If you are one of the unlucky few of us that can only update our PHP directives in local, non-recursive php.ini files, you know that there are challenges getting large file uploads working in MODX. My initial assumption was that these uploads run through the main manager/index.php script, but they do not. After trying everything, I remembered that I could watch network traffic in Chrome's Inspector, which revealed that it was accessing connectors/index.php.
So create your local php.ini file, which looks something like:
upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 200M
memory_limit = 256M
Place it in connectors/ and that should fix the issue.
If it were me, I would probably ini_set using the upload_maxsize system setting, but I'm sure there are reasons this isn't done. This solution wasn't documented from what I can tell, and it drove me crazy this afternoon. So, I felt obligated to share.
