Max allowed packet bytes error

[siv2r]

Users can upload file size up to 2MB but the default SQL insertions for BLOB type is 1MB.
Therefore error occurs when the user uploads a filesize between 1 MB - 2 MB.

Possible soln:
Limit the file size to 1MB instead of 2MB in jQuery form validation.

@siv2r Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Solution would be -> setting paramBytes = param1024 instead of paramBytes = param1024*1024 in editPairForm.js and reg-form.js files?

Solution would be -> setting paramBytes = param_1024 instead of paramBytes = param_1024*1024 in editPairForm.js and reg-form.js files?

This is not a correct approach. This will limit the file size to 2 KB instead of 1 MB. Since param is in bytes so, parm*1024 (kilobytes) and param*1024*1024 (MegaBytes)

[siv2r]

An ideal way would be to replace 2 with 1 in the following lines on both editPairForm.js and reg-form.js :)
