Wrong attachment size

[darkmoon2010]

Hi,
I recognized a wrong attachment size is shown (calculated) for attachments.

You cannot view this attachment.


This wrong size is shown for all files which shouldbe attached. Enclosed you will find a screenshot.

How can this be fixed ?

SMF is on 2.1.4 and we don't have any mods active.

Best regards

I don't think that's the wrong size...

[darkmoon2010]

Why?

The attachment itself is 0,1MB and the summary shows 0,1KB and in total you can upload 4.5MB and the summary shows 4.5kb.

So for me the summary is not correct.

The enclosed hardcopy is taken from our board and not from the smf-forum. 
In our board there is a mismatch between filesize and the summary shown below the attachments.

Have you tried switching to ENGLISH?

It may be a translation eroor in the German language pack?

[darkmoon2010]

I switched to ENGLISH now and it is still the same.

I made some further investigation and the summary issue occured after updating from SMF 2.1.3 to 2.1.4.

Seems there was a change in attachment handling.

Hi Guys,
now I made some more investigation and found out the following:

I installed a fresh SMF 2.1.3 right out of the box without changing anything.
Only the settings for attachment size and amount was adjusted:

At this point the attachment summary looks pretty good. Each size for every attachment is shown correctly and also the summary is ok.

Now I performed an upgrade from SMF 2.1.3 to 2.1.4 and recognized each size for every attachment is shown correctly but the summary is wrong (kb instead of MB).

At least I installed SMF 2.1.4 right out of the box and the behaviour is still the same as after upgrading from 2.1.3 to 2.1.4. For me it looks like the conversion from kb to MB is not correct working.

Can you please check this and give me a solution ?

Thanks in advance.

Could you try clearing your browser's temporary files, or do a hard refresh on the updated forum, and check to see if this behaviour is still there after that.

[darkmoon2010]

I cleared the browser's temporary files (Safari, Chrome,...) and nothing changed.
The behaviour is still the same, sorry.

What do you mean with a hard refresh on the updated forum ?
How should I do this ?

For my test I deleted the updated forum and installed a fresh 2.1.4.on my test environment.

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

That's enough, clearing the temporary files is the better option of those two.

@Sesquipedalian Ideas? I seem to remember you were familiar with this part of the code

How odd.

I cannot reproduce the problem in my tests, so it looks like something unusual is happening with your forum in particular, @darkmoon2010.

First, let's look at what might be the simplest explanation. Please check these lines in your index.{language}.php file to make sure that they are using the correct values. (Since you said that the problem is the same in English and your primary language, this probably isn't the cause, but it is worth checking.)

If those values are correct, then we can move on to the next step, which is examining your Post.php file to see if there is anything unusual happening in it. For that, it will probably be easiest if you simply attach a copy of the file to your reply so that I can look at it. You can find the file inside the Sources folder.

Never mind, I take it all back. I was able to reproduce the problem after all. This is a bug in SMF.

@darkmoon2010, please go to this line in your Post.php file and test the following change:

Code (Find) Select Expand

text_max_size_progress: ' . JavaScriptEscape('{currentRemain} ' . ($modSettings[$type] >= 1024 ? $txt['megabyte'] : $txt['kilobyte']) . ' / {currentTotal} ' . ($modSettings[$type] >= 1024 ? $txt['megabyte'] : $txt['kilobyte'])) . ',


Code (Replace) Select Expand

text_max_size_progress: ' . JavaScriptEscape('{currentRemain} ' . ($modSettings['attachmentPostLimit'] >= 1024 ? $txt['megabyte'] : $txt['kilobyte']) . ' / {currentTotal} ' . ($modSettings['attachmentPostLimit'] >= 1024 ? $txt['megabyte'] : $txt['kilobyte'])) . ',

Hi Sesquipedalian,
this was the solution, the fix works in my test-forum and also in our productive forum.

Many thanks for the quick and professional support.

For me the case is closed.

Glad to hear it, @darkmoon2010.

I have submitted the same change for inclusion in SMF 2.1.5.

For you, that means that in order to install the 2.1.5 patch, you will first need to manually revert that line back to its original 2.1.4 version and then install the patch to reapply the change we just made.
