You will need to modify two files.</p> <p>1) includes/post-functions.php</p> <p>search around line 876-881, you'll find this code:</p> <pre><code>//move file and check for invalid file $destination_file = DATA_DIR.&quot;/form_{$form_id}/files/{$element_name}-{$record_insert_id}-{$_FILES[$element_name][&#39;name&#39;]}&quot;; if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$element_name][&#39;tmp_name&#39;], $destination_file)) { $query = &quot;update ap_form_{$form_id} set $element_name=&#39;{$element_name}-{$record_insert_id}-{$_FILES[$element_name][&#39;name&#39;]}&#39; where id=&#39;$record_insert_id&#39;&quot;; do_query($query); }</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> replace it with this one:</p> <pre><code>//move file and check for invalid file $destination_file = DATA_DIR.&quot;/form_{$form_id}/files/{$_FILES[$element_name][&#39;name&#39;]}&quot;; if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$element_name][&#39;tmp_name&#39;], $destination_file)) { $query = &quot;update ap_form_{$form_id} set $element_name=&#39;{$_FILES[$element_name][&#39;name&#39;]}&#39; where id=&#39;$record_insert_id&#39;&quot;; do_query($query); }</code></pre> <p><code></code></p> <p>2) download.php</p> <p>search around line 32 - 34 for this code:</p> <pre><code>//remove the element_x-xx- suffix we added to all uploaded files $file_1 = substr($filename_only,strpos($filename_only,&#39;-&#39;)+1); $filename_only = substr($file_1,strpos($file_1,&#39;-&#39;)+1);</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> remove the code above.</p> <p>That should do it. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/element_7-22-sunsetjpg#post-1309 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 20:34:43 +0000 tomsen 1309@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I understand that theory<br /> but i absolutely need to get rid of the prefix<br /> in whit’s file is the code for the upload function cant the prefix element be excluded </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/element_7-22-sunsetjpg#post-1308 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 17:20:36 +0000 yuniar 1308@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>It can't be removed.<br /> MachForm needs it to prevent your users overwriting the same file name.</p> <p>So if user A uploads Sunset.jpg and user B uploads another file with the same name Sunset.jpg, it won't overwrite the other file.</p> <p>However, those prefix are automatically removed when you download those files. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/element_7-22-sunsetjpg#post-1307 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 16:56:04 +0000 tomsen 1307@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi</p> <p>how can i get rid of the element_7-22- counter wen a user uplods a file </p>
