Hi

I've Googled for this and checked the forum (as always) but can't quite find it.

I've a static page (it's the history of the business) and want to upload more than ten pictures. I don't particularly want a slideshow or anything snazzy.

I thought I'd gotten around it by uploading ten, placing them in the text, then 'deleting' them and uploading some more, but I think Cron must have tidied up and the first lot are gone now.

So .. that 10 must be a setting somewhere, I just don't know where it is. Do you?

Yes, I could just upload the images manually and have done with it, but .. the 10 seems a ridiculously easy to change number .. it's just knowing how.

Cheers
J

you cannot delete the images from the folder structure once you utilize them in content. Cron likely cleared the database cache and now the paths to the images are no longer correct as they've been removed.

consider the insert.module

OK ta

I am using the insert module, but I don't know that that allows me to upload more than 10 images, that just allows me to place them in the body text doesn't it?

edit the content type in questions
edit the field in which the image are being uploaded.
Check it's max value setting

It's a dropdown menu, maximum ten :-)

It's max ten on field creation, too. So it's not something that's set at that point, it's higher up/deeper in.

you're right. multifield is maxed at 10. Thus, you will likely require a custom module and implement a hook_form_alter to alter the form setting. Confirming via the core code that handles this (perhaps in field.module) may aid.

else a second field with another max 10 may be of benefit

I did wonder about a second field. Might do that, not sure I'm ready for hooking in yet.

Bit strange though, that limit, don't you think?

Anyway .. thanks for your help, I can stop searching for my incompetence now.

I think it's a sane setting for a multifield. Too high a setting and issues can be caused with memory, post max issues, max file size and other PHP default settings. specifically for those on shared hosts.
