File Upload Timestamp Fix

 

When files are being uploaded, the timestamp appears in the extension. Is there a way to make it appear before the filename instead?

This code will add the date before the filename and keeps the extension intact.

In Build 730 and higher, open the following file:

/components/com_breezingforms/facileforms.process.php

in Build 729 and lower, open the following file:

/components/com_facileforms/facileforms.process.php

 

Look for:

line 3821 (normal upload)

      $path = $baseDir.'/'.$userfile_name;
      if ($timestamp) $path .= '.'.date('YmdHis');
      if (file_exists($path)) {
            $rnd = md5( mt_rand(0, mt_getrandmax()) );
            $path = $baseDir.'/'.$rnd.'_'.$userfile_name;
            if ($timestamp) $path .= '.'.date('YmdHis');
            if (file_exists($path)) {
                  $this->status = _FF_STATUS_UPLOAD_FAILED;
                  $this->message = BFText::_('PROCESS_FILEEXISTS');
                  return '';
            }
      } // if

Replace it with:

if ($timestamp) $time_path = date('YmdHis')."_";
      $path = $baseDir.'/'.$time_path.$userfile_name;
      if (file_exists($path)) {
            $this->status = _FF_STATUS_UPLOAD_FAILED;
            $this->message = BFText::_('PROCESS_FILEEXISTS');
       return '';
      } // if


Next, find:

line 3916 (flash upload)

    $path = $baseDir.'/'.$userfile_name;
    if ($row->flag1) $path .= '.'.date('YmdHis');
    if (file_exists($path)) {
          $rnd = md5( mt_rand(0, mt_getrandmax()) );
          $path = $baseDir.'/'.$rnd.'_'.$userfile_name;
          if ($row->flag1) $path .= '.'.date('YmdHis');
          if (file_exists($path)) {
                $this->status = _FF_STATUS_UPLOAD_FAILED;
                $this->message = BFText::_('PROCESS_FILEEXISTS');
                return '';
          }
    } // if


Replace it with:

    if ($row->flag1) $time_path = date('YmdHis')."_";
          $path = $baseDir.'/'.$time_path.$userfile_name;
          if (file_exists($path)) {
                $this->status = _FF_STATUS_UPLOAD_FAILED;
                $this->message = BFText::_('PROCESS_FILEEXISTS');
           return '';
    } // if
