is there a way to rename files during the upload progress within the Wordpress 3.0 backend? I would like to have a consistent naming of files, especially for images.
I think an 12 (+-) digit hash value of the original filename or something similar would be awesome. Any suggestions?
Regards
I implemented the same thing, I wanted a more random filename, than the original, as the site I am using this for is for pics only and all files are in one directory.
i did the following
return md5($ip . uniqid(mt_rand(), true)) . $ext;
I was really looking for a plugin that could do it properly, and finally I ended up making this one myself. It's available on my blog: http://www.meow.fr/media-file-renamer ! If you use it, please give me a feedback :) I sincerely hope it helps!
