[Solved] ImageBrowser supported file types

[Stefan]

Hello, 

Is there a possibility to extend the list of file types which can be uploaded with the ImageBrowser ? At the moment it seems that only png, gif, jpg and jpeg can be uploaded.

thanks

Hello again,

Is there any solution to this ? As a requirement from the client I have to support more file types, so I would really appreciate any help.

thanks

Hello Stefan,

You can use the .Filter() method for this purpose - set the allowed file types as a string in it:

.FileBrowser(t => t.Browse("Browse", "ImageBrowser")
            .Filter("*.png,*.gif,*.jpg,*.jpeg,*.jpe")
               .Thumbnail("Thumbnail", "ImageBrowser")
               .Upload("Upload", "ImageBrowser")
               .DeleteFile("DeleteFile", "ImageBrowser")
               .DeleteDirectory("DeleteDirectory", "ImageBrowser")
               .CreateDirectory("CreateDirectory", "ImageBrowser"))
        .Render();

Hello,

Now no error message regarding the file formats is displayed, but now the Upload Method, which I have overwritten, is not called. Although it works with the image formats.

Thanks

Hello again Stefan,

 In such case I would like to ask you to send a sample project that shows your implementation so we can check it.

Hello Georgi,

I am sending you the test project. To reproduce the problem please uncomment the .Filter .... method in the Index.aspx File. In our project we use the imagebrowser together with the editor or as well stand alone. We have several customers and they have tenants. So the imagebrowser provides the necessary interfaces for Authorizing the operations. As well we have to upload videos. There of course we have to use the imagebrowser stand alone. As written in the previous comment when I permit other formats( i tested that with a wmv file ) the Upload method is never called. So how could I change that behaviour ?

thank you

Hi Stefan,

One of the reasons not to reach the Upload controller is probably because you did not configure your application to accept larger files which are posted.
i.e.

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="32768" />//32MB
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Also make sure you override the authorization methods as mentioned in our documentation.


All the best,

Hi Petur,

Yes, this was solving the problem.

Thanks
