 * Hi everybody,
    I want the users to insert a “magic” word in the file name. If
   they don’t do this, the file can’t be uploaded. What function I have to custom?

 * I solved the problem by changing the function “buddydrive_save_new_buddyfile()”
   in buddydrive-item-ajax.php

 * You shouldn’t edit a plugin’s file. Next upgrade will remove your customization.
 * I’ll look at a way to allow you do this from a bp-custom.php file for example.

 * Hi this will be possible in next version (1.2.2)
 * You’ll then need to use this code :
 *     ```
       function rampaaa_custom_errors( $upload_error_messages = array() ) {
       	return array(
       		20 => __( 'Your file need to contain the word "magic"' ),
       	);
       }
       add_filter( 'buddydrive_get_upload_error_strings', 'rampaaa_custom_errors', 10, 1 );
   
       function rampaaa_check_filename( $file = array() ) {
       	if ( ! empty( $file['name'] ) && false === strpos( $file['name'], 'magic' ) ) {
       		$file['error'] = 20;
       	}
   
       	return $file;
       }
       add_filter( 'buddydrive_upload_errors', 'rampaaa_check_filename', 10, 1 );
       ```
   
 * I should release 1.2.2 in a couple of days.
