Upload warnings are javascript alerts

[Peter]

Can the upload warnings be configured to display as a radwindow?   

The FileExplorer has a windowmanager, why shouldn't any warnings be displayed as javascript alerts.  (ie: File Exists, File Size/Extension)

Hi Peter,

Indeed we are using standard browser alerts for displaying error messages in FileExplorer, but switching to RadAlerts now will be a breaking change for the control. Nevertheless, if you prefer to use RadAlerts for file validation in your application, you can do it by adding the following overrides to the end of the page containing FileExplorer:

<script>
    Telerik.Web.UI.RadFileExplorer.prototype._onAsyncUploadValidationFailed = function (sender, args) {
        var manager = this.get_windowManager();
        if (manager)
        {
        var loc = this.get_localization();
        manager.radalert(args.get_fileName() + "<br/><br/>" + loc["InvalidFileSize"] + "<br/>" + loc["InvalidFileExtension"], 400, 150);
        }
    }

    Telerik.Web.UI.RadFileExplorer.prototype._onWindowClose = function(oWnd, args)
    {
        if (!oWnd._isPredefined && args.get_argument() != "SenderIsBtnUpload" && this.get_asyncUpload() != null)
        {
            this.get_asyncUpload().deleteAllFileInputs();
        }

        var self = this;
        window.setTimeout(function()
        {
            if(self._lastFocusedElement)
                self._focus(self._lastFocusedElement);
        },0);
    }
</script>

Unfortunately, these are the only alerts that can be manipulated in this way, thus the others are directly called from a private methods on the Server.

Kind regards,

Thank you for the information.   But the lack of using WindowManager for all messages generated by the asyncuploader will limit are replacement of radupload in another application.

Please consider adding an option "ShowWarningsAsAlerts", default to true.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I have added it as a feature request into our feedback portal, so you can track its progress and vote for it here: Add a ShowWarningsAsAlerts property to RadFileExplorer. If many people vote on it our developers will consider the implementation of such a feature.

As a small token of gratitude for your suggestion I have added 500 Telerik points to your account.
