[Solved] Server-side Upload Method on Editor File Manager?

[Ryan C]

I want to know if there is away to do some validation before the user uploads the files, in an Editor. Reason is I want to limit the uploading to a particular IP.

                    <telerik:RadEditor ID="txtContent" runat="server" Width="100%">
                        <ImageManager ViewPaths="~/Files" UploadPaths="~/Files" DeletePaths="~/Files"  />
                        <MediaManager ViewPaths="~/Files" UploadPaths="~/Files" DeletePaths="~/Files" />
                        <FlashManager ViewPaths="~/Files" UploadPaths="~/Files" DeletePaths="~/Files" />
                        <TemplateManager ViewPaths="~/Files" UploadPaths="~/Files" DeletePaths="~/Files" />
                        <DocumentManager ViewPaths="~/Files" UploadPaths="~/Files" DeletePaths="~/Files" />
                    </telerik:RadEditor>

Hi Ryan C,

You can do this check in the ItemCommand event of the RadFileExplorer control which is used in the editor's dialogs. For your convenience I have attached a demo to this thread.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion but I could not understand exactly how to imply the provided code to my project. However with further research I found out I can use the OnFileUpload event. However I get the followign error: No overload for 'txtContent_FileUpload' matches delegate 'Telerik.Web.UI.EditorDialogEventHandler' public bool txtContent_FileUpload(object sender, string fileName, EditorFileTypes type)

{

bool continueUpload = false;

string userAddress = Context.Request.UserHostAddress;

if (userAddress != "127.0.0.1")

{// do nothing

continueUpload = false;// cancel upload

}

else  {

continueUpload = true;

}

return continueUpload;

}

Hello Ryan,

This error is expected because the FileUpload's handler does not accepts 3 parameters. In your case this event should looks like this :

public bool txtContent_FileUpload(object sender, string fileName)

{

    string userAddress = Context.Request.UserHostAddress;

    if (userAddress != "127.0.0.1")

    {// do nothing

        if (!this.Page.ClientScript.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("RestrictedIP"))

        {

            this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "RestrictedIP", "alert('Your IP:" + userAddress + " is restricted');", true);

        }


        return false;// Cancel upload

    }

    // else

    return true;

}

I hope this helps.

Sincerely yours,

Thanks that worked. However I did not get any alert box when the upload is restricted. Do I have to add anything to the client side?

Hello Ryan,

I am not quite sure what is causing the problem in your case. Could you please open a new support ticket and send me a project that reproduces the problem? As an alternative you could paste your code (both aspx and C#) to the forum. Once I have a better view over your code I will do my best to help.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.
