Configure Upload Settings per Website

To configure the upload settings for a particular website:

1. Navigate to System > Websites in the main menu.

2. For the necessary website, hover over the More Options menu to the right and click to start editing the configuration.

3. Select System Configuration > General Setup > Upload Settings in the menu to the left.

   Note

   For faster navigation between the configuration menu sections, use Quick Search.

4. In the File Names section, you can control whether to use original file names. By default, the setting is enabled.

   Warning

   Changing this setting only affects the global upload limit. It does not override a lower limit configured on an individual entity field. If a File, Image, Multiple Files, or Multiple Images type attribute has its own File Size value, that value still applies and can block uploads even after you raise this global setting. For example, out of the box, the Product Image attribute has its own 10 MB limit. See Manage Product Attributes in the Back-Office for how to check or change per-attribute file size limits.

   

   Hint

   The File Names settings can be configured globally, per organization and per website.

   Enable Original File Names — When enabled, the original file name is appended to the system-generated hash value. All non-alphanumeric characters (e.g., “:”, “)”, “,”, “~”) are replaced with “-” (dash).

   For example, the name of the file is coffee_maker/bosch_#RND123.jpg, the system-generated hash value is media/cache/attachment/filter/product_gallery_main/b6d3b12a2194f276376d682d2e7e6bd1/1/5bae287538.jpg. If the option is enabled, the file name is displayed in the storefront as follows media/cache/attachment/filter/product_gallery_main/623364376a0e8125036727/1/5bae287538-coffee-maker-bosch-RND123.jpg

   Note

   When this option is enabled, the Enable Original File Names setting for Product Images is hidden from the system configuration page.

5. Click Save Settings.
