Naming of uploaded file

schmalbach 29 Jan, 2009
Hello,

I was wondering, whether it is possible to take any influence in the naming of an uploaded file.

I'm trying ChronoForms for the first time and got evrything running in my sandbox so far. I only noticed that the uploaded file is prefixed with date and time, which I'd rather have not. Is there a possibility to "disable" that, so the file would be overwritten, everytime it's uploaded.

Thanks for your answers.

Hi schmalbach,

There's no parameters to turn this on and off though you could hack the core files.

There's also a PlugIn from Emmanuel that gives you much more control over your file uploads; and there are a couple of posts I made about renaming and/or relocating uploaded files that might be helpful.

A quick search on renaming uploads didn't bring up much. And the plugin your talking about, are you refering to the image resizer plugin?
It was a bit quicker to do it the dirty way, and hack the core.
But thanks anyway.
