file extensions

[Jakub Wilk]

Hi,
how can I add *.chm extension to RadEditorProm Document Maganer so I was able to insert *.chm files using DocManager.

[Rumen]

Hi Jakub,

You should set the DocumentManager-SearchPatterns property to "*.chm". Here is an example;

<telerik:RadEditor id="RadEditor1"
    DocumentManager-ViewPaths="~/Docs"
    DocumentManager-UploadPaths="~/Docs"
    DocumentManager-SearchPatterns="*.chm,*.doc,*.pdf"
    runat="server">
</telerik:RadEditor>

I get the error as:
The extension of the uploaded file is not valid. Please, provide a valid file!

Hi Daniel,

I tried the provided solution and it worked properly with the Q1 SP2 release of Telerik.Web.UI.dll. You can see my test in the attached video. For your convenience I have attached my test project as well.

Do you still experience this problem?

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for providing your editor's declaration. I examined it and found that you have put spaces between the different file type values of the DocumentManager-SearchPatterns property

 DocumentManager-SearchPatterns="*.doc,*.txt, *.docx, *.xls, *.xlsx, *.pdf, *.zip">

which is causing the upload problem. The correct syntax for specifying the file types is by not putting space symbols, e.g.

 DocumentManager-SearchPatterns="*.doc,*.txt,*.docx,*.xls,*.xlsx,*.pdf,*.zip">

This change will fix the problem.

If you omit the *., it shows the right files so you can select one to upload, but when you try to actually upload, it says "The extension of the uploaded file is not valid. Please, provide a valid file!"  This is for the image manager, but Ill bet the document manager does the same.  I'm using CA 2008.

Here is an example.  As I said, it works for selecting, but fails for uploading.
 
DocumentManager-SearchPatterns="doc,txt,docx,xls,xlsx,pdf,zip">

Hi James,

The syntax that you are using "doc,txt,docx,xls,xlsx,pdf,zip" is not valid and for that reason the Document manager does not work as expected. To be able to upload the specified files in the DocumentManager-SearchPatterns property, you should also add the *. symbols to the beginning of the each file extension, e.g.

 DocumentManager-SearchPatterns="*.doc,*.txt,*.docx,*.xls,*.xlsx,*.pdf,*.zip"

Hi Rumen,

I found this issue and have same problem. To view files you dont add asterisk(star) but to actually upload you must have it.
To resolve this issue I added both. I am using FTP provide described here

 

 

 http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/fileexplorer/ftpcontentprovider.aspx

 

For example if I use this code so I can see PDF and  can upload PDF

 

 

RadEditor1.DocumentManager.SearchPatterns = new[] { "pdf", "*.pdf" };


Thanks,

Max

Hello Max,

In the current version of RadControls the search patterns works as expected and only with the syntax with the asterisk in front of the extension. Example: {"*.jpg", "*.pdf"}. 

The other syntax - without the asterisk will throw errors for all files that are being uploaded.

I am attaching a sample clip showing the behavior of the Document manager with both syntaxes.

Hi Lanko,

I have tested it and if you want that FTP provider to work properly you have to include both with and without asterisk.

Please test it to verify.

Also for all those who have this issue try this workaround.

Thanks,
Max.

Hi Max,

I am sorry for misunderstanding you about the issue with the FTP provider. I contacted a college who is informed about this behavior and he confirmed, that this is the way to use this custom provider.

I can assure you that this is not a bug in the RadEditor nor the RadFileExplorer, but a characteristic about using the third-party provider.

Do not hesitate to contact us about other concerns with our products.
