CFv4 Upload Filename Format

In CFv3 we could change the format of the name of files that were uploaded so they did not contain the date and time stamp. Where can I do that in CFv4? I want the name to stay the same as what the user uploads.

Thanks
Tami

Hi Tami,

I don't know how to do that with the standard action.

You could try my custom Upload FILE [GH] action - that give you more control.

Ok, so I've downloaded and installed your custom upload file. How do I set the filename in it?

Tami

I figured it out. It was really simple. I just put the field name in curly brackets in the "filename" field on your form and it worked perfectly.

Thanks again,
Tami

For whatever reason, this has stopped working. I have a file field on my form named "receipt". I put {receipt} in the filename field of your form. It worked several times, but now it is changing the name of the uploaded file to "receipt". Any clue what I might have done?

Hi Tami,

I suspect that this may be linked to the code in the other thread where you are setting a default value for receipt???

If receipt is showing up then the value of $form->data['receipt'] is almost certainly set to 'receipt'.
