Hello to all, as i wanna limit the access to the form to only registered users i also would like to know if it's possible to automatically set a prefix (hidden for the users) to file uploads so i can know which user has uploaded the files.

I would generate the prefix dinamically using the Wordpress global variable $user_login http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo

So an example: the registered user Joe access the form and upload a file called sample.zip, in the upload folder of my web server so i should have the file named Joe_sample.zip

thanks,
Simone from Italy

Hello Simone,
We don't have a hook to easily allow you to change the file name as the file is uploaded. However, you can use the gform_after_submission hook to rename the file after it has been uploaded.
Following is a documentation of that hook.

You will need to read the $entry variable to get the current file name. You will then have to rename the actual file as well as update the database record to match the new file name.
