Extract Uploaded File’s Base Name and Output Using Post Custom Data

  • Hi there,

    I have been struggling to find a way to extract only the base name of a media file that is uploaded via the Forminator file upload field. I’m talking about the last section of the file URL path that contains the file name and file extension. For example, filename.fileextension

    Then I just need to output this information using Forminator’s Post Custom Data, which I can see in the back end when I view the edit post page after a new post is added. How do I go about achieving this?

    Hello @trey96,

    I hope things are going well for you.

    I consulted the second-level support team; they have checked your request. Due to its complexity, I’m afraid this will be outside the scope of support we can provide.

    For that, you’ll need to hire a developer. so they can provide the required custom code. WordPress provides a jobs directory here: https://jobs.wordpress.net/. If you need further advice about it, feel free to email [email protected].

    I have to be honest here. The forminator support team is quite useless. This is my second or third time reaching out to support for help and immediately being told to hire a developer. I’ve read through previous support threads that are 2+ years old where users were asking for WAY more complex solutions and support was able to assist them.

    When a file is uploaded via a form, the file information is automatically stored somewhere by forminator. All I was asking for was to help me extract a portion of that information that already exists in the database. My question was pertaining to this plugin specifically. Again, I have never received any actual help from this support team ever. Do not offer support to users if you guys are this bad at it. Truly ridiculous.
