Forge_Upload feature request w/ code

[ixmatus]

I needed to upload a file and rename it to a static filename, such as 'header_image.jpg'. I also needed that file to be overwritten with a newly uploaded and renamed file by the same name.

To give a file a static name, you can simply do this:

$form->upload('file', 'news_image.jpg')->rules('required|size[1000KB]|allow[jpg]');

the second argument of 'upload' (where you can set a boolean True, False, or Null) can also be set as the desired static image name. Hope this makes sense, if not, ask and I will try to clarify more.
