assets/files/1234/ naming conventions

[fruid]

Hello all,

what are the naming conventions of the image-folders in assets/files/1234/ ?

Is there a way to customize the serialisation? 

many thanks!

The naming convention is actually the page ID, so 1234 in your example is the page whose id is 1234.

is it  possible to use subfolders like: assets/files/folder/subfolder/1234/image.jpg?

is it possible to use a custom page ID?
I guess I would need to create a field (e.g. with the name custom_id) for the template and then put something like…

$page->id = $page->custom_id;

thanks for you help!

I'm not sure I understand your goal here.

When you are coding your template files, Processwire sets $page to the current page. Therefore, the $page->id represents that page. I don't know why you would want to change the id. Or are you referring to a custom URL?

changing the ID would make migration and finding files easier. I know that $page->id represents that ID and is set automatically when I create a page. I was just wondering, since I would enter a custom ID when creating a page, if I could overwrite this ID before or right after its creation.

You'd be setting yourself up for all sorts of complications. You really don't want to go there.

How so? Manually finding files?

OK thanks, I can live with that ?
