Limit file upload per month

Hi,

it can be done by implementing wfu_before_file_check filter. This filter performs custom checks before the file is accepted. You can define any checks you want, using PHP.

I can give you more info if you want.

Hi Nickolas, thanks for the fast response!
Yes an example would be great!

you have the free or pro version (instructions are a little bit different)?

No, not yet, i was attempting with free version before.

ok, if you have the free version you need to install Code Snippets plugin, which you can use to implement the filter, or just add the code below inside wp_functions.php file of your WordPress website.

With Code Snippets, just create a new Code Snippet, give it any name you want and put the following code in the Code box:

if (!function_exists('wfu_before_file_check_handler')) {
	function wfu_before_file_check_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
		// Add code here...
		$user = get_userdata($additional_data["user_id"]);
		if ( $user != false ) {
			$filerecs = wfu_get_recs_of_user($additional_data["user_id"]);
			$lastupload_time = 0;
			foreach( $filerecs as $filerec ) {
				if ( $filerec->uploadtime > $lastupload_time )
					$lastupload_time = $filerec->uploadtime;
			}
			if ( $lastupload_time > 0 ) {
				$day_same = (date("Ymd", time()) == date("Ymd", $lastupload_time));
				$month_same = (date("Ym", time()) == date("Ym", $lastupload_time));
				if ( $day_same ) {
					$changable_data["error_message"] = "You are allowed to upload only one file per day. Please try again tomorrow.";
				}
			}
		}
		return $changable_data;
	}
	add_filter('wfu_before_file_check', 'wfu_before_file_check_handler', 10, 2);
}

Then save and activate the snippet and you are ready.

The above code will restrict a user to perform a second upload the same day.

Try it and let me know.
