File Manager - Hide Folders

    Hi there,

    When I deploy my site and hand over admin to the client they'll be doing all admin work/content managment etc. This will most likely include uploading files using the file manager. They need (or have requested) full admin access so they are in the default administrator role which has access to the file manager. However, since they are far from being technical or developer types I am concerned that they may "explore" and possibly edit/upload/delete things in the Sitefinity folder for example. Is there an easy way to have this folder "filtered" or "hidden" from the tree view so that the file manager can't access it? In the case that something needs to be uploaded there it will most likely be done by me and using ftp so it's ok if this is a hard coded fix and not something based on roles (although that would be nice).

    Thanks in advance,
    Phill

    Hi Phill Hodgkinson,

    Below is a sample code that illustrates how to hide "Sitefinity" folder from the RadTreeView in Files section of Sitefinity's backend. The following logic is used for RadGrid control.

    protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e) 
        { 
            base.OnPreRender(e); 
            if (fileManager.Mode == FileManagerMode.Upload) 
                mainPanel.Attributes.Add("class", "wrapperUpload"); 
            else 
                mainPanel.Attributes.Add("class", "wrapperBrowser"); 
                var treeView = FindControlRecursive(foldersNavigation, "foldersTree") as RadTreeView; 
                var radGrid = FindControlRecursive(fileManager, "fileGrid") as RadGrid; 
            if (UserManager.IsCurrentUserInRole("test")) 
            { 
                RadTreeNode node = null; 
                foreach (var tnode in treeView.GetAllNodes()) 
                { 
                    if (tnode.Text == "Sitefinity") 
                    { 
                        node = tnode; 
                        tnode.Visible = false; 
                        radGrid.ItemDataBound += new GridItemEventHandler(radGrid_ItemDataBound); 
                    } 
                    else 
                    { 
                        tnode.Visible = true; 
                    }

                    node.Visible = true; 
                } 
            } 
     
     
        } 
        void radGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

                    } 
                }

    Thanks Ivan,

    This is just what I was looking for. As soon as the bug with renaming files is fixed I'll be able to use it ;) For now I've gone with a hack of hiding the tree and filemanager and used the Telerik FileExplorer control instead. 

    Thanks again!

    Does the sample code that Ivan posted work? Or is there still a bug and should go with the way Phill did it?  And is there any information on that way?

    I have a client that will need to upload hundres'd of PDF's and it would be easiest for them to use the File Manager under the Files tab but of course don't want them accessing/seeing the other files/folders.

    Thank you.

    Hello Laura,

    The sample code posted by me works without problems.The problem that Phill is talking about is a completely different thing  and it is related to the file/folders renaming. So the short answer:

    -Implementing some restrictions to the RadGrid and TreeView will work without problems.
    - The bug related to the renaming of file/folders persist and it will not be sorted for the 3.x versions before we relates Sitefinity 4.0.

    It would be nice though if we could diplay folders based on roles.  Admin seeing all of course.

    Hello Laura,

    You can add

    if (!UserManager.IsCurrentUserInRole("administrators"))
      {
          // then hide the items
      }
      else
      {
          // do not hide anything
      }

    Ivan,
    I have the Files displaying correctly using the code you provided. However, when clicking on a folder, I lose the childern in the tree.  Or If I click on PDFS in the tree I lose the folders in the gridview.
    The folder I want to diplay is from the root ~/PDFs  and its children (ex. ~/PDFs/Secure/...  and ~PDFs/Public/...)
    I know I am missing something simple here. My logic may be faulty as I am saying if you are NOT in role administrators and the node text is NOT PDFs ....
    Here is my code from Files.aspx.cs --Thank you.

    Hello Laura,

    You are explicitly hiding all nodes except PDFs

    if (tnode.Text != "PDFs")
    {
      // here you are hiding all other nodes from the RadTreeView control
    }

    You can make as exception as show below

    if (tnode.Text != "PDFs" && tnode.Level == 1)
    {
      // hide all other nodes
    }

    By doing so if the node text is different from PDFs and node level is "1" we hide the nodes. Since all nodes in PDFs are not level one, directories/files will be visible.

    ProjectName
    |_PDFs
          |_ dir1.

    Thanks Ivan, that works great.  Now however, I don't see the contents of the folder if clicked on the tree. I can view the folders and files if I navigate through the grid however, but not if clicking on the tree. Maybe I have the binding incorrect?

    Hello Laura,

    The RadTreeView control shows only the files structure. This is the default behavior of the FilesTreeView control.

    Honeslty, that doesn't make sense.  As seen in the attached file, by default, if I click on a folder in the tree structure it displays the content of the folder in the grid. Somehwere by hiding folders by name and by role, they lost their connnection between the two areas.
    Thank you,

    can this be implemented for custom controls that call the Filemanager?

    Hi Tristan,

    You should wrap the Telerik.FileManager.ManageFiles in a custom or user control as it is done in

    Sitefinity/WorkProject3x/Sitefinity/Admin/Files.aspx

    Sorry, but could you give me an example of what you mean.

    I've got a user control with a property that allows the user to select an item from the FileManager when they click the Select button. I just want to be able to restrict the folders the user can see.

    Is this method the best way to combat this or is there a better way buy simply denying permissions to those folders?

    When I try to use your code to Hide some folders from the user , I get a compilation Error

    Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'UserManager' does not exist in the current context

    Source Error:

     
    Line 59:         var treeView = FindControlRecursive(foldersNavigation, "foldersTree") as RadTreeView;
Line 60:         var radGrid = FindControlRecursive(fileManager, "fileGrid") as RadGrid;
Line 61: if ( ! (UserManager.IsCurrentUserInRole("administrator")))Line 62:         {
Line 63:             RadTreeNode node = null;

    Can you please let me know, what I am missing.

    I have the following namespaces included

    using

    Telerik.Web.UI;

     

    using

    Telerik.FileManager;

     

    using

    Telerik.Cms.Web.UI;

     

    using

    Telerik.Cms.Web;

     

    using

    Telerik.Cms;

     

    using

    Telerik.Cms.Security;

     



    Thanks
    Satya

    Hello Satya Vepa,

    Try UserManager.DefaultProvider.IsCurrentUserInRole(role name) or create an instance of UserManager.

    Hello bilal,

    You have to subscribe for OnPreRender of the RadGrid control and access the Name of the data item. Then hide the item if your requirements are met.

    sample

    void radGrid_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
        var grid = (Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid)(sender);
     
        foreach (var itm in grid.Items)
        {
            if (itm is GridDataItem)
            {
                GridDataItem dataItem = itm as GridDataItem;
                if (dataItem["Name"].Text.Equals("Web.config"))
                {
                    dataItem.Visible = false;
                }
            }
     
        }
     }


    Best wishes,

    Hey,

    I have pretty much used the code given above, and it nearly works, the only thing is it hides the items in the tree on the left, but the folders and files still remain in the main panel as shown by the screenshot attachment. Is there a way of removing the project name node (boxed in red), so that the first node is the Files node?

    Thanks

    Hello Louis Farrell,

    The last post from Telerik -  7/5/2010 shows how to hide items in the RadGrid. Most probably you are using some other code that does not reflect the explanation in this post.
