I spent about an hour searching for a simple answer to this question - forgive me if i'm posting a repeat thread...

Is there any simple way to hide the first few folders in the address bar?

For example, say i have the following:
/Root/Files/Organization1/

Is there any way to have it simply display:
/Organization1/

One solution would be to map each organization folder to a virtual directory separately, but because of the fact that these are all dynamic, i don't see that as a reasonable solution.

It would appear that another course of action might be to create a mapping system like the PhysicalpathFilesystemProvider example.  But it seems like this is overkill for such a simple requirement. 

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks.

Hi Justavian,

There is not a simple way to do this, because the path shown in the RadFileExplorer's addressbar is used internally in the code of the control, so changing it may cause some unpredictable behavior. Indeed, the solution provided in this KB article is the solution in your case. You can set physical paths to the RadFileExplorer's Configuration properties (as shown in the example attached to the KB) and then specify your mapping in the .mapping file.


All the best,
