Select a file under the Portal root 

I want to be able to select a file from somewhere under the portals root directory and store the path in a textbox.

What's the easiest way to create a File Selector? I would like kind of like an file upload browse option but for the server, not the client.

Re: Select a file under the Portal root 

Creating a file selector that browses the root directory is a bit of a security issue.  That is why there is the file system "sandbox" in the Portals directory.  The reason is, that such a file selector would have full control over all of those files.  This also presents a usability problem for inexperienced users.  I am fairly certain that you are going to write this yourself.  If you stick to the main classes in the System.IO namespace, such a tool should be pretty simple to write.

Re: Select a file under the Portal root 

I'm talking about the portal root ie /Portals/0 directory and below, not the installation root directory.

Re: Select a file under the Portal root 

Ah!  I got it!  You can use the URL Control from the DNN Core like so:

<!-- IN THE TOP OF YOUR MODULE -->
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="URL" Src="~/controls/URLControl.ascx" %>
<!-- SOMEWHERE IN YOUR MODULE -->
<dnn:url id="ctlFileBrowser" runat="server" width="250"
    shownewwindow="False" 
    showusers="False" 
    ShowFiles="True" 
    Required="True" 
    ShowLog="False" 
    ShowTrack="False" 
    ShowUrls="False" 
    ShowTabs="False" />

Will

This is what I'm after.

Is there any documentation on this control anywhere? I can't seem to find any.

Thanks

Simon
