Hi Matt, That's actually my article and I have since made substantial improvements and converted it into a full featured plugin. In the most recent release of the file upload plugin you'll be able to configure the plugin to overwrite uploads with the same name instead of the plugin detecting if the file exists and then attempting to change the filename as to not overwrite the previously uploaded file.
Here is the documentation/article: http://www.webtechnick.com/blogs/view/221/CakePHP_File_Upload_Plugin Here is the source: http://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-FileUpload-Plugin Hope that helps, Nick On May 24, 3:33 am, mattyh88 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using this fileupload component (http://bakery.cakephp.org/ > articles/view/file-upload-component-w-automagic-model-optional) on my > site to manage my PDF files.
