Change upload path / url

  • Hi Adrian,

    I’m still in the early stages of using this plugin, but so far so good– thank you for your hard work on it. Ajax uploads, especially in the List field, is a big functionality add to Gravity Forms, and I’m thankful you’ve made and continue to support this plugin!

    Question, which may get thrown in the feature requests column:
    Is there a way to change the upload path (URL in particular) in its entirety? I’m talking about a hook for your function change_upload_path($path_info, $form_id). I see the hook for changing the filename, which is quite helpful, but I don’t believe it lets me change the full upload path. This is also, as you’ll see, different from the upload directory setting in the backend.

    Use case: I push all files from my web server to Amazon S3 on upload. I can already achieve this using your filename filter– I just have that trigger a push to S3. The problem is that I can’t change the full URL path, including domain name, to my S3 domain. So basically, I’m looking for a hook that works like your filename hook, but lets me change the entire URL path.

    Currently, it looks like I can achieve this by manually modifying the change_upload_path($path_info, $form_id) function in gravity-forms-ajax-upload.php, but of course that’s bad form and dangerous.

    Many thanks.

    Actually, nevermind! It looks like Gravity Form’s gform_upload_path filter applies here… so we’re all good!

    (For those curious, it turns out I am actually having a hard time finding a hook on which I can grab the file and push it to S3. The only hook so far I can find that provides the file name and path is the rename filter, which provides the /tmp directory before the file is moved into its permanent location– I would have thought this’d have worked, but I’m getting an open stream: file does not exist error when I try to grab the upload from the temp directory. So I’ll be playing more. I’d welcome advice from any generous souls who might be able to help me find a filter that lets me move the file– all I need is the ability to copy it from one directory to another, sometime during the initial upload process. But otherwise, I’ll be playing some more.)

    Thanks again for the great plugin, Adrian!

    Hey B.

    I’m working on adding a post-upload action that you could use to run your custom code against the uploaded file.

    I was playing with it to upload to dropbox, worked a treat but I started to have doubts about scope creep – e.g. do you delete the file after upload, how do you handle thumbnails if the image is moved etc.

    I’ll report back here once the action is available.
