Upload to folder based on field entry?

    Very interested in your plugin, as we would like to replace it with an old CGI script we are currently using. However, we need one feature – right now, when the customer uploads their images, our script creates a folder based on the field entry that they input for their company name.

    For instance, in the form, if they enter “Acme Inc.” in the “company name” field, it uploads all their images to a folder named “Acme Inc”. And in all future submissions, if they put that company name, it uploads the files to the existing folder with that name. Of course, it’s not perfect, as people don’t always type the company name the same every time. But with 1000’s of customer files, it would be impossible to keep them organized without this feature.

    Does this or your professional edition of the plugin have this feature? If not, would you be willing to build it into the paid version?

    Thanks for your consideration.

    Hi, this feature already exists in the plugin. The plugins allows to include additional user fields, together with the upload functionality.

    So, suppose that you have one field for Company that the user must fill in (required field).

    You can configure the upload path to include the value entered by the user, e.g.

    uploadpath=”/uploads/%userdata1%”

    The variable %userdata1% will be replaced by the value entered by the user in the field.

    thanks!

    Hi,
    as Lisaweb said, it works fine if everybody types the company name the same way.
    An improvement could help : if the company name is in your wp profile or as a variable readable by WPFU, this name could be automatically retrieved in the path. No need to type so no error.
