Hello,

A couple of days ago, a user at the forum asked how to limit the amount of videos that can be uploaded in a day; looking at the script I found the tweak was very simple to do, so I am writing an article for all of you that would like to limit the videos to X per day. Tested in Clip-Bucket v2.6.

Difficulty level: Easy

1. Back up upload.php, located in ./*

2. Open upload.php

If you have made changes/modifications in the past to that file, please read this post for step by step instruction, so you don’t lose your previous work: http://forum.arvixe.com/smf/clip-bucket-software/limit-video-upload/msg27553/#msg27564

3. Delete everything from the file and copy paste these: (This examples limits upload to 4, to change, look for if($row >= ‘4’) and edit that number to your needs)
