Show allowed image dimensions under "Attach file"

This is what I call a "micro" hack. It does just what the title says and lets users know the maximum image dimensions (along with the maximum file size which is already there) that they are permitted to upload. It takes the dimensions from whatever you have set them to in your admin control panel

It requires one template hack and about 30 seconds.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Go to template "newpost_attachment"

Find:

PHP Code:

<smallfont>Maximum file size: $maxattachsize bytes 

after it add:

PHP Code:

<br>
Max width $maxattachwidth pixels X Max Height  $maxattachheight pixels 

That's it!

Once done when a user goes to post they will see the maximum file size permitted for an attachment and below it the maximum allowed height and width in pixels for an uploaded image.
