Topic: uploaded files get weird filenames

Hi,

After much hair tugging, I've mostly got pluploader working on my site. I'm using the 'upload.php' file from the examples folder, and it all works apart from the fact that every file i upload gets the filename changed to a random string of letters and numbers.

any ideas?

Re: uploaded files get weird filenames

in you plupload object set

unique_names : false,

try again then.

Re: uploaded files get weird filenames

ah yes, didn't see that! Thanks - that's sorted now.

PS a note to the mods - this is a really great plugin and I chose it above several other things that sort of do the same thing, BUT...

Your documentation might make sense to you and to people who code at your level but to those of us who just build websites and use bits like this when we need to it might as well be written in sanskrit. I reckon you'd get a lot more users if the docs were re-written with an understanding that not everyone's as good at this stuff as you!
