MIME Type / media folders / upload

you can have a upload time limit too not only in size

Hello,
In CPANEL there's no time limit.
Looked to see in flexicontent component but didn't find that configuration!

The upload process reaches 100% according to flexicontent component, yet sometimes the uploaded file reaches to 462mb, other times it reaches to 460mb! Yet all the tests I made, the uploaded files are corrupt; after upload the files, I download them and all gave error.

Nevertheless, despite the size of the uploaded file, it should appear in the flexicontent file list and it doesn't appear, it's like there was no file uploaded!

Probably I'll use the joomla media manager, it's more stable and easier to manage.

Hello

First try this
- in the modal popup window
click to use simple uploader

Probably I'll use the joomla media manager, it's more stable and easier to manage

FLEXIcontent upload process uses an AJAX uploader that uploads in chunks (pieces)
that allows you to upload a file size according to Flexicontent configuration regardless of PHP size limits

Joomla media manager use a plain browser upload field
thus it needs no contatenation at end of the upload process

- either you are hitting a PHP memory limit when upload is near end
- or the contenation to single file is timeout PHP max execution time
- or (small chance) the tmp space in server is limited

these are due to your server limitation and not due to FC

in J4 with new joomla media manager with AJAX uploading you will have similar issue

Try this increase
PHP execution time (60 or 90 seconds)
PHP memory limit to ?

Please don't get me wrong. This is a extraordinary tool, and I'm not tired of recommend it to everyone I talk.
But sometimes, in order to show a lot of features, we tend to forget somethings that are so obvious, and also we forget that many times "less is more".
In this case I can't understand why a simple folder manager doesn't exist! Also why the manager doesn't read folders or files uploaded directly to the server!
Now a days, with the net speed, I'm not really interested in having thumbnail creation! ... but ok, it's there, nice. But not having things so simple and necessary as those I mentioned above it's so weird!
Thanks

we didn't do this because adding to db allow :
=> ACL rules
=> checking where file are used
=> creating advanced field for front end
=> number of value
=> file peer user
Ordering by size by download etc...
with a too simple file field we can't do this ..
as say georgios, in next release you can use joomla media manager or use url importing ( you can use pattern to scan a comlet folder)
Maybe you Can use select field in multivalue and create a SQL request to find file in dB ?
