separating files and images

    Hi there,
    is it possible to save uploaded files and post images into separate folders? I use the gform_upload_path filter already, but would like to save images into: ../post_images
    and files into: ../files_uploads

    So if I have a form asking for 3 post images and 1 file upload, the images go to ../post_images and the file goes to ../file_uploads. This could be a global setting or a setting from form to form.
    Any ideas?

  2. There is no setting like that. You could do it with some code to move the files after uploading, similar to renaming them after upload. Move and rename are actually the same function, essentially, so the code would be the same. Some related reading for your customization:

    Hi Chris,
    thanks for the references! If I now find out how to move a file with php, then that task should be easy peasy!

    [php]
    <?php
    rename("/old/tmp/tmp_file.txt", "/home/user/login/documents/my_file.txt");
    ?>
