Custom dynamic prefix

    Hello,

    Thank you for your great plugin, it is awesome.

    Do you know of any way that we could define our own dynamic prefixes ?

    I see, in the “Prefixer” Class, that there is some string replacement going on depending on what dynamic prefix we use.

    But that would be really great to define our own prefix or to be able to filter the prefix before the file gets uploaded.

    For a very particular project, I need to reproduce a folder architecture on Amazon S3. Medias will go in folders using the “Real Media Libraries” and folders structure should be replicated on S3.

    Do you think of any easy way to make this work without touching to the plugin’s core file ?

    Thank you !

    Real Media Libraries doesn’t use a folder structure I thought, it’s strictly a database thing?

    Yes you are right, it is just tagging, it doesn’t alter the files path physically but I need to reproduce the folder structure on S3 though.

    That’s because editors will then browse into the S3 bucket, from other sites to search for photos so files have to be separated in folders for simpler search.

    The only problem with this is if the file is “moved” (not phisically) to another RML folder, the file will have to be moved on S3 too and I guess this is not something your plugin is supposed to do, I was planning on developing that part myself.

    Well you can actually hook into this AFTER media cloud does and change everything:

    
add_filter('wp_handle_upload_prefilter', function($file){
    add_filter('upload_dir', 'customUploadDir', 1001);
    return $file;
}, 1001);

add_filter('wp_handle_upload', function($fileinfo){
    remove_filter('upload_dir', 'customUploadDir');
    return $fileinfo;
});

function customUploadDir($params) {
    $newPath = '/whatever/you/like/here/';
    $params['path'] = str_replace($params['subdir'], $newPath, $params['path']);
    $params['url'] = str_replace($params['subdir'], $newPath, $params['url']);
    $parms['subdir'] = $newPath;
    return $params;
}

    Media Cloud will use whatever you specify in your function.

    Mmm I already tried hooking into “upload_dir” but that didn’t do the job and in the debug log i have something like this :

    11/30/2018 7:28 pm ilab-media-tool INFO Finished uploading whatever/you/like/here//birthday-2.jpg to S3.
    11/30/2018 7:28 pm ilab-media-tool INFO End Upload file = 2018/11/birthday-2.jpg, time = 0.279597997665
    11/30/2018 7:28 pm ilab-media-tool INFO Start Upload file = 2018/11/birthday-2.jpg
    11/30/2018 7:28 pm ilab-media-tool INFO Uploading whatever/you/like/here//birthday-2.jpg to S3.

    The code you provided also give the same result.

    I just pushed 2.1.21 which will honor whatever you return from upload_dir, but in order for it to do so, you have to do one of the following:

    – Make sure the Upload File Prefix setting is blank
    – Or, add a filter for the ilab_storage_should_use_custom_prefix hook and return false

    
add_filter('ilab_storage_should_use_custom_prefix', function($should){
    return false;
});

    Wow, it’s working great now !

    And I’ve managed to move the file on S3 and update metadata whenever the file is moved inside another RML folder.

    So, all is good, thank a lot for your help and for this great plugin.
