Re: [Semediawiki-user] [SF] Using <unique number> in a field

[James H. K. <jam...@gm...>]

Hi,

We are using a template for generating a unique {{UUID}}, which is a
hidden field in the form definition.

{{{field|uuid|hidden|default={{UUID}} }}}

Unfortunately this only works for normal field definition, it does not
work for fields defined as uploadable (for example setting a unique
default file name such as {{{field|file|uploadable|default
filename={{UUID}} }}}).

PS:

Stephan, maybe if you have time you could have a look at how to set a
default file name via a template, so files can get a unique file name
such as time stamp or uuid, this would also mean that the behaviour in
the form for default= and default filename= would be similar.

Cheers,

MWJames
