(SOLVED) Force filename change

Hello,

Some time ago, a guy helped me with a code for Gallery, where it would force Gallery to ignore the picture's filename and created them as aaa_001.jpg, aaa_002.jpg, etc...

I REALLY prefer that it does this.

But, since I upgraded to 2.2, the code does not work anymore.

Below is the old code for 2.1, which worked beautifully!!
Can someone please help me so this works on 2.2??

The file to edit is:
/www/gallery2/modules/core/classes/helpers/GalleryItemHelper_medium.class

    function addItemToAlbum($fileName, $itemName, $title, $summary,
			    $description, $mimeType, $albumId, $symlink=false) {
	global $gallery;
--------- THIS PART BELOW WAS THE ADDED CODE ----------------
	$platform = $gallery->getPlatform();
	list ($base, $extension) = GalleryUtilities::getFileNameComponents($fileName); 
	$itemName = 'aaa' . $extension; 

	$title = ""; 
	$summary = ""; 
	$description = ""; 

Thank you so much!!

Hi Dave!!! Yes, of course I tried... and what it does is it makes a HUGE long gibberish filename.

Look at these URLs:

Pic uploaded BEFORE upgrade to 2.2
gallery2/v/buddytaz/taz/aaa_007.html

Pic uploaded AFTER upgrade to 2.2
gallery2/v/buddytaz/taz/aaasite_htdocs_family_gallery2_g2data_tmp_MUF_E5Hh43.html

See?? Instead of a nice short "aaa_007.html"
I get "aaasite_htdocs_family_gallery2_g2data_tmp_MUF_E5Hh43.html"

It's putting the "aaa" in front of the filename, but then adding my whole server path after that and some gibberish "tmp_MUF_E5Hh43"!!

Why??? No idea.. I don't know anything about codes to figure out what could be wrong.

Very strange huh??

API info on addItem:

Just a wild guess that maybe $itemName is closer to what you want...it's worth a try at least.

If you add a item to gallery with the same filename the title of the item is saved. You can have more than one item in the same album wit the same name.
That said the path name to the item changes if you add items with the same name. EG: You add a item called picture.jpg and you add another item called picture.jpg the second item will now have the same name but the path will be amended with _001 to become picture_001.jpg

The code that does that is in /core/GalleryFileSystemEntityHelper_medium.class. look for:

    /**
     * Truncate the given path component to the maximum allowed length.
     * If an extension is given, it truncates the base and then appends the extension.
     * 
     * @param string basename of path component
     * @param string variable part (optional), e.g. '_001'
     * @param string extension (optional), e.g. '.jpg'
     * @return string truncated path component 
     * @acccess private
     */
    function _truncatePathComponent($baseName, $variablePart='', $extension='') {

	$length = 128 - strlen($variablePart) - strlen($extension);
	$baseName = GalleryCoreApi::utf8Substring($baseName, 0, $length);

	return $baseName . $variablePart . $extension;
    }

Dave
