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.

qtime

Good you consider it (smf 2 version)

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

Is it correct 4,2 gig?

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?

qtime

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.

qtime

Any idea when updating for smf 2?

qtime

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

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. :)
