Re: How to use fileupload component to replace a file with a newer version

Hi Matt,

That's actually my article and I have since made substantial
improvements and converted it into a full featured plugin. In the
most recent release of the file upload plugin you'll be able to
configure the plugin to overwrite uploads with the same name instead
of the plugin detecting if the file exists and then attempting to
change the filename as to not overwrite the previously uploaded file.

Here is the documentation/article:
http://www.webtechnick.com/blogs/view/221/CakePHP_File_Upload_Plugin

Here is the source:
http://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-FileUpload-Plugin

Hope that helps,
Nick
