How can I know the limitation for the attachment size?

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi, When I add one tmp folder in the app root, I can upload more than 100K files.

But how can I know the limitation for the attachment size? I can't found it in admin console or configurtaion files.

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can limit that in current versions. It is only the size of the uploaded avatar that can be controlled here.

I looked at the code quickly and it looks like you can still limit attachement size. This is done via the Group Quota limits which can be set in the Admin screens.

However, since this is a group level thing, there is no easy way to get this information to display in the templates. Your users will have to try to upload a file and then get the max size from the denied error message.

FWIW, there is no way to limit a user to a total amount of data they can upload. E.g., userX can only upload 5MB of files.

As I said, this is from a quick look at the code and not actually testing it. YMMV.
