Select media folder to save uploaded images in

Vote:
 

Hello!

I need to set a property on a page to allow the editor to select which asset folder uploaded images should be saved in. Right now, when a user submits an image in an form, I create a blob and just save it under SiteDefenition.Current.GlobalAssetRoot. How do I do this/change the place where I save the uploaded images?

Hi, maybe this is not exactly what you want (asset folder), but you should be able to define the following property:

[Display(GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content, Order = 1)]
[Required]
[UIHint(UIHint.MediaFolder)]
public virtual ContentReference MyFolder { get; set; }

This will let you select a folder (only a folder) from the Edit interface, which you then can use for your file upload:

var repository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentRepository>();
var file = contentRepository.GetDefault<GenericFile>(MyFolder);
...create blob, write and save file etc...
