Stand alone imagebrowser with local paths

[James Shelton Agar]

as for the post you'd solved the other day, local path  for fileexplorer, works pretty well, thanks

http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/file-explorer/use-local-path-instead.aspx

I am now trying to putup a feature for users to maintain images from my local path(not web root), as I can callout the imagemanager standalone as solved

http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/editor/using-the-image-and-document-managers-outside-radeditor.aspx

how can i access the filebrowser within imagemanager and change file provider to support local path?

thanks

Hi James,

The ImageManager object has a ContentProviderTypeName property which can be used to set the new content provider to it. For example you can set the provider to the image manager as shown bellow :

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    imageManager.ContentProviderTypeName = typeof(CustomProvider.CustomFileProvider).AssemblyQualifiedName;
}

You need to set this property in the Page_Load event at latest.

I hope this help.

Hi i have called up the imagemanager window like following

        Dim imageManagerParameters As New FileManagerDialogParameters()

        imageManagerParameters.ViewPaths = New String() {"~/Images/User"}

        imageManagerParameters.UploadPaths = New String() {"~/Images/User"}

        imageManagerParameters.DeletePaths = New String() {"~/Images/User"}

        imageManagerParameters.MaxUploadFileSize = 5000000

        ' If you don't set the following property, the default value will be used  

        ' imageManagerParameters.SearchPatterns = new string[] { "*.jpg" };  

        

        Dim imageManager As New DialogDefinition(GetType(ImageManagerDialog), imageManagerParameters)

        imageManager.ClientCallbackFunction = "ImageManagerFunction"

        imageManager.Width = Unit.Pixel(694)

        imageManager.Height = Unit.Pixel(440)

        'If you need to customize the dialog then register the external dialog files

        imageManager.Parameters("ExternalDialogsPath") = "~/EditorDialogs/"

        DialogOpener1.DialogDefinitions.Add("ImageManager", imageManager)

        Dim imageEditorParameters As New FileManagerDialogParameters()

        imageEditorParameters.ViewPaths = New String() {"~/Images/User"}

        imageEditorParameters.UploadPaths = New String() {"~/Images/User"}

        imageEditorParameters.DeletePaths = New String() {"~/Images/User"}

        imageEditorParameters.MaxUploadFileSize = 5000000

        Dim imageEditor As New DialogDefinition(GetType(ImageEditorDialog), imageEditorParameters)

        imageEditor.Width = Unit.Pixel(832)

        imageEditor.Height = Unit.Pixel(520)

        imageEditor.Parameters("ExternalDialogsPath") = "~/EditorDialogs/"

        DialogOpener1.DialogDefinitions.Add("ImageEditor", imageEditor)

However, i couldn't find ContentProviderTypeName property anywhere.

Hi James,

The ImageManager object has a FileBrowserContentProviderTypeName property which can be used to set the new content provider. For example:

imageManagerParameters.FileBrowserContentProviderTypeName = GetType(CustomProvider.CustomProvider).AssemblyQualifiedName

I hope this help.
