Hi,

how can i define a dynamic path for every file that i want to save in my database?

e.g.

file\_1 = c:\objects$name\folder\_1  
file\_2 = c:\objects$name\folder\_2  
file\_3 = c:\objects$name\xxx

in the readme.rst i read about:

```
<?php
    // app/Model/User.php
    $this->Behaviors->Upload->settings['field']['path'] = $newPath;
    ?>

```

but i don’t know how i have to implement that for this problem.

Thanks for help.

Hi,

You can use proffer plugin for file uploading . You can also customize your file path.
