FileExplorer CreateNewDirectory problem

[Vladimir]

Hi all.

I am having some issues with CreateNewDirectory. I wanted to create a Web Gallery using FileExplorer based on your demo. Because of using possible big files (4,5 MB and maybe more) I created a thumb directory and when uploading images I resize as well and them upload (resized and original) into 2 different directories (Images and ImagesThumb). In FileExplorer I show only the thumb directory. The DeletePath is defined to both Images and ImagesThumb directory. The images load OK and the memory usage is good. Deleting 2 directories at once or 2 files at once works great. But i have difficulties to create 2 directories.

The ASPX:

<telerik:RadFileExplorer runat="server" ID="RadFileExplorer1" Width="1000px" Height="690px"
                Skin="Black" EnableOpenFile="True" OnClientFolderChange="OnClientFolderChange"
                OnClientCreateNewFolder="onCreateNewDir"  OnClientLoad="OnFileExplorerLoad">
 </telerik:RadFileExplorer>

 
CS:

string[] paths = new string[] { "~/ImagesThumb/", "~/Images/" };
RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.ViewPaths = new string[] { "~/ImagesThumb/" };
RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.UploadPaths = paths;
RadFileExplorer1.Configuration.DeletePaths = paths;

I have created the OnClientCreateNewFolder:

function onCreateNewDir(sender, eventArgs) {

    var oExplorer = getRadFileExplorer1();

    var dirPath = oExplorer.get_currentDirectory().replace('ImagesThumb', 'Images');

    oExplorer.remove_createNewFolder(onCreateNewDir);

    oExplorer.createNewDirectory(dirPath,eventAgs.get_newPath());

    oExplorer.add_createNewFolder(onCreateNewDir);

}


With no luck at all, in ImagesThumb it creates desired folder but in Images not. Then I tried create a second 
FileExplorer to handle the Image folder for me like this:

<telerik:RadFileExplorer runat="server" ID="RadFileExplorer2"Skin="Black" style="display:none">
<Configutation DeletePaths="~/Images" UploadPaths="~/Images" />
            </telerik:RadFileExplorer>

OnCreate event:

function onCreateNewDir(sender, eventArgs) {
    var oExplorer = getRadFileExplorer1();
    var dirPath = oExplorer.get_currentDirectory().replace('ImagesThumb', 'Images');
    getRadFileExplorer2().createNewDirectory(dirPath,eventAgs.get_newPath());
}

Doesnt work either until the createNewDirectory has only 1 parameter and propmts a popup window to provide a name
but that is not desired. I dont want to use ActiveX object to create a directory.

Am I doing something wrong?? Is there a better way to achieve what I need???

Thx

Hi Vitalij,

To achieve the required functionality I would recommend you to implement a custom content provider to RadFileExplorer and override StoreFile(), StoreBitmap(), DeleteFile(), CreateDirectory(), DeleteDirectory() methods in order to handle both directories simultaneously.

More information on how to implement custom content provider to RadFileExplorer is available in the following help article:
Using custom FileBrowserContentProvider
