allowed maximum size of sub groups not set

[cpaschen]

I have quite a number of user groups, with multiple layers.

I have the following group heierarchy:

Public
> Registered
>> Committee
>>> Security Team

(So 'Security Team' is under the 'Committee' group, which is under the 'Registered' group).

In the User Groups Settings for the Security Team I set the Group Creation/Editing Settings>Maximum File Size in KB to 40960 (which is within the global limits of the server config).

However, on the front-end it still shows: Allowed maximum size: 5120 KB

If I change the 'Committee' maximum ... same issue (no change on front-end).

If I change the 'Registered' group maximum ... then the front end changes to whatever is in the 'Registered' group maximum.

After testing several values - it appears that only the 'Registered' level (i.e. 2nd level) group setting has any impact on the sub groups. No matter what I set Registered at and Security Team it only ever shows what was set for the Registered level.

I'm using:

Joomla 3.9.4
jDownloads 3.2.64
PHP 7.1.27
Apache 2.4.29 (hosted on Siteground)
Mysql 5.6.36-82

Hi,
excuse the delay.

In the documentation can you find very detailed examples about group hirarchies.
Important is the right configuration in the jDownloads User Groups Settings.
Please note that this settings are not inherited. For every group must the values set separately.

Hi

What ranking have you set for the Committee and Security team in their User Groups Settings??I would suggest 123 for Committee and 145 for Security team

Thanks. I had not seen that documentation page yet.

The sub group was set with a ranking of 0 so, after reading the ranking explanation page, I set that at 200 and now works fine.

Thanks for the links and clarification.
