I am using RadFileExplorer which looks good. But users also want to copy the path of the uploaded file. Is there any easy way? For example, right click and Copy Path.

Hello,

I am not sure that I understand what exactly do you mean with "users also want to copy the path of the uploaded file":
  • if you want the user to be able to copy the server path to the currently uploaded file - this functionality is not available out-of-the box but you can achieve it by adding a custom command in the Grid context menu, where to implement the desired functionality. More information is available here: Adding a custom button to the toolbar and an item to the tree context menu
    For example, you could do it in a similar way:
    ASPX
    <
    telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="RadFileExplorer1" runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad">
        <Configuration ViewPaths="~/Images" UploadPaths="~/" DeletePaths="~/Images" />
    </telerik:RadFileExplorer>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function OnClientLoad(explorer, args) {
            explorer.get_gridContextMenu().add_itemClicked(gridContextMenuClicked);
        }
        function gridContextMenuClicked(sender, args) {
            var buttonValue = args.get_item().get_value();
            if (buttonValue == "copyPath") {
                var path = $find("RadFileExplorer1").get_selectedItem().get_path();
                window.alert(path);
            }
        }
    </script>
    C#
    protected
    void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            RadMenuItem customMenuOption = new RadMenuItem("Copy Path");
            customMenuOption.Value = "copyPath";
            RadFileExplorer1.GridContextMenu.Items.Add(customMenuOption);
        }
    }
  • if you want to access the original path to the uploaded file (from the user's PC) - I am afraid that cannot be achieved. More detailed information on the subject is available here.

I hope you will find this information helpful. Feel free to contact us if we could be of any further assistance.
