Image Size Limit?

Is there a preference where we can enforce the size limit on uploads to
the wiki? Yesterday, I had a newbie who uploaded a 1.2 *megabyte* BMP
image to the site. It would be useful if users were not permitted to
override the "recommended" size setting. Is there a preference where I
can set that?

Thanks,

We fixed a 200k limit on Wikinfo. I don't like it much as I think I am one
of the offenders myself. This coding is in GetWiki at:

email mrm.parrott [at] rimric to get specifics on it.

The system-wide PHP settings enforce a strict upload size limit. (The
default I believe is 2 megabytes.) Or, if you can't change that, you
can fiddle with the code...

I haven't tested this, but it ought to work. Change:
if ( ( ! $wpIgnoreWarning ) && ( $wpUploadSize > 150000 ) ) {
return uploadWarning( WfMsg( "largefile" ) );
}

to
if ( $wpUploadSize > 150000 ) {
return uploadError( WfMsg( "largefile" ) );
}

Let me know if it does work, I'll poke in another setting for it.
