Yes, we could set the same value per default but in the end it depends on the PHP settings (upload_max_filesize and post_max_size) what size will be accepted or not from the server. I think that we should check whether the limit is lower than 10MB and then show the correct value in the Media Manager, e.g. 4MB or whatever and not just show a fixed number as we do now.

I personally agree with you on that concept @Kubik-Rubik Do you think you could code that as a solution?

@brianteeman Sure! We could use for example some functions from Drupal: http://stackoverflow.com/a/25370978 ;-)

I definitely think its an improvement to report the server setting

I do something like that in my component to show the maximum possible filesize as an information. See https://github.com/Bakual/SermonSpeaker/blob/master/com_sermonspeaker/site/views/frontendupload/view.html.php#L89 and https://github.com/Bakual/SermonSpeaker/blob/master/com_sermonspeaker/site/views/frontendupload/view.html.php#L641

I agree it is a big improvement, and showing from where the limit comes (and thus giving a hint on how to change it if needed) is even better. This should also be ported to extensions by upload installations imho.

If we make this change then I would hope we would make it globally wherever
we have upload limits and if it is an API then extension developers can
easily use it

@brianteeman Yes, we should add it into the library to have the possibility to call it globally.
@bakual I would also solve it in a similar way. Thanks for the input!

I will create something tomorrow! :-)

Here we go: #4348

Please test first the library implementation. If everything is okay and we have it in the core, we can replace every hard-coded values (e.g. Media Manager).

This issue can be closed in favor of #4348
