Check the config parameter $upload_directory

Best,

I need to override that setting. He needs to be able to choose the directory dynamically. His files are categorized in the filesystem by directory. So each file is uploaded to a different directory than the last. He has thousands of directories.

You could try adding the directory as a field to the table you are uploading files to then once the file is submitted use an operational hook to move it to the correct location.

I will look at that idea. I have learn about operational hooks.

Thanks

This is a great workaround if the goal is just to upload the file in the directory you want, but DaDaBIK will then miss the file so, for example, if you click on the file from the form, DaDaBIK can't open it.
Maybe you can try to combine this with a dynamic setting of $upload_directory, maybe you can set it each time according to your preferences in the startup function.

Good point, perhaps you could leave the file where it is and create a symbolic link in the desired directory??
