Brief description:
- Have you ever wanted to use a variety of tokens to customize the directory and file names of your uploaded files? There’s a module for that.
Module name/project name:
- File (Field) Paths
Brief history
- How old: created in July 2008 by Stuart Clark (Deciphered), though recent releases are by Oleh Vehera (voleger) of Golems GABB
- Versions available: 7.x-1.2 and 8.x-1.0-beta7, the latter of which supports Drupal 9.3 or newer, and Drupal 10
Maintainership
- Seeking co-maintainers
- Security Coverage
  - Opted in, but no coverage in practice for Drupal 9 or 10
- Test coverage
- Number of open issues: 131 open issues, 50 of which are bugs against the current branch
Usage stats:
- 34,609 sites almost 35,000 sites
Module features and usage
- This module allows you to customize file names and paths by leveraging a variety of entity-based tokens
- It also integrates with the Pathauto module, giving you options to clean up the tokens for example by removing slashes, filtering out words or punctuation, and so on
- It can also work with the Transliteration module to convert unicode characters into US-ASCII
- Filefield Paths has options to rename and move existing files, and can retroactively rename files, effectively bulk updating and moving all your existing files
- It can also work with the Redirect module to automatically create redirects from the old path and filename to the new location, when renaming
- I’d also like to give a tip of the cap to Jim Birch of Kanopi for suggesting this module, when I was talking to a customer who was looking to achieve pretty much exactly what this module does
