Force gallery to rename

ski-whiz · June 4th, 2008, 10:25 PM

I've been trying to get the gallery to rename the image files all the time when there's an upload.

I've tried this with limited sucess: http://www.photopost.com/forum/vbgal...ndom-name.html

What seems to be happening is the filename is going through the random number generation twice. So I end up with a filename of "XXXXX_random_random.gif"... So that mod doesn't really work.

The wierd part of that, is that the thumbnail is created the way it should be. It's just the file name.

I was thinking, there should be a way to just toggle the logic..

If I take this line:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And remove change it to this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Basically toggling the if exists line, it should auto generate a random name. However every method I try, it generates the name twice..

So when I upload a file "test.jpg", I end up with "test_544343_525348.jpg". It appears it's getting sent through it twice.

Is there an easy way to force the gallery to rename every upload??

It seems that method is falling victim to the same issue I am above. It's creating a second random md5 number..

So I think there's a process I'm missing which is causing it to get generated again..

I'll do some more testing. It should not of ran 2 times.
What PHP version are you running ?

I'm running PHP Version 5.2.4..

Here's an example of what it's doing:

Test - tttestttttt Animated Gif Dump

Just so you can see that it seems to be running through twice (well, physically the name is only ran once, but the filename stored for that image shows it ran through twice)...

Here's the actual filename that is stored in the filesystem:

Zachariah,

Have you had any luck with this?

Maybe someone else could help me with this.

I can read and understand some of the code. I just can't find out where and why it seems to be going through twice.

I'm trying to get this portion of my site open, and this is holding it up..

So I'm getting desperate for help.....
