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

Hello,

Please make sure that you are using the latest version of RSMail! (revision 6). You can refer to this article from our documentation where it is explained how you can update the component:

Hi

Im getting the same problem, and I purchased and downloaded yesterday. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I have the latest revision.

How can I retain the original file names? It looks sketchy to have those long file names of numbers and letters.

Thanks!

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( $files[$i],'.'.$extension));

with:

$filename = basename( $files[$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

Hello,

do somewhere know how does it work in revisin 9?

Best regards!

Hello,

There is no need to perform this modification in the latest revision (9) as it no longer performs the file name change if there isn't a file that is named the same.
