- The File (Field) Paths module extends the default functionality of Drupals core
- File module, Image module and many other File upload modules, by adding the
- ability to use entity based tokens in destination paths and filenames.
- In simple terms, File (Field) Paths allows you to automatically sort and rename
- your uploaded files using token based replacement patterns to maintain a nice
- clean filesystem.
- File (Field) Paths was written and is maintained by Stuart Clark (deciphered).

- Frequently Asked Questions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q. Aren't tokens already supported in the File module?
- A. A limited selection of tokens are supported in the File module.
- Entity based tokens allow you to use the Entity ID, Title, creation date and
- much more in your directory/filenames where you would otherwise be unable.
- Q. Why aren't my files in the correct folder?
- A. When you are creating or updating an entity the full values for the tokens
- may not yet be known by Drupal, so the File (Field) Paths module will upload
- your files to the Fields old file path temporarily and then once you save the
- entity and Drupal is provided with the tokens values the file will be moved
- to the appropriate location.
- Q. Why is there a warning on the 'Retroactive updates' feature?
- A. Retroactive updates will go through every single entity of the particular
- bundle and move and/or rename the files.
- While there have been no reports of errors caused by the feature, it is quite
- possible that the moving/renaming of these files could break links. It is
- strongly advised that you only use this functionality on your developmental
- servers so that you can make sure not to introduce any linking issues.
