Display proper filename instead of generated filename?

bpahe

Hello everyone! I´m new to Vanilla but very impressed so far, using self-hosted installation.

When uploading files using the included function in 2.2, files are re-named to something like "fi2i5u2cc3cg.pdf" instead of "filename.pdf". Is there a way to keep the original filename, to make it easier to work with files for users?

Thanks in advance!

I have found another post regarding the issue, however the problem then was the FileUpload plugin. The code seems to have changed since then so I cannot apply the suggested solution.

FileUpload is still the addon that handles file uploads in the advanced editor.

Well, thanks for the answer, I guess, but could you at least point to which file to edit since I can't seem to find it. The plugin is not included in my installation so I need to tinker elsewhere.

You are able to upload files without the FileUpload addon?

The Advanced Editor doesn't require the FileUpload plugin to upload files.

I recently submitted a patch to the advanced editor that does what you want:

That´s exactly what I need, but adding the line and clearing the cache does no difference?
