Removing WebApplication folder form image path

[idwaikat]

Hi all

I added FileExplorer to my web application, I am using "OnClientItemSelected" client event to get the selected file path as follows:

            var imgPath;

            function OnClientItemSelected(sender, args) {

            var imageSrc = args.get_path();
            imgPath = imageSrc;
           ...
           ...
           ...
        }

and I am using the value of imgPath to save the path in TextBox and later I save it in the database.

The issue is that the value is such like this

/MyWebsite/Images/Icons/01.png

assume that I am now running the web application on:

http://localhost/MyWebstie

and later I will run it on:  [http://myserver/Website] or [http://www.mysite.com], so the file name will not be valid because it originally saved with [/MyWebsite].. I need a way to get the file name without [/MyWebsite]

(Splitting the path and removing [/MyWebsite] from it is not accepted because I may run the server on [http://localhost] directly and then move it to [http://www.mysite.com/myApplication])

I know that I must determine the domain before but I don't know where the application will run...

Thank you

Hi idwaikat,

Handling paths is a general programming task which goes beyond the scope of Telerik support - as it is not directly related to RadFileExplorer. The task of the explorer is to return a correct path in the current programming context.

When you upload your app to an actual server and run it under http://www.mysite.com, then the path returned by the method will fit this context too - it will be something like Images/Icons/01.png.

My suggestion is to test your site in production environment, and then - in case there are any problems - to let us know.

Hi idwaikat,

We are currently working on the RadFileExplorer documentation and it will be ready for the service pack at the end of the month. For the time being you could use the debugger to see the available methods. As for the rest of the Telerik controls, there is a Programming / Client-side section of the documentation for every control where you could find the needed information.
