Setting viewpath for imagemanager in RadEditor

[Matt]

If possible, how can I set the viewpaths property for the imagemanager in the Radeditor dynamically? I need to set this based on something like a TempData variable. I tried ...

 RadEditor_HTMLSource.ImageManager.ViewPaths = (String[])TempData["mykey"];

But it's not set.

Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,

Here is the C# syntax:

string[] viewImages = new string[] { "~/Images" };
string[] uploadImages = new string[] { "~/Images/New" };
string[] deleteImages = new string[] { "~/Images/New/Articles", "~/Images/New/News" };

if (!IsPostBack)
{
   RadEditor1.ImageManager.ViewPaths = viewImages;
   RadEditor1.ImageManager.UploadPaths = uploadImages;
   RadEditor1.ImageManager.DeletePaths = deleteImages;
}

You should debug your code and see why the value is not applied properly. You should also make sure that such a folder exists and that it has a sufficient permissions.

Thanks but still not working. I can see the value being set for viewpaths but when I open the image manager the files are still not visible. I've confirmed that it works when I set the viewpaths in the mark up. The permissions are set correctly (Network Service has full control). 

If I keep the code that sets the viewpaths and then set the viewpaths attribute in the markup the value from the markup is used. So, it looks that anything I do in code is ignored.

I'm in a partial view but I tried it in a normal MVC page with the same problem.

<div>
<%
 RadEditor_HTMLSource.Content = (ViewData.Model.Mailing != null) ? ViewData.Model.Mailing.HTMLSource : "";
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
                         RadEditor_HTMLSource.ImageManager.ViewPaths = (String[])TempData["SchoolId"];
                         RadEditor_HTMLSource.ImageManager.UploadPaths = (String[])TempData["SchoolId"];
                         RadEditor_HTMLSource.ImageManager.DeletePaths = (String[])TempData["SchoolId"];
                     }
               %>
               <telerik:RadStyleSheetManager ID="RadStyleSheetManager1" runat="server">
               </telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>
               <telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor_HTMLSource" ExternalDialogsPath="~/Content/Controls/EditorDialogs/"
                   runat="server" ContentFilters="MakeUrlsAbsolute"  DialogHandlerUrl="~/Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.axd"
                   ToolsFile="~/Content/MailingTools.xml" Skin="Black">
                   <FlashManager MaxUploadFileSize="5242880" ViewPaths="~/Public" UploadPaths="~/Public" />
                   <MediaManager MaxUploadFileSize="5242880" ViewPaths="~/Public" UploadPaths="~/Public" />
                   <DocumentManager MaxUploadFileSize="5242880" ViewPaths="~/Public" UploadPaths="~/Public" />

                  </telerik:RadEditor>

           </div>

I've updated to the latest version of ASP.net ajax but still an issue. Any others ideas on what to try?

I tried to use an example project - 173294_mvcwithradeditor.zip - provided by Telerik on another post. This also doesn't work.

Hi Matt,

The <% %> server tags are executed when the page is rendered on the page, but the FileBrowser dialogs of RadEditor expect to be configured before the Page_Load event. Here is how to set the paths:

<script runat="server" type="text/C#">
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadEditor_HTMLSource.Content = "test";
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            RadEditor_HTMLSource.ImageManager.ViewPaths = new string[] { "~/" }; ;
            RadEditor_HTMLSource.ImageManager.UploadPaths = new string[] { "~/" };
            RadEditor_HTMLSource.ImageManager.DeletePaths = new string[] { "~/" };
        }
    }
</script>
<telerik:radstylesheetmanager id="RadStyleSheetManager1" runat="server">
</telerik:radstylesheetmanager>
<telerik:radeditor id="RadEditor_HTMLSource"
    runat="server" contentfilters="MakeUrlsAbsolute"
     skin="Black"
     DialogHandlerUrl="~/Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.axd"
     >
</telerik:radeditor>

Kind regards,
