Alter Image Name upon Upload ?

    Hi,

    Is it possible to alter the names of images upon the user uploading them?
    I would like to make sure that each image (which gets added to a post), has the following name: username_categoryname_sequencenumber.jpg

    The username will be the user who uploaded the image, then the category for which the post is added too, and the sequence number would be between 1 and 10, as the user can upload between 1 and 10 images per time.

    Is this easily achievable or would it require some custom coding?

    Thanks

    Currently there is a hook for customizing the folder where uploads are stored, however there is not currently a hook to customize the name of the file that gets stored. We can look at adding this hook in a future release.

    There was a post recently from Alex who described the process for both renaming the file and changing the entry to reflect the newly named file. Maybe you can use that for now:

    It will require some custom code in your theme's functions.php.
