Can you change the location of where files are uploaded to? In the documentation it says:

Parameter name Default Value Purpose

file_destination_path none DEPRECATED

Thanks!

Depends on the context. If you're using a FileDataObjectManager, which is the context of most SWFUpload usage, you can just do:

$my_dom->setUploadDir("some/path");

But if you're using SWFUpload elsewhere, fallback on the config:

SWFUploadConfig::set_var('default_upload_dir', 'some/path');

I tried using the Config as you suggested, and maybe there is an updated way to do what I want now, but I was following the documentation. The file still ends up in the assets/Uploads folder.

Here is my code:

      
      public function UploadForm()
      {
        SWFUploadConfig::set_var('default_upload_dir', 'assets/Upload/ForFab');
          
          return new Form(
            $this,
            "UploadForm",
            new FieldSet(
                new TextField('Name'),
                new EmailField('Email'),
                new SWFUploadField(
                    "UploadForm",
                    "Drawings",
                    "Upload your drawing files...",
                    array(
                        'required' => 'true',
                        'browse_button_text' => 'Choose your file(s)'
                        
                    )
                )
            ),
            new FieldSet(
                new FormAction('doUploadSubmit', 'Send File')
            )
        );
      
      }

It belongs in _config.php, not your UploadForm function. It only counts when the handleswfupload() function runs. UploadForm() is not in play when the file is written.
