Adapt output image names into costum prefix with autonumbering.

Reply Quote

Greetings,

First of all thank you for the wonderfull plugin. Works like a charm.

But now I want to extend the plugin a bit.

I allready went through the forums and noticed that it is possible to define a costum prefix to output the image names.

Now i want to do the following.

upload: fotoABC.jpg / test564.jpg / building.jpg

now I want that the files are being saved with the following prefix.

uploaded files: picProj1_1.jpg / picProj1_2.jpg / picProj1_3.jpg.

I already found how to define the prefix: picProj1_

But now i'm facing problems how to implement an autonumbering.

Is there a costum function to count the images selected and then change the name into the current number.

I already found that there is a count(); function included but that is client side, and i couldn't parse the counted numbers.

If possible to show me a fix

Kind Regards,

Thibaut

Dear Zijkant,

There isn't a known function to handle this,

uploaded files: picProj1_1.jpg / picProj1_2.jpg / picProj1_3.jpg.

These are file name of uploaded files, picproj1 is the file prefix, you can write code to get the "_n" . For example, you can read target folder, If you only find one existing file in target folder, you can call next file as picProj1-2.jpg ;

If you find three existing files in target folder, you can call next file as picProj1-4.jpg.

Thank you for asking

Thanks for the fast reply.

I fixed it as follow:

in file: include_phpuploader.php

I created an $_SESSION named "tellerPics" who keeps count of the pictures i uploaded.

I placed the session in the following function

function _ValidateFile($filename,$filesize)
{
$_SESSION['tellerPics'] +=1;
}

then in the file: ajaxuploadhandler.php

I included the session into my naming prefix.

if( $uploader->SaveDirectory )
{
$targetfilepath= "$wd/picProj" . $_SESSION['projectID'] . "_". $_SESSION['tellerPics'] .".jpg";
}

Hope this will also help some people.

Notice: When you initialise your $phpuploader->render(); you have to be sure that your session has been reset!
