Whatever filename the file has when it's uploaded is what it used, unless it's a duplicate and then a number is appended to the end of the name.</p> <p>To override the default location for saving file uploads you can write custom code that uses this hook:</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> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-upload-capabilities-and-questions#post-33552 Thu, 25 Aug 2011 11:48:16 +0000 designrangers 33552@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey guys! Gravity forms is working awesomely on a number of sites I've set up, so first and foremost, thanks!</p> <p>I have one client who handles sensitive information via the file upload function and would like to do the following:</p> <p>1. Client submits file – information on time, date, ISP, etc. are captured<br /> 2. File formatted – file gets zipped and given the following naming convention – YYYYMMDD.Name.Location.zip<br /> 3. File uploaded into a root folder instead of a specific folder</p> <p>Is this something I can make happen with gravity forms or would I be better off with another solution for this?</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Chris </p>
