Overwrite Image Checkbox with Custom FileBrowserContentProvider

[Doug Bellenger]

My team has written an application that takes advantage of the RadEditor and its built in ImageManager.  We decided that our means of persistence was going to be a relational database, and implemented our own FileBrowserContentProvider accordingly.  Everything works great, except we can't figure out how to pass the value of the "Overwrite if file exists?" checkbox into our FileBrowserContentProvider.  Our one thought was that it might be passed in the "arguments" parameter, but no such luck.  Please advise.

Hi Doug,

The StoreFile() method should always overwrite the existing files. When a file is uploaded, the dialog first checks if it exists by calling GetFile(). If the file exists and the Overwrite checkbox is not checked, the dialog displays error message, without calling StoreFile(). You cannot determine if the checkbox is checked in the content provider.

Is there a way to turn off or hide the "Overwrite if file exists?" option.  I do not want the user to be able to overwrite images, since this would, in a sense, be a way to delete/change an image already uploaded.  I have already disabled the image manager's ability to delete images.  Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,

Please, see the following forum thread on the subject: How to disable overwrite.
