set upload document at runtime

Hi,

is it possible to set the filename at runtime…
I have our docs library linked to our fax service, on the options menu is an item “send to fax”, which just calls the “send fax” (just a phpmaker add form) form that requests the fax number and some other details, but its on this form that the user can select the document to fax… which is where I would like to set the filename to the one I just passed to the add form if possible…

I see the posted variables to the add fax form, but setting the attachment field doesn’t appear to work…

$this->fax_documents->Upload->FileName = get(“DocumentName”, “”);
$this->fax_documents->CurrentValue = $this->fax_documents->Upload->FileName;

doesn’t display the filename, so not sure if it will pickup the file to upload…

Use the Row_Inserting / Row_Updating server event if you want to change the upload file.

As mentioned by arbie, you may simply use “Row_Inserting” and/or “Row_Updating” server event to change the filename, for example:

$rsnew[“FileName”] = “myfilename.jpg”; // adjust FileName to your actual field name
