| − | ===File Upload Issues===
| |
| − | If you are having problems with creative file uploads (content zips, banner files, thumbnails) you may need to update your PHP settings. The default PHP settings will limit the size of files you can upload, and will need to be modified to allow the files you are using.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note''': 'M' stands for megabytes
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | post_max_size => 8M => 8M
| |
| − | upload_max_filesize => 2M => 2M
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | If you are uploading 10M files, both of these values should be > 10M.
| |
| − | Additional settings that could cause problems are
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | file_uploads -- must be enabled.
| |
| − | max_input_time
| |
| − | max_execution_time --must be long enough to allow the files to be uploaded and processed.
| |
| − | memory_limit -- must be ATLEAST as large as your post_max_size and upload_max_filesize settings. This affects all of php, and may need to be set higher than the others for other reasons.
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | The above code is an example of PHP code that will help you get around these file size limits.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Adding Thumbnails ==
| |
| − | In Offerit, you can choose the creative's thumbnail when you create or edit an creative. Upload the file you would like your thumbnail to be, or enter a URL from an image host of your choice.
