RadEditor with ImageManager or DocumentManager

[Dayana Maliyakal]

Hi
    RadEditor

 

with ImageManager or DocumentManager can save image files or documents within the application only .Is there any
    method for saving the above files outside the appliation?

Hello Dayana,

What you can do is to implement a FileSystemContentProvider and save the uploaded file at the desired location by overriding the StoreFile method. The following KB article shows you how to rename the uploaded images: Giving the uploaded files unique names. You can use it as a base to proceed with your implementation.

Thanks for your reply.
     I can't save the file in desired location using the above sample application.My application is in C:\Test location.I want to save the files in C:\Documents and Settings\images.

Hello Dayana,

In your first post you asked for a method that will help you to store the uploaded file to the desired location. This method is named StoreFile and it is part of the FileSystemContentProvider class that you should implement yourself.

Another useful help resource is this article: Use RadFileExplorer with physical and shared folder's paths.

Hi
  Thanks for your reply.Instead of RadFileExplorer can we use RadEditor itself with ImageManager and DocumentManager with save files in location like C:\Documents and Settings\images if my application is in a different location like C:\Test?

Hi Dayana,

The Editor dialogs are based on the RadFileExplorer control, so you can use the FileBrowserContentProvider provided in this KB article with the dialogs as well. You need to follow the steps shown in this online demo in order to change the provider of the ImageManager dialog(the same is for other dialogs).

As an alternative, you could use the approach described in this KB article.

I hope this helps.

Hi All,

Right now i'm using the ImageManager with the RadEditor, but i'm having an issue with the imageManager to display the preview of the image, this is happening just with the images that contains special characters in the name like "%, &, $..", is there any solution for this ?

Thanks,

[Vazqusa]

I actually try using the method below to try catch the image that contains some special characters and rename the file with a new name, but the problem still there, any update on this ?

public override DirectoryItem ResolveDirectory(string path){
....
}
