How to change upload directory

Hey Mirko,

There’s no direct option in Forminator for this but using below mu-plugin should help you accomplish it:

Hello!
I’ve tried this before, today an update showed up and now I’m on 1.6.0.2 (1.5 before).
Now this works simply fine!
Thank you!
Just one more thing.
I’d like to have a custom dir, like /eventi/xxx/yyyy/mm/file.ext
xxx is supposed to be a text based on the form id.
eg, form id = 10, upload directory will be /eventi/DIR_A/etc
form id = 11, dir will be /eventi/DIR_B/

is it possible?
I’ve tried

   public function my_form_ad_formid_to_upload_dir( $param ) {
if $this->new_dir_id = 3439 {
            $updir = "test_a";
       }
        else {
            $updir = "test_b";
        }
        $new_path = '/eventi/' . $updir . '/' . date( 'Y' ) . '/' . date( 'm' );

Note, I’m not a php expert nor a developer, so I’m not sure if the if statement can work with that call

At the very least Forminator needs to place all uploads into a Forminator folder under Uploads by default. Now you have all the uploads mixed in with all other media files and it’s a mess. Not only that, but when you delete a submission it doesn’t delete the upload associated with it so it soon becomes impossible to clean up old submissions mixed in with normal media such as photos.

I believe most other form plugins use their own folder.

Hey guys,

I have passed over this to our devs to consider implementing this change in future releases ??

@desmogiec, can you try replacing this line:
$new_path = '/' . $this->new_dir_id . '/' . date( 'Y' ) . '/' . date( 'm' );
With this:

$dir_name = $this->new_dir_id;
        $form = Forminator_API::get_form( $this->new_dir_id );

        if ( $form instanceof Forminator_Custom_Form_Model ) {
            $dir_name = $form->raw->post_name;
        }

        $new_path = '/' . $dir_name . '/' . date( 'Y' ) . '/' . date( 'm' );

And see if that does the trick for you.

Woah, that works greatly!
Can I ask you if it is possible to customize it?
I mean, in the form there’s a text box. Is it possible to create a directory based on the content of that text box?
Having a structure like:
/events/text a/ files
/text b/ files
where text a is written everytime by who is submitting the form. Could it be done?

Thanks in advance!
And.. awesome work/support|
