Duh.

GF displays the URL fine if I just add "{File:20}" inside the "Post Body" container in the GF backend interface. There must be a way to get the URL just before GF puts it inside the post, run it through the function that produces the embed code, and display that instead...</p> <p>(Just FYI, I'm basically wanting to allow a user to upload an image and display it inside the post with a max-width attribute - in case you can point me to different way of accomplishing that). </p> <p>Thank you.<br /> Marc. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/manipulating-url-of-uploaded-file#post-60552 Mon, 28 May 2012 14:57:53 +0000 David Peralty 60552@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can't add it to the field because this hook is after the form has already been submitted (you have to wait until the form is submitted because that's when the file is actually uploaded to your server). You should just grab it and pass it right to the Embed.ly API. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/manipulating-url-of-uploaded-file#post-60544 Mon, 28 May 2012 14:00:45 +0000 davidjoydotnet 60544@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I noticed my function name was missing the underscore.

I assumed you wanted to change the URL of where a file was uploaded.</p> <p>Using the <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission</a> hook and the Field ID - $field[1]; you should be able to get the file URL.</p> <p>This is the same hook to pass data to a third party site. </p> <p>As for re-sizing and whatnot, there are lots of PHP scripts relating to that as well. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/manipulating-url-of-uploaded-file#post-60513 Mon, 28 May 2012 08:11:13 +0000 davidjoydotnet 60513@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>On the page of the link you sent me, the example seems to be about changing the upload path; I'd like to just know what the URL is; no need to change it.
