Assign Upload Dir Before UserID Dir is created or used

    I really like the interface for uploading files. It is clean, simple and attractive. I belong to a camera club and we are looking for ways for our members to upload images for competitions.

    Right now it seems to be creating directories in the root Uploads dir. Can we assign the root to be Uploads/2014Nov05 to at least identify which competition they are uploading to. We then could create a new page for each competition and having the short code on that page direct where files will be sent? I have someone who I believe can gather the files out of the directories into a single directory for displaying to our judges.

    Again, I really like what I see in the basic version. We would be more than happy to upgrade if the above is only avilable in the pro version.

    Thanks for the had work

    Have a look at the documentation for the Shortcode
    wtf_fu_upload

    In particular the attributes wtf_dir and wtf_subdir,
    These will achieve what you want.

    For example

    [wtf_fu_upload wtf_upload_dir=”competition_A” wtf_upload_subdir=”additional/subdir/location/if/needed”]

    You probably only need the wtf_upload_dir bit.

    just reread this and don’t think that I gave you useful
    info.

    The wtf_upload_dir=”competition_A” will cause

    files to go to uploads/<user_id>/competition_A

    But I think what you really want is something like

    uploads/competition_A/<user_id>

    So that all users are grouped under the same directory for a given shortcode instance.

    This cannot currently be done, but I think that this is worth doing so I will consider adding an extra attribute for (say WTF_UPLOAD_BASE_DIR ) in a future release.

    Yep, WTF_UPLOAD_BASE_DIR, would be a big help.
