We have not changed how file uploads are processed, and as such, its upload location can't be set through field choices. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-upload-path-for-specific-file_upload-field-2#post-155988 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:04:32 +0000 gingalley 155988@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I don't see any update for this hook or any other options in GF Help Forum.</p> <p>Is it still impossible to change gform_upload_path based off of the Field ID? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-upload-path-for-specific-file_upload-field-2#post-36928 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:20:57 +0000 Carl Hancock 36928@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The problem is this functionality happens when the form is posted. The file upload is handled server side. You can't change the path as part of the form post because Gravity Forms handles the file upload and moves the file based on it's own settings, not what is posted. The only way to change the path is to use the hook I referenced above and currently it only works per form, it can't be used on a field by field basis. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-upload-path-for-specific-file_upload-field-2#post-36927 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:14:59 +0000 jacobdubail 36927@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Carl,</p> <p>What I'm trying to do is change the path for a specific field after the form is submitted but before the form is posted. Just not sure why my code above wouldn't work.</p> <p>Is there a hook I can use to change the $form data after the change_upload_path but before POST?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Jacob </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-upload-path-for-specific-file_upload-field-2#post-36923 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:09:09 +0000 Carl Hancock 36923@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Currently the upload path can only be changed site wide or form wide, the hook doesn't currently support per field. The hook is documented here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_upload_path" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_upload_path</a></p> <p>I'll check with our lead developer if this can be done on a field by field basis. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-upload-path-for-specific-file_upload-field-2#post-36911 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 14:35:30 +0000 jacobdubail 36911@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No love? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-upload-path-for-specific-file_upload-field-2#post-36507 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 17:44:45 +0000 jacobdubail 36507@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey guys,</p> <p>I would have replied to the previous thread, but it was closed...</p> <p>I'm trying to hijack the form POST to change the file upload path of one field. Just before submission, I can get the path to change properly, but I'm assuming after it posts, the upload path is hijacked again by the form.</p> <p>Here's what I have so far:</p> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;gform_post_data_1&#39;, &#39;ebooks_review_book&#39;, 10, 2); function ebooks_review_book($form) { $img = $form[&#39;images&#39;][0][&#39;url&#39;]; $img = explode(&#39;/&#39;, $img); $img = $img[sizeof($img)-1]; $form[&#39;images&#39;][0][&#39;url&#39;] = content_url() . &#39;/uploads/books/&#39; . $img; echo &quot;&lt;pre&gt;&quot;; print_r( $form ); echo &quot;&lt;/pre&gt;&quot;; exit; //return $form; }</code></pre> <p>Is there a hook I can use to make this work? One that runs after <code>change_upload_path</code>, but before the file is actually moved?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> jacob </p>
