solution
go to upload.php, find the function that gets the file name
add a prefix to it

For the benefit of other users, I guess you're talking about that line:

Code Select Expand

$picture_name = replace_forbidden($picture_name);

E.g. you have to change it to

Code Select Expand

$picture_name = replace_forbidden('my_prefix_' . $picture_name);

The same change has to be applied to db_input.php if you want to use it with the simple upload form.

To avoid modifying core files I've added a new plugin hook 'upload_file_name' to our svn repository in revision 8251. As an example I also added a plugin, which adds a random suffix to your newly uploaded files' names.

yeah that's one of the ways
however i personally prefer adding an extra line after that (in case some1 need it)
   $picture_name = 'lalalallalalala.org '.$picture_name;
bcuz replace_forbidden function will replace "." and " " with under score
we could modify the replace_forbidden function so that it ignores certain characters
but that just extra modifications, or maybe in the admin setting has these values im not sure

and yes, like andre says, do the same to db_input.php

Hi Eudemon, (again)

What "moderator thingy" are you ralking about? 

[Eudemon]

oh hi lurkalot
by that i mean moderation permissions (assigned to specific member or group to have move, edit, delete  etc others' upload)
just like a board moderator in smf

the last time i searched here i saw someone (i think it's andre) said it was planed as a core feature
but didn't get done bcuz didn't have proper documentation??

I'd love this feature too tbh, but not sure how easy / difficult it would be especially when using a bridged setup, like Coppermine bridged with SMF 2.0.2 for example.   If I were you, I'd add your suggestion to the Feature requests board.

[Eudemon]

  i thought it's alrdy planned by the team
adding permission to bridged setup should be easy i think, since coppermine alrdy have some permissions based bridged users/groups
the difficult part is writing this new permission up in the main script, i don't rly know how cop is setup so if im wrong forgive me

i did a search in the feature request board, it seems like moderator permission is been asked numerous times
