  • The browser used: Firefox
  • cforms version: 10.5.2
  • Your Wordpress version: 2.8

[desc]:

I have my form set to upload to an attachments folder. Files appear as "noid_FILENAME.EXT".

When a subsequent upload is done with the same file name, the original upload is overwritten. So, if user 1 uploads an image called "image.jpg" and a second user later uploads a different image with the same name, "image.jpg", the original is overwritten.

As I am accepting large files I do not want to enable emailing of attachments as a backup. As my submissions are of a similar type, it is also likely that subsequent users could choose identical generic names for their files.

Is there any way to have uploaded files appended with a unique identifier so files are not overwitten by subsequent uploads? _
