RadEditor.ImageManager not inserting image on clicking Insert - telerik

Question

I have a radEditor control with the ImageManager enabled. this feature worked fine within our last version we had (2011 version) but now with the version we have, the image manager does not insert the image selected. Below is my radEditor html tag:
<telerik:RadEditor ID="txtRTE"
SpellCheckSettings-AllowAddCustom="false"
ToolsFile="~/SimpleRTEEditorTools.xml"
OnClientLoad="HandleRTEClientLoad"
ExternalDialogsPath="~/RadControls/EditorDialogs/"
runat="server"
Height="200"
Skin="Default"
EditModes="Design"
AllowScripts="false"
StripFormattingOptions="All">
<ImageManager ViewPaths=".." UploadPaths=".." SearchPatterns="*.jpg,*.gif,*.png" EnableImageEditor="False" ViewMode="Grid" />
I am editing the ViewPaths and uploadPaths within the code behind's page_load method:
txtRTE.ImageManager.ViewPaths = paths;
txtRTE.ImageManager.UploadPaths = paths;
txtRTE.ImageManager.ContentProviderTypeName = typeof(FolderContentProvider).AssemblyQualifiedName;
We implemented our own content provider as seen below:
public class FolderContentProvider : FileBrowserContentProvider
{
private string ROOT_DIRECTORY_FULL_PATH =
//Path to record documents folder
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[Constants.RECORD_DOC_ROOT_FOLDER_APP_KEY].ToString() +
//folder containing images
Constants.Record_DOC_FORM_TEXT_IMAGE_FOLDER + "\\" +
//to get Record ID
((MyAppPrincipal)System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal).Record.ID;
public string RootDirectory
{
get
{
return ROOT_DIRECTORY_FULL_PATH;
}
private set
{
}
}
private PathPermissions fullPermissions = PathPermissions.Read | PathPermissions.Upload;
private DirectoryItem[] GetSubDirectories(string path)
{
//we have only one directory no sub directories
//no need to go to file system to find that out
return new DirectoryItem[0];
}
private string GetDirectoryFullPath(string path)
{
return RootDirectory;
}
private FileItem[] GetFiles(string path)
{
string[] filesFullName = Directory.GetFiles(RootDirectory);
ArrayList files = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < filesFullName.Length; i++)
{
string fullPath = filesFullName[i];
System.IO.FileInfo currentFile = new System.IO.FileInfo(fullPath);
if (IsAlowedFileExtension(currentFile.Extension))
{
string url = string.Format("{0}?path={1}", HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + "/app/FormTextImageHandler.ashx", currentFile.Name);
files.Add(new FileItem(
currentFile.Name, //file name
currentFile.Extension, //extension
currentFile.Length, //size
string.Empty,//currentFile.FullName, //location
url, //url
string.Empty,//tag
fullPermissions//permissions
));
}
}
return (FileItem[])files.ToArray(typeof(FileItem));
}
private bool IsAlowedFileExtension(string Extension)
{
if (Extension.Equals(".gif", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
return true;
if (Extension.Equals(".jpg", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
return true;
if (Extension.Equals(".png", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
return true;
return false;
}
public FolderContentProvider(HttpContext context, string[] searchPatterns, string[] viewPaths, string[] uploadPaths, string[] deletePaths, string selectedUrl, string selectedItemTag)
: base(context, searchPatterns, viewPaths, uploadPaths, deletePaths, selectedUrl, selectedItemTag)
{
}
public override string DeleteFile(string path)
{
//we do not allow removing files
return null;
}
public override string DeleteDirectory(string path)
{
//we don't have any sub directories
//and moreover we don't give delete rights
return null;
}
public override string StoreFile(Telerik.Web.UI.UploadedFile file, string path, string name, params string[] arguments)
{
int fileLength = (int)file.InputStream.Length;
byte[] content = new byte[fileLength];
file.InputStream.Read(content, 0, fileLength);
string fullPath = RootDirectory +"\\"+ name;
FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(fullPath, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
fileStream.Write(content, 0, content.Length);
fileStream.Flush();
fileStream.Close();
return string.Empty;
}
public override DirectoryItem ResolveDirectory(string path)
{
DirectoryItem[] directories = new DirectoryItem[0];
FileItem[] files = this.GetFiles(RootDirectory);
DirectoryItem dir = new DirectoryItem("Images", string.Empty, RootDirectory, string.Empty, fullPermissions, files, directories);
return dir;
}
public override DirectoryItem ResolveRootDirectoryAsTree(string path)
{
//we don't have any subdirectories - everythinng is in the same folder
DirectoryItem[] directories = new DirectoryItem[0];
FileItem[] files = this.GetFiles(RootDirectory);
DirectoryItem root = new DirectoryItem("Images", string.Empty, "Images\\", string.Empty, fullPermissions, files, directories);
return root;
}
public override bool CanCreateDirectory
{
get
{
return false;
}
}
public override string CreateDirectory(string path, string name)
{
return null;
}
public override string StoreBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, string url, ImageFormat format)
{
return null;
}
public override Stream GetFile(string url)
{
return null;
}
public override string GetPath(string url)
{
return RootDirectory;
}
public override string GetFileName(string url)
{
return null;
}
[Obsolete]
public override DirectoryItem[] ResolveRootDirectoryAsList(string path)
{
return null;
}
public override bool CheckWritePermissions(string folderPath) {
return true;
}
}
Any idea's why the old version was able to insert into the field, but the new version is not?

Answer 1

The FileBrowserProvider API could be changed between the old and new versions. That why my suggestion is to examine the code of the following demo http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/dbfilebrowsercontentprovider/defaultcs.aspx that works as expected and compare it with the code of your custom solution.
If you have any customized dialogs you may need to copy the EditorDialogs folder from the new installation that you are using and customize them from scratch.
