Is it possible...

Is it possible to allow users to upload an entire folder using the built-in document manager?  I have a case where a user is responsible for uploading new video tutorials, and those tutorials have many "chapters", so each set of videos are approximately 15 files each per folder.  Ideally I'd love to allow the user to just dump the folder, and not each file by file.  Is this possible?

Hello,

The requested functionality to directly select and upload a folder is not supported by the Upload control used by the FileBrowser dialogs of RadEditor. What you can do is to enable multiple files upload. Here are the steps:
1) register the external dialogs of RadEditor.
2) enable the RadAsyncUpload control (MultipleFileSelection="Automatic") in the managers by setting EnableAsyncUpload="true" in the RadFileExplorer declaration in the \EditorDialogs\FileBrowser.ascx.

Kind regards,

Hi Rumen:
Thanks for the quick reply.  I'm a little confused on how I'd actually do these things.  I'm using the RadEditor, and from what I've read it uses the RadUpload by default (which is the case). Will your suggestion replace the RadUpload inside the RadEditor, inside the Document Manager?  Or are you suggesting that I separate it out?

Thanks,
Terri-Lynn

Hello,

RadFileExplorer used in RadEditor's FileBrowser dialogs (Image, Document, Media, etc) has a property named EnableAsyncUpload. When this property is set to true it enables RadAsyncUpload, which offers multiple file selection.

For your convenience I have prepared and attached a sample working project.
