[OJS 3.2.1-4] Can't upload an image as administrator

Hi,

we have the same problem described here, not in User Profile but in Administration>Setings>Navigation menu.
While in Profile you can access not as an administrator and have the upload tab, this is not possible in Administration>Settings that you can use only as an administrator.
It is possible to avoid the problem uploading the desired image somewhere else and pasting the URL but we think this is a bug that should be solved; in OJS 3.1 was possible to upload images also as administrator.
Best regards
Stefano

Hi @bolelligallevi

Have you tried to increase the allowed file space to upload in the config.inc.php file ?
Please, review the parameter and adjust it to a bigger value if you need:
public_user_dir_size

You can see it from the link below as well:

github.com

pkp/ojs/blob/main/config.TEMPLATE.inc.php#L221

    
      
          ; (This directory should be web-accessible and the specified path
          ; should be relative to the base OJS directory)
          ; Windows users should use forward slashes
          public_files_dir = public
          
          
; The maximum allowed size in kilobytes of each user's public files
          ; directory. This is where user's can upload images through the
          ; tinymce editor to their bio. Editors can upload images for
          ; some of the settings.
          ; Set this to 0 to disallow such uploads.
          public_user_dir_size = 5000
          
          
; Permissions mask for created files and directories
          umask = 0022
          
          
; The minimum percentage similarity between filenames that should be considered
          ; a possible revision
          filename_revision_match = 70
