Question

I am working on an implementation of plupload using flash to upload files to Amazon S3. I have the uploading of the files to S3 working perfectly except for one small problem. The issue is the setting ‘unique_names’ is not working. I always end up with file in S3 with the original file name. After some debugging I do see that the unique file name is created and passed on to the flash SWF for uploading but it is never used. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have to set up a file renaming function by writing custom code for the UploadFile Event.

This is what I did:

        preinit : {

         UploadFile: function(up, file) {
             up.settings.multipart_params.key = 'adjsdlasjdasdas.jpg';
         }
        },

Replace ‘adjsdlasjdasdas.jpg’; with your custom function for renaming.
