A fellow follower of our Blog, recently asked for a way of limiting the maximum number of videos a user can upload. In this article, I will show you how you can do just that! This article has been tested in version 2.6 of Clip-Bucket.

1. Open ./upload.php

2. Find

if(has_access('allow_video_upload',false,$verify_logged_user))
{

after that, add the following code

$video_limit = 10; //Change this as per your needs
	if($userquery->get_user_field(userid(),"total_videos") =< $video_limit) {

4. Where it says $video_limit = 10;, modify the 10 to the limit you want to set per user.

5. Find

$Cbucket->add_js(array('swfupload/plugins/fileprogress.js'=>'uploadactive'));

and after that, add the following code

} else { 
		header("Location: ".BASEURL);
	}

6. Save & Upload

There you go! Once a user has exceeded that limit, it won’t be able to upload. You can make this modification more user friendly by showing them a message saying they couldn’t upload because they have exceeded the limit of X uploads per user.

If you get stuck at any step or need some assistance, do let me know and I’ll be more than glad to help you out.
