[SOLVED] GH File Upload Action - Create folders by user id

Bob,

I am using your fantastic File Upload action on a form. The action has the ability to create folders on the server for uploads based on the logged-in user's name. I simply insert {username} into the path and it works just fine!

However, I would really like to use the logged in user's ID rather than the username. Is this possible? I tried using {id} and {userid}, but those did not work.

Thanks!!
Rick

Hi Rick,

It should work if you add the user Id to the $form->data array first in a Custom Code action

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$form->data['user_id'] = $user->id;
?>

then use {user_id} in the folder path.

Bob

Oh yeah!! That worked perfectly. Thanks!!!!
