FileExplorer doesn't show files in the root folder

[Michael]

Hi all!

I cannot make FileExplorer to show files and folders in the root folder. Everything is OK for child folders.

I have custom FileBrowserContentProvider:
     

public override DirectoryItem ResolveRootDirectoryAsTree(string path)
{
  Assert.ArgumentNotNull(path, "path");
     if (path.Length == 0)
     {
        path = "/media library/";
     }
  Item item = GetItem(path);
     if (item == null)
     {
    return null;
  }
  PathPermissions permissions = GetPermissions(item);
  DirectoryItem result = new DirectoryItem(item.DisplayName, GetParentPath(item), string.Empty, string.Empty, permissions, GetChildFiles(item), GetChildDirectories(item));
  return result;
}

static DirectoryItem[] GetChildDirectories(Item item)

  {

  Assert.ArgumentNotNull(item, "item");

   List<DirectoryItem> result = new List<DirectoryItem>();

      foreach (Item child in item.Children)

     {

        if (child.TemplateID != TemplateIDs.MediaFolder)

        {

      continue;

    }

 

    PathPermissions permissions = GetPermissions(child);

     DirectoryItem directoryItem = new DirectoryItem(child.Name, string.Empty, child.Paths.Path, string.Empty, permissions, null, null);

     result.Add(directoryItem);

  }

   return result.ToArray();

}

public override DirectoryItem ResolveDirectory(string path)
{
  Assert.ArgumentNotNull(path, "path");
  Item item = GetItem(path);
  if (item == null)
  {
    return null;
  }
  return new DirectoryItem(item.DisplayName, string.Empty, item.Paths.Path, string.Empty, permissions, GetChildFiles(item), null);
}

static FileItem[] GetChildFiles(Item item)
{
  Assert.ArgumentNotNull(item, "item");
  List<FileItem> result = new List<FileItem>();
  foreach (Item child in item.Children)
  {
    if (child.TemplateID == TemplateIDs.MediaFolder)
    {
      continue;
    }
    PathPermissions permissions = GetPermissions(child);
    MediaItem mediaItem = child;
    MediaUrlOptions options = new MediaUrlOptions();
    options.UseItemPath = false;
    string url = MediaManager.GetMediaUrl(child, options);
    FileItem directoryItem = new FileItem(child.Name + "." + mediaItem.Extension, mediaItem.Extension, mediaItem.Size, string.Empty, url, string.Empty, permissions);
    result.Add(directoryItem);
  }
  return result.ToArray();
}

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Michael,

Could you please make sure that the 'result' returned by the ResolveRootDirectoryAsTree and ResolveDirectory methods contains the corresponding folders/files? Also, if you use a verso 2010.2.826 and later, then I recommend you to override the CheckReadPermissions method as well in order to make sure that the custom provider will work properly with the RadFileExplorer control.
