[Typo3-dev] user dependant storage of image files

[Michael H.E. Roth]

Thanks for answering, but that's not what I meant.

I wanted to change the uploadfolder for an Image-Field in the $TCA.
Now here is how I solved it:

Store the path in the User-Profile TSconfig:
plugin.extensionname.imagepath = this-users-path

  "imagefield" => Array (
   "exclude" => 1,
   "label" => "LLL:EXT:...",
   "config" => Array (
    "type" => "group",
    "internal_type" => "file",
    "allowed" => $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext'],
    "maxsize" => '1000',
    "uploadfolder" =>
'uploads/tx_.../'.$GLOBALS['BE_USER']->userTS['plugin.']['extensionname.']['imagepath'],
    "show_thumbs" => '1',
    "size" => "4",
    "maxitems" => "4",
    "minitems" => "0",
    "autoSizeMax" => 4,
   )
  ),

But to retrieve it I have to store the subpath in another field ... (which
is not accessible to the user)
  "imagepath" => Array (
   "exclude" => 1,
   "label" => "LLL:EXT:...",
   "config" => Array (
    "type" => "input",
    "size" => "25",
    "checkbox" => "",
    "eval" => "trim",
    "default" =>
$GLOBALS['BE_USER']->userTS['plugin.']['extensionname.']['imagepath'],
   )
  ),

Now, more elegant and flexible would it be if the subdir would be prepended
to the actual image-filename.
Is there a hook for doing something like that? And if so, where can I find
it? So far I don't have any experience with hooks (didn't need them yet).

Again thanks for all hints, tips and comments

Michael
