Hi,

Is it possible to dynamically rename a file uploaded with the "file "custom field please?
I have red some tips about unique_filename_callback function, but it is beyond my level...
I would like to add a prefix with the username and some text to each uploaded files.

The files are uploaded to a custom folder, you already helped me to do it here:

Best regards

Hi,

Here is an example to add the text 1234 to the file name:

function my_unique_filename_callback( $dir, $name, $ext ) {
    $name = $name . '1234';
    return $name . $ext;
}

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );
function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {

    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title'  => __( 'Post Meta', 'your-text-domain' ),
        'id'     => 'post-meta',
        'fields' => [
            [
                'name'                     => __( 'File', 'your-text-domain' ),
                'id'                       => 'file',
                'type'                     => 'file',
                'upload_dir'               => WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/invoices/',
                'unique_filename_callback' => 'my_unique_filename_callback',
            ],
        ],
    ];
    return $meta_boxes;
}

Thank you for your support!

Your example works for a text prefix, but I don't know how to add username as a prefix too. Here is my code:

<div>

function my_unique_filename_callback( $dir, $name, $ext ) {
    $name = 'emargements_' . $name;
    return $name . $ext;
}

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'metabox_file_upload_formateurs_emargements' );

function metabox_file_upload_formateurs_emargements( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    $user_login = $current_user->user_login;

$meta_boxes[] = [
    'title'      => __( 'Documents formateurs', 'your-text-domain' ),
    'id'         => 'documents-formateurs',
    'fields'     => [
        [
            'id'   => $prefix . 'file_docformateursemarge',
            'name' => __( 'Documents formateurs émargements', 'your-text-domain' ),
            'type' => 'file',
            'upload_dir' => ABSPATH . 'myfile/' . $user_login . '/emargements',
            'unique_filename_callback' => 'my_unique_filename_callback',
        ],
    ],
];

return $meta_boxes;

}

</div>

Hi,

You can use the function to get the user login name as the code that registers the meta box to add the user name to the file name.

function my_unique_filename_callback( $dir, $name, $ext ) {
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    $user_login = $current_user->user_login;
    $name = 'emargements_' . $user_login . '_' . $name;
    return $name . $ext;
}

It's ok, thank you again!
Last question... each time I send a file wordpress creates a new post with attached file. Is it possible to skip this?
And the the uploaded file is renamed with the extension. myfile.png becomes username_myflie.png.png

The unique_filename_callback parameters are not documented, nor is the return value in https://docs.metabox.io/fields/file/
