“Blueimp jQuery File Upload” rename files

Question

I\'m using the Blueimp jQuery file upload tool. I\'d like to completely rename the files as they\'re uploaded. Since photos are being added to a unique directory based on the us

Old post, but as I was searching the same thing today, I post my solution hoping it will help someone.

I edited the UploadHandler.php file in this way:

        //custom function which generates a unique filename based on current time
        protected function generate_unique_filename($filename = "")
            {

                $extension = "";
                if ( $filename != "" )
                {
                    $extension = pathinfo($filename , PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

                    if ( $extension != "" )
                    {
                        $extension = "." . $extension;
                    }
                }

                return md5(date('Y-m-d H:i:s:u')) . $extension;
            }


            protected function handle_file_upload($uploaded_file, $name, $size, $type, $error,
                    $index = null, $content_range = null) {
                $file = new \stdClass();

                //MYEDIT to generate unique filename
                $file->name = $this->generate_unique_filename($name);

                //ORIGINAL LINE: $file->name = $this->get_file_name($uploaded_file, $name, $size, $type, $error, $index, $content_range);

                //...
}
