The previously published solution is complex, and involves modifying the DB after the lead record has been written. This also - as we now know - takes place too far down the track to affect anything in the notification emails and - often - data sent to other plugins.</p> <p>Instead, as suggested above, I hooked into the much earlier "gform_pre_submission_filter", which triggers when the form is POSTed back, and before any processing is done. The code below is pretty basic (it'll run on every form - if you need something more specific, add a form filter check at the start) and just loops through the $_FILES array, replacing any filename it finds with a pseudo-random MD5 hash. (You could, obviously, replace this with any algorithm you wish to generate the filename.) </p> <p>However, remember that as this happens long before the DB write, you don't have access to a Lead ID or any other DB-related data; any other submitted form data you want to use will have to be got the old-fashioned way directly from $_POST - be careful to properly escape any field you plan to redisplay or use in an unexpected way to avoid the creation of potential XSS or SQL-injection vulnerabilities.</p> <pre><code>// Force uploaded filenames to a unique hash BEFORE form is processed add_filter(&quot;gform_pre_submission_filter&quot;, &quot;wired_set_upload_filenames&quot;, 10, 1); function wired_set_upload_filenames($form) { foreach($_FILES as &amp;$file) { $oldname = $file[&#39;name&#39;]; $newname = $oldname; $ext = &#39;&#39;; $dot = strrpos($oldname,&#39;.&#39;); if ( false !== $dot ) { $ext = substr($oldname,$dot); $newname = md5( mt_rand().$oldname ); } $file[&#39;name&#39;] = $newname . $ext; } // Return form object return $form; }</code></pre> <p>Hope this is of help to others in the same boat. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/renamed-file-upload-to-update-in-custom-post-type#post-151624 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 11:51:46 +0000 InternalWealth 151624@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Anyone will to give me a hand with this? :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/renamed-file-upload-to-update-in-custom-post-type#post-143271 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 08:24:04 +0000 InternalWealth 143271@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Sorry for the extremely late response.

You could use the gform_pre_submission_filter and work with the $_FILES global, which will contain the file name and the temp directory where the image is located before it's moved. However, I have not seen anyone post the code to perform that customization and I've never done it myself. Can you post the code you are using the change the file name now so we can see what you're trying to accomplish? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/renamed-file-upload-to-update-in-custom-post-type#post-119730 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:20:39 +0000 jessicasantacruz 119730@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris,<br /> Here is where the form is currently:<br /> <a href="http://awo.aws.org/professional-program-abstract-form/" rel="nofollow">http://awo.aws.org/professional-program-abstract-form/</a></p> <p>It's just been uploaded a few days ago so I do not have many files to rename at this point, but would like to have this functionality in place for the future. </p> <p>Thanks Chris,<br /> Jessica </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/renamed-file-upload-to-update-in-custom-post-type#post-119713 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:00:42 +0000 Chris Hajer 119713@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The gform_after_submission code will be run after the form is submitted, the entry is created, and the notifications are sent.
