File Uploads

Hi There,

I have created a form which allows a user to upload a file to a webserver. The issue is that I do not know how to identify which user uploaded the file. Only registered users are able to upload files and as soon as an upload is complete an email is sent to me.

What I would like to find out is if there is a way to include the current logged in user's username or email address in the email that is sent to me so I can correctly identify it.

I would also like to find out how to change the color of the text displaying the file name in the file upload field. My website has a dark background, and the text in this field is black. I would like to change it to red or white.

Kind Regards,
Steven Nel

Hi Steven,

You can configure the uploaded file name in the File Uploads tab. I'm pretty certain that there is a thread or two here describing how to do that.

For the colors you'll need to edit your CSS files.

Great. I sort of found the answer I wanted. I am able to pull the user ID which is good enough for me. Thanks for your help.
