FileField Paths 1.1 out now.

I'm happy to say that FileField Paths has finally hit version 1.1 and is available for Drupal 5 and Drupal 6 right now.

The most significant changes are as such:

  • Support for the Upload module.

    Given the name, FileField Paths was originally written as an add-on for the FileField module, but it became apparent that there really was no need to limit the functionality.

    You can now use FileField Paths to provide configurable paths and file names for Drupals built-in Upload module.

    Configuration can be found under the Attachments section in the Workflow settings fieldset of your content-type configuration.

  • Retroactive changes

    I have previously written about this functionality here, but for those who have not read it, Retroactive changes adds the ability to rename and/or move files previously uploaded.

    As Retroactive changes has to look through all nodes of the content-type you are modifying and as it physically moves files on your filesystem, it is strongly advised to only use this feature on a development server or to use extreme caution while using.

  • API Hooks to expand functionality with sub-modules

    As some of the requested features, or features I personally wanted to implement, fell outside of my core vision for the module, I have now implemented some API Hooks to allow extended functionality in other Drupal modules.

    Two modules I have developed using these hooks are ImageField Tokens and File Aliases.
