Hi looking to add a hook to my functions.php that can catch when an attachment/image is added to the system.

trying to get it to log the folder id of the attachment while its uploading.
ive tried add_attachment but it only comes back with -1

tried wp_attachment_folder and wp_rml_get_object_by_id but these only work when editing the file not when it first gets uploaded

basically I just want to pass which folder RML is storing the file in to the post that is being created into its meta. when i can get a valid folder id the rest should be fine with my code.

found it in the code. wondering if there is an easier method

$folderidrlm = isset($_REQUEST[‘rmlFolder’]) ? $_REQUEST[‘rmlFolder’] : null;

hope that helps other people I just used the add_attachment hook

another question. there’s cover image support for the folders how do you access it?

Hi @trevsweb !

Thanks for your message.

You can use something like this:
```
add_action('add_attachment', function($post_id) {
    $folderId = wp_attachment_folder($post_id);
    if (is_rml_folder($folderId)) {
        $coverImageId = get_media_folder_meta($folderId, 'coverImage', true);
    }
}, 11 /* This is important so your hook is executed after RML */);
```
