Customize a folder name in RadFileExplorer

[ABC]

I have specific folder names for each users, like, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. I need to make this My Documents. Is it possible to just change it's directory name?

Hi,

You could use a custom content provider and modify the ResolveRootDirectoryAsTree() method with the desired functionality to change the folder's name.

Please follow this server-side implementation as an example for the desired customization:

public class CustomContentProvider : FileSystemContentProvider
{

    public CustomContentProvider(HttpContext context, string[] searchPatterns, string[] viewPaths, string[] uploadPaths, string[] deletePaths, string selectedUrl, string selectedItemTag)
        : base(context, searchPatterns, viewPaths, uploadPaths, deletePaths, selectedUrl, selectedItemTag)
    {
    }

    public override DirectoryItem ResolveRootDirectoryAsTree(string path)
    {
        DirectoryItem orgDir = base.ResolveRootDirectoryAsTree(path);

        if (orgDir.Name.ToLower() == "customfolder")
            orgDir.Name = "ModifiedName";

        return orgDir;
    }

}

Regards,
