Hi i have a CF7 form with file upload field. I am using Contact Form DB (Thanks for this awesome plugin) for saving entries.

now i want to change the file name to something like (filename.pdf to username_date_filename.pdf)

I read ur tutorial on modifying data before saving but i am unable to get the way to do this because my PHP knowledge is very limited. Can u please help me with how to accomplish this.

I am trying to use this function into “shortcode actions & filters” plugin, but the filename is not changed

function changefilename ($formData){
    $formName = 'vbdcp'; // change this to your form's name
	
	// CHANGE THIS: upload field name on your form
    $fieldName = 'VBDCPReport'; 
    
	if ($formData && $formName == $formData->title && isset($formData->uploaded_files[$fieldName])) {
       
        $path = pathinfo($formCopy->uploaded_files[$fieldName]);
      
	$newfile = $formData->posted_data['InstituteName'] . '_' . $path['basename'];
 
	$formData->posted_data['NVBDCPReport'] = $newfile;
		
    }
    return $formData;
}
 
add_filter('cfdb_form_data', 'changefilename');

please guide me with correct method…
