Thread: Max File Size in Document Manager

Hello,

In V9 when you are in document manager and trying to upload a file or image it reads "Max file size allowed 200.00 Kb". I need to change this to a larger size. How do I do this? I searched here in the forums but couldn't find the answer. Can't find any appconfigs using "max, or file size, etc"

Thanks
James

If you need to override the default max file sizes, you'll have to open the file that the RAD editor is being used on (for example topic.aspx, entityEditProducts.aspx, etc) and find this line:

Code:

<tcontrol:RadEditor runat="server" RadControlsDir="rad" id="radDescription">

....and add the desired 'MaxUploadFileSize' attribute(s). There are 3 - DocumentManager-MaxUploadFileSize, MediaManager-MaxUploadFileSize, and ImageManager-MaxUploadFileSize:

Code:

<tcontrol:RadEditor runat="server" DocumentManager-MaxUploadFileSize="512000" MediaManager-MaxUploadFileSize="512000" ImageManager-MaxUploadFileSize="512000" RadControlsDir="rad" id="radDescription">

Hi,

I have looked in those files which I find in the /Admin folder but there is no such line for the radeditor file size.

Only reference in those files to radeditor looks like:
<telerik:radeditor id="radSummary"

and a few other similar references with telerik.

Sorry, if I am misunderstanding what you are saying. Where do I find the files you are talking about?

This is v9

Thanks for your help.

The size attributes aren't in there by default, that's the point - you have to add them. :-)

Search for this line (the one you referenced was for the summary, you want description):

<tcontrol:RadEditor runat="server" RadControlsDir="rad" id="radDescription">

...and add those filesize attributes.

Yes, thank you. I thought I searched for that bug obviously not as I did just find it. Worked perfectly, thank you for your help!

Hi,

I am using ML 9.0.1.3 but I did not find this line <tcontrol:RadEditor runat="server" RadControlsDir="rad" id="radDescription"> in entityEditProducts.aspx file. I found this line
<telerik:radeditor id="radDescription" runat="server" editable="true">

I changed this line to
<telerik:radeditor id="radDescription" runat="server" editable="true" DocumentManager-MaxUploadFileSize="51200000" MediaManager-MaxUploadFileSize="51200000" ImageManager-MaxUploadFileSize="51200000">

but it doesn't work. I tested using a file of 2.26MB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Doru

Is it possible that there is a global configuration setting for this?

In EntityEditProduct.aspx, there are two sections of telerik:radeditor there: (1) telerik:radeditor id="radSummary" (2) <telerik:radeditor id="radDescription", to make sure add the "MaxUploadFileSize" attribute on both.

By default, the maximum size of a file to be uploaded to the server using ASP.NET is around 4MB even if you have set MaxUploadFileSize > 4MB, due to security restrictions of the ASP.NET Framework. To set a larger size limit, you should make some changes in either the web.config or machine.config file:

i.e.

Code:

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="90" maxRequestLength="4096" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false" minFreeThreads="8" minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4" appRequestQueueLimit="100"
/>

so if i added the MaxUploadFileSize I would edit both lines like so:

<telerik:radeditor id="radDescription" runat="server" editable="true" DocumentManager-MaxUploadFileSize="51200000" MediaManager-MaxUploadFileSize="51200000" ImageManager-MaxUploadFileSize="51200000">
<telerik:radeditor id="radSummary" runat="server" editable="true" DocumentManager-MaxUploadFileSize="51200000" MediaManager-MaxUploadFileSize="51200000" ImageManager-MaxUploadFileSize="51200000">
