Hi All, I have a custom type extending dmFile. This type has generic, sequential numbering, so I wanted to rename whatever filename someone wanted to upload to some standard (based on a required input variable). I found the function "validate" for the formtool ftType="file" and figured that I could simply extend this within the component definition of the custom type.
However, things don't seem to be working, so the simple question is: do I actually need to extend the formtool "file" to create a new formtool type (with the validate function expanded as below) and then use that as the ftType? Specifically, I'm looking at the "validate" function, and I added: <cfargument name="objectID" required="true" type="UUID" hint="The ID of the object I am considering to get more info"> <cfargument name="typename" required="true" type="string" hint="Typename of the object in question."> Then to get object data: <cfset stObj = createObject("component", application.stcoapi["#attributes.typename#"].packagePath) /> <cfset stProperties = stObj.getData(objectID = attributes.objectID) /> And to read it out: <cfset cleanFileName = "#stProperties.<myNumberingProperty>#.#listLast(newFileName,'.')#"/> I figured by putting it in the spot where it checks for wierd first characters, I would always catch the filename and change it.
