Is there a way to refrence $sid in _webform_submit_file of file.inc?

What you're trying to do is extremely difficult (as it sounds like you've found), and you can't do it with the additional validation or submission textareas, since the submission ID is not yet known at the time these code snippets are run. The only way you can do what you're attempting is to write a custom module which adds an additional #submit handler to the webform. Drupal will always upload files to their "final" location, meaning that when a user uploads a file it will immediately be saved in the files directory, but at that point you don't yet know what the SID is. In your custom module, you'd have to move the file from the first location to it's new location once the SID becomes available.

I'd say first off, modifying the module is a quick way to make sure you *don't* get help from the Webform issue queue. There are so many questions and support requests filed that I don't answer questions for users that have modified their installations of Webform.

Like I said in #1, you can do this without hacking the Webform module. Make a custom module such as "webform_rename.module", then have something like the following in that module:

/**
 * Implementation of hook_form_alter().
 */
function webform_rename_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id == 'webform_node_form') {
    $form['#submit'][] = 'webform_rename_files';
  }
}

/**
 * Additional submit handler for webform_node_form.
 */
function webform_rename_files(&$form, &$form_state) {
  $nid = $form_state['values']['nid'];
  $sid = $form_state['values']['sid'];

  // Call the rename function from your example in #2.
  webform_file_move_rename($nid, $sid);
}

Now all your custom changes are self-contained, and when the next version of Webform comes out you don't need to try to figure out what you've hacked and how to update it to the new version. Just delete the old version of Webform, replace it with the new version, and your custom changes keep on chugging along in a separate module.

I followed what quicksketch said in #3 and was able to access $form_state variable in my submit function. I would check your hook_form_alter for proper syntax and you also need to clear the cache for it to work (I think).

Hello quicksketch,

Your suggestion in #3 was good but if i only want to save $sid in my session variable than how can i do it ? as by altering form it might be not possible that i will receive $sid value in my session variable. I did try form_alter but it did nothing to get currently submitted $sid value in session.

Any suggestions ???

What i want to do is save this session value of webform_submission_id and enter in one table and after my webform successfully save vaules it will be redirected to ubercart for checkout and from there also i have to save ubercart_primary_key_id and save into table with webfrom_submission_id to make some reports. If you have any module like this also than you can let me know. i didnt find such type of module.

hope to receive soon reply.

Thank you.

Hello quicksketch,

As per your post in comment #3 here i made my module with name gluewebform. My main task is to save SID into database once webform is submitted. Here is my code

<?php 

/**
 * @file
 * Glue Webform Module File
 */

function gluewebform_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
if ($form_id == 'webform_node_form') {
    $form['#submit'][] = 'gluewebform_getsid';
  }
}

function gluewebform_getsid(&$form, &$form_state) {
  $sid = $form_state['values']['sid'];

	print $sid;die;
}

Now here also i am not able to get SID. According to me i am doing some mistake in $form['#submit'][]. Is it correct ? or we need other value there ?

Please do reply.

Thank you.

hello jdwfly,

since you got it to work can I ask what version of webform/drupal are you using?
also if its not too much of a problem can you please post a snippet of your code.
Just the necessary parts showing module setup and function call.
i've tried but i just can't get the sid value after the webform has been submitted...

tia,

I don't know which version it was because I have already switched to something else. It became too much of a hassle to add custom submit functions to my forms. I would suggest checking out Webform Associate and if you need Ubercart, check out Webform Productize. Personally I tried them out but they had other problems that just wouldn't make a complete solution for me. In the end I set up webform to put a product in their cart and passed attributes to it so that I knew which form submission it came from.

Hello jdwfly,

Thank you for your reply. Now before creating module i did check Webform Associate module and Webform Productize modules. Webform Associate module has bugs. it still gives error and they claim that it is solved but it is not. Also Webform Productize module need Webform Associate works properly. But it is also not working properly as per my need.

What i want is to save $sid value either in session or in database. If you have some idea than do let me know. i know its hard for you as you did it long time ago and now you switched to something else.

Thank you for your help.

OK thanks for the reply. We had looked at webform productize before but didn't do what we wanted. Of course then we knew less about drupal too. May be a good time to have another look.

Thanks again.

Just a note for future reference that Webform Associate is essentially built-into Webform 3.x if you're willing to try out a development version. Webform now simply "webform-enables" any content type, and makes the webform content type by default for easy installation for new users.

I'm closing this issue since it seems pretty well resolved. The submission guidelines for the Webform queue now state that help with custom coding is no longer provided.
