File Upload with custom Filename

Hi,

How can I have the file upload with custom filename? I want the uploaded file to be renamed, with the name contains the variable that is generated in "On Submit code - before sending email". How can I achieve that? Thanks.

Hi Yue_Hong,

Unfortunately the File Upload code runs before the OnSubmit Before code so that only way I can think of to do this is to rename the file in the OnSubmit Before code. You can do this fairly easily with the Joomla file functions.

Thanks for your reply. How is the Joomla file functions? I have google search it, but can't find example of it.

Hi Yue_Hong,

The page in the Joomla Docs Wiki is here. You may also need the PHP rename() function.
