Set filename on upload or download

Hi all,

Im trying to figure out how to force a filename change using the standard upload or download functions to //s3. It doesn’t matter when the change happens, as long as the filename is set to the correct name when downloaded by the client.

So somebody uploads a file with a random name, say: WZXY.txt, and when someone downloads that file the name will be corrected to, say: ##-XYZ.txt

Many thanks!

What’s your workflow to download the file? I’m fairly sure you can dynamically set it there depending on what file download plugin you are using.

Thanks for the reply,

Its pretty straight forward, there’s an upload button, which disappears after user ‘A’ uploads the file, a link takes its place so user ‘B’ knows its available and downloadable as needed. The file is associated with a specific record in a table.

When retrieved, the files name needs to have a certain naming convention, which is a concatenation of several columns in a table.

I’m aware that I could just reject the file if the name is not correct by deleting after upload, but I don’t want to go down that road as I have reluctant users. I need it to be pain-free so they can upload the file with any name knowing that it will download with the correct name.

Hope that explanation is coherent…

Sounds pretty straightforward :slight_smile:

I more meant screenshots of your actual workflows set up in bubble :wink:

How are you uploading the file? Through bubble’s file uploader element? I’d set the file name after upload by using the ‘a Uploader File is uploaded’ action

Hey,

I don’t seem to have that action available to me :frowning:

So it appears you are using EzCode’s plugin not the bubble file uploader.

I’m not familiar with the plugin but check out the plugin page is here Base64 File Uploader & Downloader Plugin | Bubble

And it looks like you can set the file name dynamically on upload

Hey thanks, yeah I’m not actually using the EZ uploader, its just in the list as I was trying other ways and it didn’t seem to work as I wanted, but ill give it another go.

The so called EZ uploader makes no sense to me. Where/when is the actual prompt to select a local file? The ‘contents’ field as you have it is just referencing a multiline field. Im trying to upload specific file types such as PDFs etc.

Yay. Found what I needed:
