TOPIC: Modifying destination location for file uploads

Modifying destination location for file uploads 13 years 1 month ago #16797

Hi,

I'm trying to create a way to upload files to our backend file system, but would like to change the location of the destination depending on attributes of the user.

For Example:

Bob has a user attribute that shows he is male.
Susan has a user attribute that shows she is female.

I am writing a form that does basic file uploading to a specific backend directory, /home/site/uploads/males or /home/site/uploads/females depending on who is doing the uploading.

If Bob is logged in, files that he uploads will go automatically to the /home/site/uploads/males directory. using the same form, Susan can upload a file that will go automatically to the /home/site/uploads/females directory.

I would like to write a script that pulls that user attribute, checks whether they are male or female then places a file submission in the correct backend.

Anybody have any thoughts or advice?
