    • (SOLVED) Help with trackers: file uploads

    Posted by Federico Roitberg

    Hi! I want to make a form for an art residency aplication. We ask applicants to submit a few files. What happends if they submit a file with the same name?

    I saw there is a Directory pattern option but don't understand what does only valid with direct mapping file gallery storage means. Maybe this is the clue but can't make it work.

    I have some other issues with trackers but lets begin with this.

    Thanks!

    Hi @Federico Roitberg

    If you add a Files field to your tracker it will look after the naming of the files, you can set the File Gallery it uses to store the files to allow files with the same names (or not), and Tiki uses the fileId to reference each file so you will be able to see which user uploaded which file (as long as they save the tracker item properly).

    Hope that helps a bit, come along to the Chat or Roundtable Meeting 2025 08 later today and maybe we can demystify some of this for you?

    Welcome!

    I'll check this weekend if it works as needed. Thanks very much for the answer.

    Perfect, Ok, ran over other issues but uploading several files with the same name works perfect. Thanks!
