About filename reaming......is there any possibility to rename filename with the ID of the record?....such as "1.jpg" and also to add a custom suffix, such as "1_low.jpg"? I appreciate your interest!!! Thank you in advance

Hi and welcome to the community,

When you add a record, the file is uploaded before beiing saved in database.
So the ID does not exists when the file is renamed.

The solution is you can ask the user to first save the record, and then propose to upload an attached file.
(Do 2 forms with redirection, or limit the access of the input if ID doesn't exists)

Then, pass the id in the rename parameter.

It is not so difficult. I can help you if you have difficulties.

Coding is now a piece of cake

tr4ding Offline Senior Member Posts: 42 Karma: 1	I looked around the "upload.php" file in "classes folder" and i noticed the function "renameFile()" in which are defined all markers......i have to find a way to implement the "CID MARKER" there in the code? (Eg. $cid = JRequest::getVar( 'cid', array(), 'post', 'array' ); ) Or is there any possibility to pass the cid value directly on the sandbox? Thank you in advance!!!

Or is there any possibility to pass the cid value directly on the sandbox?

First, there is nothing to do with the sandboxes. You are currently coding inside your component.

Well, I give you the answer :

TODO :
controllers/{mycontroller}.php :

function save() AND function apply() :

//UPLOAD FILE : My File
if (!$this->_upload('my_file', &$post, array(
		'image/jpeg' => 'jpg,jpeg')
	, array(
		'overwrite' => 'yes',
		'rename' => '{BASE}.{EXT}',		// <-  HERE

	)))
	return;

replace with :

'rename' => (int) $cid[0] . '_{BASE}.{EXT}',

But you can change the patterns as you want ({BASE}, {ALIAS}, {EXT}, {BASEXT}, {RAND} ...

That solves ?

EDIT : I see you tried to add a {CID} pattern, wich is a nice idea, you can do it also...
So you can rewrite in the class file.

Add this code in the renameFile() function

//Cid when available
$cid = JRequest::getVar( 'cid', array(), 'post', 'array' );
if (count($cid))
	$this->parsePattern($pattern, "CID", (int)$cid[0]);

Not tested, but sould work.
