Question Multiple Upload To Single ?

Hi, Does anybody know if there is anyway of changing the upload option from multiple to single per post. I have noticed that once one attachment has been added another box appears for another to be added. I don't want my members getting carried away uploading endless attachments in one post.

Many Thanks in Advance

Honestly, I would not worry about that. If a user wants to add more photos, or docs it will only make your forum more valuable. Let em upload all they want!

Yes I can see what you mean, but the only file that my users can upload is mp3 and I didn't want one post full of mp3's also would be nice to have a available option for how many files a members can upload per post.

I agree with you, hayden. Seems like we can't win on this, can we?

With K 1.0 and K 1.5 people complained because it was difficult to upload several images and attachments at the same time. The project team listened to these complaints and K 1.6 now gives people the ability to upload several images/attachments when they post to the forum.

I sometimes think that people worry too much about what they think their users might do. I have often written that you cannot control people with technology. No matter how hard you try, people do not want to be controlled. So don't try to. It's much easier and better to respect people as adults and to allow them to use their own judgement. This website tries to do that and we don't have any of these kinds of problems.

Wow ! that's a bit deep,left me sozzled :blink: Was only asking if there could be an option available or a simple code edit. I know on these free forum php boards you can join they give out this option for how many files per user, per upload, per post. Not really about controlling, more of an option to cater for each individual how they want to run their own website

Counterpoint: resources are finite based on the amount of money invested in your host. Limits are put into place to ensure that those resources do not get hogged by people who don't know any better. Nothing wrong with implementing a limit on the number of attachments in a single post. Not only does it prevent those resources from being hogged, but it also prevents pages from becoming bloated with pictures and such (which dramatically slows page load).

I wish Kunena allowed us to define a maximum attachment limit per post in the backend.
