Multiple file selection with uploading files wthin filemanagers

[Renzo Koning]

Hi,

Is there a  way to implement the multiple file selection for uploading files within the file manager dialogs (Image Manager, Document Manager, etc)?

With other words: Is it possible to use 'ctrl' to select multiple files for uploading in the filemanagers.

I've found the multiple file selection on: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/upload/examples/async/multiplefileselection/defaultcs.aspx

The filemanagers can be found on: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/filemanagers/defaultcs.aspx

Thanks

Hello Renzo,

Thank you for your feature request.

The Asynchronous upload is based on Flash and for the time being it is not possible to be integrated in the built-in dialogs of RadEditor. The browsers File Upload control used in RadEditor's dialogs allow to select only a single file in the File Upload dialog and this is browser limitation.

I logged your feature request in our PITS system and depending on the users' votes, we will consider its implementation. Here you can find the PITS Issue: Public URL. I also updated your Telerik points.


Kind regards,

Hello Rumen,

Thanks for your reply.

I understand the limitations of the browser and the need for flash.
I hope this feature will be implemented in the future.

I realy need this functionality at this moment though, so i wonder:

Is it possible to implement my own uload dialog via the 'ExternalDialogsPath' propertie (with the asynchronous upload control) ?
Or will i run into a vast amount of technical problems to be resoved, before it works well in combination with the rad editor?

Please advise.

Hi Renzo,

Yes, you will experience technical problems if you try to replace the current upload control with asynchronous upload control. It seems that the best option is to implement a custom upload dialog and add the asynchronous upload control in it.

Hi Rumen,

Ok, i understand.

I will implement a custom functionality to upload mutliple files, with the use of the asynchronous upload control.

Thanks for your response.

Is there a way to limit the file selection to only 1 file.

I know what your thinking - we give you more and now you only want one, but this was not my idea.

Anyway, can I do some manipulating in the /EditorDialogs/FileBrowser.ascx to achieve this?
