    specify the location to upload datatype

    Hi : ) , i use "upload" datatype as a generic property in one of my document types, it works great

    but is there a way that i can determine the location of the uploaded files to be saved on the server, coz all of the files are stored on the root , and i want to make a folder for these files,

    any clue ?

    thanks :)

    Hi,

    Take a look at http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/files-in-the-config-folder/umbracosettingsconfig and the setting UploadAllowDirectories

    This will automatically generate directories for files to go into. If you do need to be very specific about which directory files are saved into, I think you're going to need a custom data type. You could base it on the source for the standard Upload Field data type.
