Change the file name of upload before registration/user profile saved

7 years 8 months ago #284339 by wrongjon
Hi guys

We allow users to upload a cv/resume during regsitration and when editing profiles using the FILE type Cb field.

Krileon I've spotted this answer from you about changing the email address field before the reg/user is saved

www.joomlapolis.com/forum/153-professional-member-support/231424-populate-email-field-at-registration-using-cb-auto-actions-and-field-values-to-make-firstname-lastname-101215#271639

so could the same thing be done on a file type field

Could I use a cb auto action code type - method: php to amend the POST value for the field and the actual name of the file once its uploaded?

I'd love to be able to grab the [firstname][lastname][userid] field values and use those for the field and filename adding in the correct file extension of course.

Do you think that is possible as am really struggling here...

If not possible them im hoping for an aftersaved type trigger to apply the new field value and then do a JFile::move to rename the file after its been uploaded.

Thank you
Jonathan

The file has to be renamed and the new name stored in the database. I've replied to your other topic below with further details.
