Multiple File Upload - custom file names?

luxhodge 05 May, 2016
I am using the standard file upload module in Chronoforms v5 (Joomla! 3.51) configured for multiple file upload. It is working fine right now. However, I want to let the user upload files while preserving the original file name rather than adding the date to it like it does now. Is there a way to do that with that module or do I have to use a custom element? Thanks!

Hi Erik,

You can use the File name code box in the File Upload action to set the file name. But notice that if you keep the original names if there are two uploads with the same name then the second one will over-write the first.
