Disable Directory Deleting and Renaming

[DogBizPro]

How do I disable the rename and delete options for the context menu for the Image Manager window? I see the info about using external dialogs, but how do I set that up when the ImageManager is being called from within the Editor?

Hi,

There are two approaches that you can try and/or combine to achieve your scenario:

Approach 1) The permissions given to the Image Manager depend on the paths set to its ViewPaths, UploadPaths and DeletePaths properties.

For example, if you have the following folder structure:

      - Root
              - Folder1
              - Folder2

the configuration below will give all permissions to Folder1, view and delete permissions to Folder2 and only view permissions to the Root directory:

Copy Code

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1">
    <ImageManager ViewPaths="~/Root" DeletePaths="~/Root/Folder1, ~/Root/Folder2" UploadPaths="~/Root/Folder1"/>
</telerik:RadEditor>

Approach 2) If the above configuration is not enough, you can customize the FileBrowser dialog. You can read more about that here—http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/externaldialogspath/defaultcs.aspx.

Further, once getting the FileBrowser.ascx file you can use the FileExplorer's OnClientLoad and OnClientMove events to change the desired UI elements:

Copy Code

<script>

    function OnClientLoad(sender, args) {

        // Remove rename option from grid's context menu

        var gridRenameCmd = sender.get_gridContextMenu().findItemByText("Rename");

        gridRenameCmd.set_visible(false);

 

        // Remove rename option from tree's context menu

        var treeRenameCmd = sender.get_tree().get_contextMenus()[0].findItemByText("Rename");

        treeRenameCmd.set_visible(false);

 

        // The same can be done for the delete option

    }

             //disable drag and drop

    function OnClientMove(sender, args) {

        args.set_cancel(true);

    }

</script>

 

...

 

<telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="RadFileExplorer1" Height="450px" Width="400px" TreePaneWidth="150px"

    runat="Server" EnableOpenFile="false" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="100" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" OnClientMove="OnClientMove"/>

You can find attached an example that illustrates the suggestion above.
