the version of Prestshop you are talking about.

Cheers

Codegrunt - Open source carts are widely available, and have used several before - the vast majority of which come with considerably more detailed documentation than is available for Prestashop. Unless you have access to a source other than those available on this forum.

I have no axe to grind with the product - indeed it was meant to be constuctive criticism - I am not the first to have voiced this view, and doubt whether I shall be the last.

Any software that seeks to become mainstream must inevitably have thorough documentation - and perhaps a poll of how adequate the majority of users view the current state of this would be useful.

Actually I was stuck not being able to attach docs larger than 2M (even I have setup my PHP upload limits higher enough)...

Editing the $maxFileSize in the ADMIN_FOLDER/tabs/AdminAttachments.php did the trick. Thanks!
