Hello
I have a field of upload of several media formats: audio, video and image.

I know how to create the file name in a custom way, but I can not generate the extensions (.jpeg, .mp3, .mp4) according to what is sent.

When saving the file is only with the name without the extension

It says how right there in the File name provider field.
​

If not empty then the resulting value will used as the file name, you can use {var:FN.file.name} and {var:FN.file.extension} to get the file name and extension.

I understand, but ...

If I save this mode Ex: {var: FN.file.jpeg}

When I upload an .mp3 file at the time of saving, it will save as .jpeg

What I want is to customize the file name, this I know how to do, and save according to the file extension.

No, you literally write the word "extension". And replace FN with the name of your file upload action

I'm probably doing something wrong, check the images and debug please.

Here's an example.

{var:upload4.file.name}_{date:dmY}.{var:upload4.file.extension}

Hello, healyhatman, rafaelscouto,
Sorry for intrusion, but I have one question regarding the same topic:
​
This is the working code I sucesfully implemented for file uploads:
{data:Name}_{data:Surname}_{var:upload3.file.name}.{var:upload3.file.extension}
​
Now I need to do this for
Repeater file uploads, where Fieldname for the field "Name" would be Person[{var:area_repeater38.key}][Name]
​
Any suggestions?

Honestly given the way the file upload action currently works, I can't imagine how to go about doing that.

but it is not😟 working. the result is like this - if the filename would be photo.jpg, then uploaded filename is __photo.jpg where 2 underscores are the underscores in the code between {data:Name}_{data:Surname}_{var:upload3.file.name}.{var:upload3.file.extension}

Uh huh like I said I don't know how to do it.

found your bug report here -
https://www.chronoengine.com/forums/posts/t105593/various-bugs-upload-files-repeaters
​
in the debug section there i found this:

[0] => loop_event25.key}]:txt

I got the same when i put {data:Name[{var:area_repeater38.key}]} in the code
​
like this -

[0] => ]}_]}_eedd36377572b11f649ca44c4c66d8cc.jpg

did you get the answer on this?

Nope. Asked the dev about it, I'll let you know.

Thank you very much, solved my problem.

Hello,
​
The repeater got some updates and the feature in question should work fine with the next update!
