[Pmwiki-users] Enforcing quotas on pmwiki

[Patrick R. Michaud]

Upload quotas are now implemented in version 0.5.16 (just released).  

For a per-group quota, simply set $UploadPrefixQuota in local.php 
or local/Group.php to the maximum amount of space (in bytes) you'll 
allow for all upload files in the group.  $UploadDirQuota specifies 
the maximum amount of space allowed for the entire upload directory.  
By default quotas are unlimited.

For example, setting 

    $UploadPrefixQuota = 80000;
    $UploadDirQuota = 500000;

places an 80K quota on uploads in the per-group directory, and a 500K 
quota on the entire upload directory.
