Hi,
I have a flexinode that is image based. When a user uploads an image I want to hook into the upload method and capture certain information first and depending on that info change the destination location for the image.
Anyone have any suitable ideas for hooking into this?
Thanks
Bernard

If I get it right, you want to use upload.module's APIs for a file upload field in flexinode?
My advice is: don't. upload.module is fine for what it does (uploading files with nodes) but crap for anything else. It is not modular, its apis are nothing more then internal functions and so on.
I would adice you to use filesystem for a flexinode field. filesystem is a very good API

Was hoping to find a very simple way to do that.
