[Solved] Change name of uploaded image

[Alex]

Hello,

Is there a way to change the name of an uploaded image?  For example the image uploaded maybe named "figure 1.jpg" and I would like to change it to "figure-1.jpg".

Thank You,
Alex

Hello Alex,

For the time being you need to implement your custom provider and override the StoreFile method. In this method you could change the uploaded file names. in your case I recommend you to use the following code :

namespace CustomProvider
{
    public class CustomFileSystemContentProvider : FileSystemContentProvider
    {
        public CustomFileSystemContentProvider(HttpContexts context, string[] searchPatterns, string[] viewPaths, string[] uploadPaths, string[] deletePaths, string selectedUrl, string selectedItemTag)
            : base(context, searchPatterns, viewPaths, uploadPaths, deletePaths, selectedUrl, selectedItemTag)
        {
            ProcessPaths(ViewPaths);
            ProcessPaths(UploadPaths);
            ProcessPaths(DeletePaths);
            SelectedUrl = RemoveProtocolNameAndServerName(GetAbsolutePath(SelectedUrl));
        }
        // Override the store file function ;
        public override string StoreFile(UploadedFile file, string path, string name, params string[] arguments)
        {
            string newFileName = DateTime.Now.Second.ToString() + name;// New name ;
            string targetFullPath = Path.Combine(path, newFileName);
            file.SaveAs(Context.Server.MapPath(targetFullPath), true);
            return targetFullPath;
        }
    }
}

 
The highlighted code produce a new name of the uploaded file. Then you need to use this provider in the RadFileEcplorer's configuration :

RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.ContentProviderTypeName = typeof(CustomProvider.CustomFileSystemContentProvider).AssemblyQualifiedName;

In the next releases we plan to allow renaming of the file in the OnItemCommand server event of the FileExplorer control.

I hope this helps.
