Support,

What settings will need to be adjusted, so that I could have uploaded user content deposited directly onto S3 instead of the local server? (i.e. Where it will wait on S3 until the cron activates, then it will be processed/converted/moved to the correct location...the S3 bucket for long term use listed in the JomSocial back-end settings.)

I will appreciate any assistance you can offer.

Thank you,
Steven

Hi Steven,

All this can be setup in Jomsocial Admin as per the image below

Paul,

I appreciate the detailed explanation but let me rephrase my issue. I am looking for a way so that the user uploaded content is deposited *directly* on S3 where it will wait until a server activates it's cron. The reason I need this is I am running a load-balanced setup. Thus I need to adjust the file setting that controls where the user uploaded content -before cron processing- is stored, so I can change it to result in using S3 as central data storage for the 'pre' and 'post processed' content.

If I don't adjust the setting, when a cron activates to process the user uploaded media, that *specific* load-balanced web server may not have the files, and then regard them as "missing". I need to rectify this problem by using a centralized data storage system.

Thank you,
Steven

Hi, Steven.

I'm sorry but this can't be done without extensive core hacking. The current flow is: upload to local server -> cron job runs -> files are moved to S3.

I apologize, but his can't be enhanced easily and is beyond our Technical Support.
