File path doesn't update automatically after node editing

Hi Dr Nick (sigent),

Did you run update.php after updating the module? You should ALWAYS run update.php after updating a module.

If you did, then I will require more information to determine the issue; In what way is it not working? Is there an error? etc.

I have the same issue. However, I didn't upgrade. I did a fresh install, and this feature doesn't exist. Whenever I update a field, the filenames remain the same as they were when I originally created the node. What information would you need to further diagnose this issue?

Hi avolkman,

Can you walk me through what you did after enabling the module on your drupal site? Did you configure the settings, and if so what values did you set?

I went into

CCK -> Manage Fields -> Configure -> Path Settings

There I set the File Path (in this case "weekly") and the File Name ("[field_date-date].[filefield-extension-original]"). I then clicked Save field settings. Now, upon creating new content, the file I uploaded was correctly named by the field_date-date. Upon editing, however, the file retained the original field_date-date and not the updated date.

Sorry, I must have misunderstood the original issue. This is expected behaviour.

There is a feature request for what you're after at #373094: Retroactive like behavior when changing token source, feel free to subscribe and add your thoughts.

In the mean time, you can simply run the Retroactive Updates functionality to update the path.

Cheers,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction =)
