Forced naming of pictures
By slyhne
Hi,
I have a lot of lazy users, who doesn't use time to name their pictures. To get around that I have placed an extra line in /mod/tidypics/actions/upload.php for forced naming.
This line goes in around line 143:
$file->title = substr($name,0,strrpos($name,"."));
Users can always change the name of the picture, and I get rid of all the "unnamed" pictures.
Maybe something to add to the official release?
Regards

You must log in to post replies.Tidypics forces the renaming in the action that saves the title and descriptions.
@Tidypics Team
You are absolutely right, but in my experience users just navigate away from the form that sets title, description and cover-photo. So by forcing a title I finally got rid of unnamed pictures.
We're not communicating here. Tidypics already does what you're suggesting after someone submits the form with an empty name field.
You're absolutely right, but I have noticed that people doesn't submit the form (the one with title and descrition), they simply navigate away. That leaves pictures without a title.
In that context my fix is still the only way to ensure naming of pictures :-)
OK - I see what you're saying.
@shlyne Your fix will remove the default "unnamed" photos ? So it would be empty, is that right ?
@elHayaze
No, instead of "unnamed" it would be the file name without .jpg (or what ever).
Users can still put in a different name, but this way I get rid of "unnamed" for good.
