Coding a User Files Upload Quota
By aimash
Hello,
I am new to ELGG. and trying to limit users file upload quota to 1GB / User, so thats users cannot upload more than 1GB / ACCOUNt , also I would like to show the progress of it in a DIV like a progress bar about how much space he has left, can anyone please help me out here to how can I do this ? I saw this feature in the TidyPics Gallery Plugin , but I want this for all files. Also I want to make a referral system in ELGG , which I still have not seen in any plugin, when some invites a friend and that friends accept the invite , then the user gets points increase or for example his upload quota increases.

You must log in to post replies.Tidypics stores the quota count as metadata on the user. Each time a file is uploaded, the total is increased. You'd need to create your own custom verson of the file plugin or override one or two of its views and an action or two.
Hi,
There is already a plugin which let you set in the administration tools a disk quota per member (the same for all for the moment).
When a user upload a file : there is an box indicating the remaining disk space, if exceeded, redirection to manage its files to delete as appropriate and return to space.
You can find this plugin here : http://www.elgg.fr/pg/file/odutel/read/42357/plugin-files-incluant-un-quota-membre (works on version 1.5)

I am using this plugin. And this has great functionality to assign disk quota to all user.
Thanks
