    I'm using the file upload custom field in a form to allow users to upload images, at the moment these images are passed through to the custom field as a URL, ideally I'd like the attachment ID passed through rather than URL so that it will work with another plugin I am using.

    Does anyone have any idea if this is possible?

    Thanks.

    Do you want to store the attachment ID in the custom field and then be able to use that in another plugin?

    Yes, exactly, also all the calls from the template files for my theme use the attachment ID :)

    This might help, ps you need some DEFINE constants and other hardcoded vars tweaks before you can use this.
    This is a partial copy paste of a form I use to update images attached to a specific post.

    Thanks!

    I'll have to spend some time trying to figure out how to get this working with my setup properly. Any idea if this can be modified to do the same thing to multiple fields?

    Hey Dale,

    I'm actually using the 'after_submission' filter/hook to attach my images to the post as an ID.

    @wkks thanks this works brilliantly!

    Just wondering if there is a way the code can be modified to count how many of these fields have data in them and place the number in another custom field?

    eg. If 'image 1' and 'image 2' have been uploaded the the count of the field 'image-count' would be set to 2
