Drupal change file upload path

Drupal have a good technique to avoid name collisions, basically this is what Drupal does. If when you upload a new file with the same name of the old deleted file it might render in the client browser a wrong image. The issue occurs when last file gets deleted and then a different file with the original name is uploaded.

Keep in mind that this can happen with any frontend cache or CDN. To avoid this kind of issues we implemented the File Field Paths module. This module lets you change the file name and the destination path by using entity based tokens. A modal window shall open showing the different kind of available tokens to use. You have to click the tokens you want to implement for the path or file name, also you can concat characters between each token by typing it in the input.

That was the reason why I created field Folder in may taxonomy vocabulary. Each book has a regular title and its folder which differs for the purpose of sorting visually.

I don't get what you want Please be more specific So rename token values? You can have that filed "Folder" in vocabulary but i don't understand why you need it for uploading files That was the reason for my Folder field existence.

I have about books and names of books are not the same as subfolder names. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
