Using “frm_upload_folder” filter

All Topics → → Using “frm_upload_folder” filter

Is it possible, from within the filter, to access other form fields?

For example, in a form I want to add a hidden field called “UploadFolder” where I specify the upload folder for the file being uploaded. Then read that from within the filter and use it so that I can upload to different folders specified in different forms.

I think this is what you're looking for?

Awesome, thanks!  So when I press SUBMIT, the form data is submitted to the same page, correct?

So I would add the filter code to that same page...?

Please see this page for brief instructions on using custom code.

Okay, thanks.

In the original link you gave, you recommended using the form ID number to get a form value.  However, that number will be different for different posts. -> "You can try changing $post->post_name to $_POST['item_meta'][25] (replace 25 with the id of the field)"

Is it possible to get a value using the form data using the Field Key name instead?

The field key is also unique for each field, but you can use this to get the field id from the key.

global $frmdb;
$field_id = $frmdb->get_var($frmdb->fields, array('field_key' => 'key_here')); //replace key_here with your field key
$field_val = $_POST['item_meta'][$field_id];
