Edit configuration property settings to configure the maximum
number of files that can be uploaded to a single forum post.
Before you begin
To run
administrative commands, you must use the wsadmin client. For more
information, see Starting
the wsadmin client.
About this task
You can control space on the server by editing settings in
the forum-config.xml file to limit the number
of attachments that users can upload to a forum post.Note: You can
also use the <sizelimits> section of the forum-config.xml to
set a file size limit per file extension type.
Procedure
To configure the maximum number of attachments that can
be uploaded to a single post, complete the following steps.
- Start the wsadmin client from the following
directory on the system where you installed the Deployment Manager:
app_server_root/profiles/dm_profile_root/bin
where
dm_profile_root is
the Deployment Manager profile directory, typically dmgr01.
You
must start the client from this directory or else subsequent commands
that you enter might fail.
- Start the Forums Jython script interpreter.
- Use the following command
to access the Forums configuration file:
execfile("forumsAdmin.py")
If you are prompted to specify
a service to connect to, enter 1 to select
the first node in the list. Most commands can run on any node. If
the command specifies a file by using a local file path, select the
node where the file is stored.
- Check out the Forums configuration
files by using the following command:
ForumsConfigService.checkOutConfig("working_directory",
"cell_name")
ForumsConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/my_temp_dir",
"ForumServerNode01Cell")
- Open the forum-config.xml file using
a text editor.
- Edit the
<max-number-attachment-per-post>
element
in the <objectStore>
section of the file to set
the maximum number of attachments that can be uploaded per post.
For example, to set the maximum number of attachments per
post to 6, you edit the file as follows:
<objectStore>
...
<max-number-attachment-per-post>6</max-number-attachment-per-post>
...
</objectStore>
You can also set the file size limits per mime type
using the <sizeLimits> setting.
- Save your changes and close the forum-config.xml file.
- After making changes, you must check the configuration
files back in, and you must do so during the same wsadmin session
in which you checked them out for the changes to take effect. See Applying
property changes in Forums for information about how to save
and apply your changes.
