Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/30775 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/30775 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: upload.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Souvent22 Reported by: timcn Updated by: Boris Mann Status: patch (code needs review) It's a good idea. Does it make sense to have filename --> filepath mapping as part of the file API? I would certainly say that that should be part of the information stored (i.e. there is a column for "name" in the table), but it would be up to modules to implement this.

Normally, only the file name shows up. This adds an additional input field to supply a title for the file that is displayed instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 09 Sep 2005 15:33:48 +0000 : Souvent22 Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/upload_3.patch (6.37 KB) Made a better patch in the correct format. But, this is a good patch. DEF helps to be able to "describe" your file via a label instead of via the filename. I hope this gets to head soon. It's the little things that matter. :). I also made the label size larger, from 128 to 255. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 09 Sep 2005 15:39:59 +0000 : Bèr Kessels Hi, please read http://drupal.org/node/22568 for how to submit patches. But besides that, I do not think this feature will make it into drupal. The current upload system is aimed at simplicity. If you need a differnt name, you should rename it locally, or use a contributed file managing module. But that is just my opinion. Others might like it!
