Changing the ImageBrowser path according to Route parameter (MVC Wrapper)

[Maurice Thompson]

Hi,
I would like to know how I could get the ImageBrowser to use a different root folder depending upon the currently selected route.
For example, the editor within the page url  ../details/4 should open the ImageBrowser at /Content/Category/4/Images whilst the page url ../details/7 should open the ImageBrowser at /Content/Category/7/Images

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated

Hello,

You could specify a function for the read operation url and return the URL with the current page ID:

transport: {
    read: {
        url: function () {
            return "/Content/Category/" + getCurrentLocationID() + "/Images"
        },
        type: "GET"
    },

or just get the ID before initializing the widget and use it for the read configuration.

Thanks for the response but how could I do this using the MVC Wrapper?
It looks like I can only specify a route for the Read operation

Hello again,

When using the wrappers it should be possible to achieve this by sending the ID as route value and using custom action methods that assign the id and call the corresponding base method:

.Read("MyRead", "ImageBrowser", new { id = id })

public class ImageBrowserController : EditorImageBrowserController
{
    private int id;

    public override string ContentPath
    {
        get
        {
            return "~/Content/Category/" + id + "/Images";
        }
    }

    public JsonResult MyRead(string path, int id)
    {
        this.id = id;
        return base.Read(path);
    }

Saving the value in the Session should be another option. Regards,
