Large attachments and uploading psd's...

[MLM]

I am trying to attach a 80mb file to one of my threads on my forum but it does not work because my php config only allows 10mb and I can not manually add it/ ftp because I have no idea how to make a file_hash in the db.

My second problem is that I can never attach a psd no matter the size because this error pops:

Code Select Expand

Your attachment has failed security checks and cannot be uploaded. Please consult the forum administrator.


Is there any fixes to these problems?

A file that large will most likely need to be zipped and uploaded to your FTP server.
I have never been able to get mine past 32MB, but I zip, upload and link large files anyway.

The large file is zipped.

but any size psd just gives me an error when i try to upload even on this site..

Since host are different, ask your host how to increase your max upload size.....or do a google search, but it is usually complicated and sometimes requires Putty. I did mine with a custom php.ini, but it is limited to 32MB on my server.

ye, I asked my host and they changed the max upload size but the post_max_size needs to be increased as well so waiting on that.

but anways i also need a hand with that psd not attaching..

So in a vanilla version of RC5 and also here, I tried to upload a simple PSD. On the vanilla one, All attachments are allowed but the PSD generated the message you provided. Tried to post the same file here earlier and got the same message.

Glad i'm not the only one 

Anybody got a reason why?

admin -> attachments and avatars -> attachment settings is psd in the allowed attachment extensions list? if not please add it and try again.

I did that on my vanilla RC5:
Attachments mode=Enable all attachments
Allowed attachment extensions=doc,gif,jpg,mpg,pdf,png,txt,zip,psd

Tried to attach the same file in a reply here and got the same message.

Anyone have a solution or a reason why?

Alright, I have been working very hard on this but all that needs to happen is that the preg will ignore these two cases:

• Script 0
• cellTextIsHTMLbool

BTW, the preg i am talking about is on the Subs-Graphics.php in the checkImageContents() function.

-nod- that is it. Since I'm not good with regular expressions, I can't help you I'm afraid. Hope a teamie picks up on this soon...

Most people do not have access to the php.ini and the htaccess override doesnt work..

The filesize issue is one that can only be handled on the server side - SMF can not override such limits from the host.

The PSD one, seems like SMF is handling it as any other image - and is trying to perform some checks to make sure it actually is an imagefile, and these checks fail for some reason.
What reason exactly, I do not know - but if it fails here as well, then there is probably something wrong with either the file, or the checks performed to it.

I'll link this topic to the devs, so they can take a look at this.

Thanks for the reply. I kinda have found a way about the large attachments: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=434237

but the psd has still been stumping me, I hope the devs can fix it.

It can happen that some images do not pass the security checks, it's unavoidable at some point (we had even more extensive checks in an earlier version, but have moved those to another configuration option in admin panel, so enabling them is admin's choice), because images may sometimes contain sequences that are very often found in dangerous scripts, and as such, SMF filters them.
Yet, it shouldn't happen to all .psd images...
I'll take a look at these images here.
