[EP-tech] Re: How to rename a file uploaded by a user automatically

Thx Volker!

I didn't have to look into it yet...

I will try your suggestion as soon as possible and let you know!

Best,

G.


Tim, thank's a lot for the hint.
The following now works for us, although it should be probably localized as described in http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Instructions_for_local_plugins
In perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/EPrint/UploadMethod.pm we added 2 lines to the sub class "action_add_format". 

	if( $filename =~ /^[A-Z]:/i )
	{
		$filename =~ s/^.*\\//;
	}
	else
	{
		$filename =~ s/^.*\///;
	}
my $eprintid = $self->{processor}->{eprint}->get_value( "eprintid" ); #added $filename =~ s/.+?\.([^.]*$|$)/new_first_part_of_the_filename_$eprintid\.$1/; #added 

Georgios, I hope it's also useful for you.

Best,
Volker

Hi,

EPrints doesn't support this. If you wanted to modify the core you would
need to look in:
perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/EPrint/UploadMethod.pm

And its sub-classes.
