Hi there

I started writing this post, then changed my PHP settings to allow > 2M uploads which solved the issue. I'm still posting it because the error messages Civi displays are confusing (it says the limit is 10M), see below. Just for feedback



I'm having some trouble uploading file attachments to notes. I have upgraded to the latest version but this didn't have any effect. When I try to upload a 2MB file I get an error saying the maximum limit is 10MB, which doesn't seem to make much sense. I did some searching on here and I've tried various bodges to sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/BAO/File.php:

Tried changing this value to 20MB:    $maxFileSize = $config->maxFileSize ? $config->maxFileSize : 2;
Tried commenting out the block beginning:       $form->addRule("attachFile_$i",
Tried commenting out this line:       $form->setMaxFileSize($maxFileSize * 1024 * 1024);
Tried adding * 10000 to the end of both lines where this is mentioned:       $form->setMaxFileSize($maxFileSize * 1024 * 1024);

Nothing makes any difference at all, except for removing the 'addRule' block, which let the action go through, but didn't actually attach the file.

Much smaller files (10KB) work fine.

Apart from anything else, one part of this file seems to set the limit at 2M, and another at 10M.

That's at 10MB. It does have a note to say php.ini should support that size, but nowhere does the script actually error on it.
