Hesk or Server Attachment Compression?

Post by Lisaweb »

What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: Attachment Compression

Write your message below:

My server has limited disk space. Any php gurus here who know how to get Hesk to compress attachments upon upload? Or is there a way to get my server to perform this action? Any advice appreciated!

There's no way in Hesk to do that.

You could potentially use a back-end script to compress files, but the script would also need to update the hesk_attachments table with the new information. I don't have any such scripts readily available though.

An alternative would also be to manually delete old attachments from the attachments folder.

Ok thanks Klemen. I think I will reduce the allowed attachment size and request they compress attachments before uploading.
