EPi.CreateDialog returns object instead of value

In our custom property we use the FileManagerBrowser.aspx in a dialog to retreive the path to the selected image.

Here is the code:

function OpenFileDialogLink(url, pageId, parentPageId, folderId, selectedfile, tbClientID) {

url += '?id=' + pageId + '&parent=' + parentPageId + '&folderid=' + folderId;

url += '&browserselectionmode=image&selectedfile=' + selectedfile;

var linkAttributes = new Object();

var dialogArguments = linkAttributes;

var features = { width: 600 };

var callbackArguments = new Object();

callbackArguments.myControlId = tbClientID;

/* opens the filemanagerbrowser dialog */

EPi.CreateDialog(url, OnDialogClosed, callbackArguments, dialogArguments, features);

return false;

}

function OnDialogClosed(returnValue, callbackArguments) {

if (returnValue != undefined && returnValue != 0) {

var myCtrl = document.getElementById(callbackArguments.myControlId);

myCtrl.value = returnValue;

SetPreviewImage(callbackArguments.myControlId);

}

Calling it with the following code:

btFile.OnClientClick = string.Format("return OpenFileDialogLink('{0}', '{1}', '{2}', '{3}', '{4}', '{5}')",

EPiServer.UriSupport.ResolveUrlFromUIBySettings("edit/FileManagerBrowser.aspx"),

CurrentPage.PageLink, CurrentPage.ParentLink, pageDirName,

System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(tbFile.Text), tbFile.ClientID);

The problem is that the returnValue parameter is not the selected file's path but instead [object Object]. We are using EPiServer CMS 6. Any help would be very appreciated!

I should returned in a property on that object. I don't remember exaclty, but I would try returnValue.href. If that doesn't work I would add a breakpoint in FireBug and inspect the returnValue object more closely.

Hello Jonas,

Were you able to find a solution to the problem. Iam facing similar issues now. Since while trying to get the image url it returns an object, not sure why that is ??

Hi,

I just had the exact same problem and used the developer tool in IE to find out what was going on.

Instead of this code:

function OnFileDialogClosed(returnValue, callbackArguments) {

if (returnValue != undefined && returnValue != 0) {

var myCtrl = document.getElementById(callbackArguments.myControlId);

myCtrl.value = returnValue

}

I hade to use this to get hold of the value I wanted:

function OnFileDialogClosed(returnValue, callbackArguments) {

if (returnValue != undefined && returnValue != 0) {

var myCtrl = document.getElementById(callbackArguments.myControlId);

myCtrl.value = returnValue.items[0].path

}

Don't really know the reason behind this though...

I should also add that this occurred after I upgraded a site from CMS5 R2 SP2 to CMS 6 R2.

Regards
Nicklas
