Hi, i have front end form, with file input field. When I upload it, I want to change file name to some random numbers or letters (ect. 4455asdasd54.jpg).

How can I do that? Maybe someone could provide simple code example?

Is this forum dead? :D

Is this forum dead?
no, maybe that isn't something someone can help you with :)

I'm sure you can get this by debugging and hacking the core code - not that I would advise that.

Hi, swaiba,
I'm glad that at least someone wrote back :)

Maybe where is method like setFolderName, just for files?

You could create a DataExtension for File and extend the method onAfterUpload().

Something like:

class MyFileExtension extends DataExtension {
	function onAfterUpload() {
		$file = $this->owner;
		$file->Name = 'myFilename';
		$file->write();
	}
}

Not tested... but should work.

Saw this in the addons, thought it might be useful to you...

Hi, tried what Devlin suggested, but it didn't worked out, so my solution was:

if(!empty($data['Photo1']['name'])){
	$photo1 = File::get()->byID(Member::currentUser()->Photo1ID);
	// getting ext
	$ext1 = $photo1->getExtension();				
	$random1 = (int)substr(uniqid('', true), -7);
	$randomDate1 = $random1 + (int)time();
	$photo1->Name = 'sitename-' . $randomDate1 . $CurrentMemberID . $random1 . '.' . $ext1;
	$photo1->write();
}

it's not perfect, but it worked.

Thank you all for the help :)
