I'm looking for more control over how my uploaded files are stored and named, and FileField Paths was recommended. I've installed it to my test D6.12 server, and it shows up fine in the Modules list. But I'm not seeing any difference at all when I upload files. Is there any configuration that must be done? I'm uploading files using the standard Upload Files module, and I'd like to save myself from having hundreds of files all sitting loose within the /files directory, so I'd like to use FileField Paths to set up subdirectories if this is possible. Thanks.

Thanks to the amazingly helpful WorldFalz, I got some information about the basic setup, see:

http://drupal.org/node/475994

Maybe I'm unusually dense but it seems like something like this should be in the ReadMe? Maybe something like:

For Newbies:

To get started using FileField Paths after you install the module, go to
Administer >> Content Management >> Content Types.
Then click Edit on the Content Type you are uploading files with.
There is now a "Path Settings" section within the Workflow Settings section.

I have some questions about the specifics of using FileField Paths but I'll ask them in a separate msg.

Hi steve02476,

I'm glad you got your answer, but I will leave this issue open as the lack of documentation is definitely a problem.
Will put together a basic guide ASAP.

Cheers,

Project page has been updated with information regarding the configuration of the module, will be added to the README.TXT in a future build.
