Also, I’m not sure why, but I had to remove from the initial code $count++.
If the $page has already 2 $images, the new uploaded file was numbered 4 (instead of 3), and then next 5 etc…
Not sure why it was counting one image more then the ones I had.
So now I have the following code
// Auto rename photos
kirby()->hook('panel.file.upload', function($file) {
$page = $file->page();
$title = $page->title();
$count = 0;
$old_filename = $file->filename();
try {
$count = $page->images()->count();
// $count++;
// Add 0 before $count so that it is two digits
$count = str_pad($count, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
$filename = $title . "-" . $count;
if (strpos($old_filename, 'box') !== false) {
$filename = $filename . "-box";
}
$file->rename($filename);
echo 'The file has been renamed';
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo 'The file has been renamed';
// optional reason: echo $e->getMessage();
}
});
