Hide ViewPath

[Jane]

Is there any way to not display the ViewPath location to the user but still allow them to upload?  I tried to not define the property, but that also disabled the Upload button.

Hello Jane,

I am not sure whether I understand the exact issue correctly. The product in the ticket is marked as ImageEditor, but I assume you might be using the Editor's ImageManager or FileExplorer. Am I correct or are you using an ImageEditor integrated with an AsyncUpload control (refer this demo)?

It would be really helpful if you provide a screenshot explaining the exact element you would like to hide so I could help you further.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Sorry, you are correct I am talking about the image manager.  I would not like the users to see the other files that have already been uploaded, I'd like either a blank screen or the users computer.  However, I still need the users to be able to upload files.  See attached file.

Hi Jane,

I am afraid that FileExplorer (the control used for listing files and folders in the Editor's ImageManager) cannot function without having configured ViewPaths. What you can do is to create a separate folder for each user, so he would be able to see only the files he has uploaded. For example:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string userId = "1234"; //your logic for accessing the ID of the current user here
    string[] viewpaths = new string[] { String.Format("~/ROOT/{0}", userId)};
    RadEditor1.ImageManager.ViewPaths = viewpaths;
    RadEditor1.ImageManager.UploadPaths = viewpaths;
    RadEditor1.ImageManager.DeletePaths = viewpaths;
}

Furthermore, you can hide the FileExplorer's AddressBox so the user will not see the path to the configured by you root folder. In order to do it, you will need to enable the external dialogs of the Editor and modify the FileExplorer's configuration in the FileBrowser.ascx file in a similar way:

<div class="redFEWrapper">
    <telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="RadFileExplorer1" Height="400px" Width="400px" TreePaneWidth="150px" runat="Server" EnableOpenFile="false" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="100"
        VisibleControls="ContextMenus,FileList,Grid,ListView,Toolbar,TreeView">
    </telerik:RadFileExplorer>
</div>

Hope this helps.
