I've had this answered years before, but can't find that post.

We upgraded dnn to 4.08 recently and also updated the Repository module, which overwrote some 'customization' to the code.  Oops.  We want files uploaded and downloaded to retain thier original names instead of adding the random string of characters at the end when uploaded.  It was a very simple fix, one or two lines of code?  But can't find it now.  Repository module version 03.01.13

Thanks!

I appear to be having this issue with a repository that I have in place.  repository v3.01.14, DNN v4.8.4.

When we upload a file to our repository, the filename written to the database has the GUID included, and it appears that the file written to the server also includes the GUID, so the files aren't being found (I figured out that the code strips out the GUID in the database to retrieve the actual file name?).  So,,, I went through and removed all the GUID from the file names on the server, and the files could be found.

However, I need to make the change to URLCONTROLFILE so going forward the uploaded file names aren't mangled, but want to make sure where I need to make that change.  Is it in ALL the files called form.html in each repository template directory?  My client uploaded some updated files yesterday, and the files are now duplicated - one with the GUID, one without,,,,

as always, thanks for the help
