Yes, as defined in the transferTo function in your model. Here's a sample one that sticks it under a user directory and uses a UUID as the filename so there aren't conflicts (so something like /media/transfer/doc/user/550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000.doc):

function transferTo($via, $from) {

extract($from);

$irregular = array(

'image' => 'img',

'text' => 'txt'

);

$name = Mime_Type::guessName($mimeType ? $mimeType : $file);

if (empty($extension)) {

$extension = Mime_Type::guessExtension($mimeType ? $mimeType : $file);

}

if (isset($irregular[$name])) {

$short = $irregular[$name];

} else {

$short = substr($name, 0, 3);

}

$path  = $short . DS;

$path .= 'user' . DS; // make this as dynamic as you want

$path .= String::uuid(); // uses a uuid as the doc name instead

$path .= !empty($extension) ? '.' . strtolower($extension) : null;

return $path;

}

This is defined on the model that $actsAs Media.Transfer.

Hello all,

With cake media plugin can we configure the plugin to create dynamic subdirectories dynamically inside the transfer folder without changing the plugin core code.

Example with default settings I can transfer document files to WWW_ROOT/media/transfer/doc/test.doc

Could we configure it to transfer document files to WWW_ROOT/media/transfer/doc/{subdirectory}/test.doc

Regards

James
