Summary

This mod allows you to set download quotas per day for your users, instead of uncapped download ability (the default SMF behaviour)

Mod Defaults

Administrators = No quota
Global Moderators = No quota
Moderators = 10 MB

Other Groups = 0 MB

In other words, most user groups will have to have to values modified.


Any download that would put a user over their quota is not allowed - this adds a note to the forum error log.

Quotas are in KB rather than bytes as of version 1.2 of the mod.


Installation

Package Manager should work in most cases.  Manual edits may be needed for themes that modify the Admin Panel / Manage Membergroups area; all other edits are generic (language files) or core source files.

wow many thanks, I was waiting for this mod for a long time, even bought vB for this function.
But like to see this working on smf2, any change??

I have the "old" version, is it just uininstall, install new version?

good work. ;)

Arantor you have now 2 requests for you to port this to smf 2.0 :)

Good you consider it (smf 2 version)

Is there a way to display the actual download of a member that day in kb? or %?

Quote from: Arantor on August 12, 2009, 06:35:19 PM
qtime: no. It is on the to-do list though.

ok thanks for your fast reply, so you still working on this mod?

the max limit is 4294967295 (4,2 gig), I need it as 10 gig, is that possible?

Is it correct 4,2 gig?

Quote from: Arantor on August 15, 2009, 02:51:18 PM
Yes, the limit is 4.2GB.

You're allowing 10GB per day a limit? That's some serious bandwidth you have if multiple users can each download > 10 GB of attachments in a day.

Off the top of my head, you should just be able to modify the column in MySQL to a bigint.

thanks for fast reply
I was searching in the smf_membergroups table, where to search/find?

GREAT, for now it's perfect!!! 4 gig is a lot. I use this to avoid password sharing and giving the content.

This is a great job. I don't see many replies, it's much used in VB as a plugin.

Any idea when updating for smf 2?

ok thanks for your quick reply, the 4 gig is less important for me, but smf2 will be much appreciated / donated :).

Please make an smf2 version... this mod is a must have for me... my forum has 120GB+ attachments... i really need this... pls pls pls...

how to manage other membergroups? i mean to setting the quota... i used non default themes

Hi Arantor:

Nice MOD, and very usefull. I think will be better if you put in the top below welcome message the download limits.

Example:

Hi, Admin. You have X messages and X are new.
You have 5000 Kb. remaining for downloads of a total of 10000 per day.

That's will be GREAT ... ;)

I have a similar MOD on my web and it's very usefull for members, so they can administrate their downloads.

Thanks a lot for reading :)

@ diegolyanky what kind of mod you are using at your site? (if it's smf).

QTIME:

Yes, is SMF ... It's a mod developed specially for me. Like this mod, but with some more features.

Arantor:

Thanks a lot for your reply. I understand you, but if you make a MOD you must make time to maintain that mod. If you have not time, then make it !! ... ( it's just a joke ;) ) ...

Only was a comment, I know you will do it when you have time. :)

 ;)

I also need a "Personal MOD Developer" ( paid ;) )

Let me know trought PM if are you interested :)

Have any possible to change MB for number of files?

For exemple:

You can download 3 files per day.. it does not matter the files size..

Because in my forum i have lite files (100kb) and big files (10mb).. and if i set 10mb quota, 1 user can download 1 file only, and other can download (maybe) 100 files..

is a big modification? or is simple? i dont have a idea.. but, anyway, i love this mod.. tks.. maybe in the next future, anyone made this changes.. :P

Tks guys, and sorry for bad english....

:D

Happy new year!!!  8)

I uploaded the mod to the packages folder but... Strangely enough I don't see any [Apply Mod] link. Just [ List Files ] [ Delete ]... Any ideas about why that is?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply! :)

Mod version 1.2 (latest) and SMF 1.1.10.

This mod only supports 2.0RC2 and 1.1.11 and it will only be updated when the next release of SMF comes out(I hope in the summer).

Does that mean that by updating the Mod to fit SMF 1.1.11 it stops working with the previous version of SMF? Isn't the mode backwards compatible? Not even to the previous version? Why aren't earlier Mod versions available?

One shouldn't be forced to update SMF... If an older version od the Mod existed and was compatible with 1.1.10, then it should still be available IMHO.

Thanks for pointing out this solution! :)

It's not like I won't be upgrading to 1.1.11... I should be doing that in a near future. I even have tried to do so already but bumped into several obstacles. The upgrade failed for the already well known error in Subs.php and I have several Mods that use Subs.php.

Therefore I believe I will have to wait untill I have time (maybe a whole day) just to perform this update and overcome all the predictable obstacles. I have a live website with more than 3000 members and considerable activity... I can't afford to jam my website and have to leave it jammed for a long period.

I have the orginal version 1.0 for 1.1.9 (paid arantor for it) that works also on 1.10. Because board has problems updating to 1.11 I just wait, don't want smf 2.0 and losing my mods I appriciate more then the changes made to smf, which are often conflicting with mods.

This modification has been updated to version 1.3, now working in SMF 2.0 RC3!

I upgraded to the latest version of this mod, it is working on my homepage but I am receiving this error when I try to access it in the admin
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare modifysitemapsettings() (previously declared in /home/fantasy1/public_html/forum/Sources/ManageSettings.php:2042) in /home/fantasy1/public_html/forum/Sources/ManageSettings.php on line 2104

That's a problem with Sitemap (I think). I think you should ask for support there.

You can also uninstall this mod and try to log in again.

What version of SMF are you running?

I have problem something wrong happened. I wonder update RC3 is better. who help me someone fix on website problem, I don't know how fix on something wrong problem. I am struggle on someting wrong RC3 I need update I have who is specialist to help me let know me solve my update RC3 I am consider?

To stop people downloading your attachments to converse your bandwidth?

To be able to host lots of big files but make people wait to be able to download them to pace out bandwidth usage?

/me doesn't really know, doesn't care, wrote it last year as a paid request.

how much do you change for paid requests?

Will this install on 1.1.12

So in the package-info

Change
<install for="1.1.11">

To
<install for="1.1.12">

Quote from: Arantor on February 10, 2011, 11:03:15 AM
IIRC I used a generic version number in this one originally that should work on any 1.1.x version.

How do i do that ?

ok, will give it a go .. thanks...

I have another Ques  :-\ With regards to download quota that this mod can limit, are they talking the overall loading of images/attachments ??? or is it specifically dealing with people using right click, save image as ???

Hmm... ok, not gonna be of much use to me then .. will just prevent guest from viewing attachments which should also present hot-linking to posted pics

*shrug* I wrote this because someone asked me to, not because it was useful to anyone else.

O ok, never realized you were the original author, well it has good use, just that limited registered members on my site would be kinda unfair, but i definitely see the uses in many other situations.

Ad the option to let it detect save file as and this would be money :O)

Not possible to do reliably.

Owell ... kool

How to deal with settings for guests? They are not in the list of membergroups

Quote from: Arantor on February 14, 2011, 11:53:20 AM
There's no way to give guests a quota since there's no good way to track them.

ok, maybe the same way as this modification http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1290

but I understand the problem.

waiting for SMF 2 gold

He wrote it for me, now I'm in the process of updating to rc3 and forgot to uninstall the old version (manually because it had no uninstall), and get modification parse errror when installing your package.

Have to check what old settings it used, delete those and see if your package works....grrrrr

Please update it vor 2.02 or later

Just a note, I realise this mod is old and unsupported.

Downloaders should know there's a bug that took a while to surface: any member with 0 download quota, such as guests or new members, will eventually start seeing forum Avatars disappear.

EDIT: Ignore me, I've just figured out the prob. This happens because Avatars are stored in the attachments folder by default, which is where the quota limit reads from. Doh!

I've just gone into attachement settings and created a new URL path for avatars to be stored in, and reuploaded. So far so good. Apologies for bumping an old thread, hopefully this will help someone who encounters the same prob.

how can we change the daily limit to monthly limit.. can anyone help. :)

Not without some fairly nasty changes. It's all designed around a daily limit.

Any one successful in making daily limit to monthly limit 8), anyone have an idea regarding this which you could share with me to make it to monthly limit ??  :)

Let's say we choose 1000 kb. What if the upload it 1200 kb, does that mean they will never be able to download that file?

Hi Arantor:

I need to disable download quota from an specific boards ...

How can I do it? I am using SMF 2.0RC3 version.

Thanks a lot!

The mod works per user, not per board. Or at least that says on the description.

You'd have to completely rewrite it to do that.
