Allow custom folder names based on user data

[mec0-de]

In my Typo3-installation I´m not using the field "name" in user data. Instead of that we use "firstname" and "lastname" for seperating both parts.
But in a plupload config file it is only possible to choose from "username" and "name" as "folder from user data". It would be great if you could add this option.

Beyond that I need more complex user dependent folder names like:
title_of_config_file/firstname_lastname/current_date_time/
Maybe you could add more flexibility to this setting in the future so that I don´t need to edit the sourcecode to meet this requirement.

Thanks for your great work!

Seems like a very good idea to add something more flexible for directory configuration. Any idea how to achieve this? I would rather not introduce TypoScript. Perhaps some MARKERs in a string, parsed with regex?

I'm currently pretty busy with updating all my extension to TYPO3 8.x but I would happily merge a PR bringing more flexibility to this part of the extension!

For now, would adding an option with FIRSTNNAME_LASTNAME as naming scheme? This would be an easy task I guess. That's something I could add with the next minor or even patch release.

Please note there seems to be a bug related to this: #8

MARKERs in a string sounds good for me. Maybe these would make sense:

• {firstName}, {lastName}, {name}, {userName}
• {current_date}, {current_time}
• {config_name}

It would be great, if you could implement this some time later. I would be happy to help, but actually I don´t have enough skills in developing typo3 extensions. I´m working on this part :-)

The FIRSTNNAME_LASTNAME naming scheme would help for the short term but adding a date and time would be perfect.

As the mentioned bug was reported by me, I am looking forward to a patch (if possible with the naming scheme included).

I hope my comment doesn´t sound demanding. I´m very happy using your extension.
Again thanks for your work!

No problem at all. I will definitely fix the bug (sorry, didn't notice its you) soon and will try to add FIRSTNNAME_LASTNAME too. Added an item on my todo list :-)

Adding FIRSTNNAME_LASTNAME_TIMESTAMP seems a little to specific and should be solved by adding a more flexible naming scheme.
