attachment file names 2 years, 2 months ago #9169

karen.steiner OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 2	Hi, When I add a file attachment to an email, RSMail changes the name of the file to some obscure collection of letters and numbers. Does that happen to everyone? Is it possible to retain the file attachment name? Thanks

	If you use RSForm! Pro, please post a rating and a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory. Reply Quote

Hi all !
I submitted a ticket and got the following answer:

----------------------------------------------
I do not recommend performing any changes on this issue. This was designed as a security measure for uploading duplicates. This will require source code modifications that will be lost upon updating the component.

However if you do wish to make this modifications then you can try editing the file administrator/components/com_rsmail/controllers/messages.php and around line 57 replace this:

$filename = md5(uniqid('',FALSE)."_". basename( $files['name'][$i],'.'.$extension));

with:

$filename = basename( $files['name'][$i],'.'.$extension);
-------------------------------------------

As you see they have a reason for doing so and you only can change this behavior by modifying the source-code. Certainly it is recommended not to do so - as described above.

But I did this modify and now filenames remain unchanged when uploaded.

Best regards
Christine
