Get input value after form submit

  • I have added the shortcode in a custom form.
    After user upload the file and then press Submit on my form, i cannot get the filename of uploaded file.

    I see at print_r($_POST) only:
    [uploadedfile_1] => demo-profile-image.png

    And in the uploads/ folder i have the image with timestamp name
    demo-profile-image-20170328170127.png

    How can i get the filename value after press submit?

    thanks

    Hi, you want to run a custom PHP script with the filename? You can do it by implementing wfu_after_file_upload or wfu_after_upload filter. You can see instructions here.

    I have a custom edit profile page with a form.
    I have
    – 1 upload image field
    – 1 upload video field
    and other felds like name, age ..

    When user click Update i need to get the values of those 2 fields to update them in database in custom user meta and is not obvious how to do it.

    2 shortcodes for these 2 fields look similar, arent differentiated by an id or something. Also, if a use add_filter how i identify between those 2 upload fileds (photo and video) to update their values in database for user cystom meta?

    Hi, you need to differentiate those two shortcodes by setting different upload id. Then when you implement a filter, for instance wfu_after_upload, there is a variable that holds the plugin id ($additional_data[“sid”] variable).

    This is a link of instructions for the filters.

    “two shortcodes by setting different upload id”

    Those 2 shortcodes does nto have ids, should i add id attribute manually in shortcode?

    I ended creating custom code, but the plugin looks good and maybe i will use it for other projects.

    you can add uploadid=”1″ is the first shortcode and uploadid=”2″ in the second, or you can do it visually using the visual editor (it is the first option)
