Uploaded file names

Hi, is there any way to rename the uploaded files based on the value of one of the form inputs? I intend to use the form for students to submit assignments, and it would be useful if the file name would let me know which assignment and which student the file belonged to. Thanks

Hi n3eight,

I don't think that you can do this automatically (I'll go and check the code to make sure).

You can do it by using code in the OnSubmit box to rename the file. There was a thread on this several months ago where I think we worked out how to rename a file and move it into a 'student' folder.

Hi n3eight,

in the latest release ONLY there is a new "file name" formula field under the uploads tab, you may use it to change the file name, you need to put a good PHP or it will break the whole submit process!

Hi Max,

To save me looking - is the $posted array available for the file name PHP?
