Is there a way to individualize the quota each user gets?
I would like to make it so that admins, and other people I select have more storage than others for uploads and the like, or do admins already have unlimited storage?

Admins have unlimited PM quotas.


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.

is there a way to make a group have unlimited quotas,but not admins? I want to be able to make a "patch/download group" so they can upload files for people on my forum to download things, or do i just have to make them admins?

Oh, you mean uploads?  Everyone is affected by that quota.  It's not member specific.

In Attach.pl, search for:

Code
	if($savedsize == 0) {


Replace with:

Code
	if($savedsize == 0 && !$members{'GROUPNAME',$username} && !$members{'GROUPNAME',$username}) {


I think that'll work .... replace GROUPNAME with the group ID (only 'Administrators' is an ID that isn't a number).  See the ID by the URL's in group center (if it doesn't tell you).

Hope it works.

getting error :

It did appear to try and upload the file, though, and only stopped when the limit was reached, so i think that was part of the problem.  

unless there is more than one occurence of if($savedsize == 0 ...

Make sure there isn't.  Also, even if it gives the error -- does it attach anywya?

Got it to work!!!

Here is what it required:

Find this code:
Code

	$savedsize = -s($savedfile);
	if($savedsize == 0) { unlink($savedfile);
		if($FORM{'tempopen'} ne '') { $error = $atext[4]; clear_temp(); return(); } else { clear_temp(); error($atext[4]); }
	}
	$savedsize = sprintf("%.2f",($savedsize/1024/1024));
	if($maxsize != 0) {
		if($maxsize < $savedsize) {
			unlink("$savedfile");
			$over = $savedsize-$maxsize;
			if($FORM{'tempopen'} ne '') { $error = $atext[5]; clear_temp(); return(); } else { clear_temp(); error($atext[5]); }
		}
	}


and change it to this:

Code


	if($savedsize == 0 && !$members{'Administrator',$username} && !$members{'6',$username}) { unlink($savedfile);
		if($FORM{'tempopen'} ne '') { $error = $atext[4]; clear_temp(); return(); } else { clear_temp(); error($atext[4]); }
	}
	$savedsize = sprintf("%.2f",($savedsize/1024/1024));
	if($maxsize != 0 && !$members{'GROUPNAME',$username} && !$members{'GROUPNAME',$username}) {
		if($maxsize < $savedsize) {
			unlink("$savedfile");
			$over = $savedsize-$maxsize;
			if($FORM{'tempopen'} ne '') { $error = $atext[5]; clear_temp(); return(); } else { clear_temp(); error($atext[5]); }
		}
	}


NOTE: change GROUPNAME to the group code, found in the admin center, as Justin said before. Otherwise it will simply ignore this and you will be left scratching your head.

I believe that what was happening was that after it checked the first time to see if I had space left, was that it was checking to see if the actual file was below the limit. Setting the second test skipped the individual file test to see if it would fit.  I would try and turn this into a mod, but I am not quite sure where to start, so if someone wanted to help me out, or to do it and then post it, that'd be great.  

also, for anyone else's reference, I did discover that you can add more groups to the "unlimited upload list" by just adding another variable
Code
&& !$members{'GROUPNAME',$username}
behind the rest of the if statement.  

another idea I had (not to add too many features or anything, just an idea) was to make it possible to integrate this into the admin center.  I would try, but I don't know perl very well, so I have the feeling that it would just destroy my forum.
