However, you can use the gform_after_submission hook to rename the file after it has been uploaded.<br /> Following is a documentation of that hook.<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission</a></p> <p>You will need to read the $entry variable to get the current file name. You will then have to rename the actual file as well as update the database record to match the new file name. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/append-a-prefix-to-file-uploads#post-39587 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:54:09 +0000 simbian 39587@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello to all, as i wanna limit the access to the form to only registered users i also would like to know if it's possible to automatically set a prefix (hidden for the users) to file uploads so i can know which user has uploaded the files.</p> <p>I would generate the prefix dinamically using the Wordpress global variable $user_login <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo</a></p> <p>So an example: the registered user Joe access the form and upload a file called sample.zip, in the upload folder of my web server so i should have the file named Joe_sample.zip</p> <p>thanks,<br /> Simone from Italy </p>
