Context menu, enable "Open" menu item on pdf file

[shanaka perera]

As mentioned in the subject, I only need to enable context menu "Open" menu item, when it is a pdf file. (No need of opening the pdf file) Currently it is enable only for folders and image types.

I tried with

$fileExplorer->menuBeforeOpen('beforeContextMenuOpen')

but I couldn't find a solution. Any help would be appreciable.

Hi Shanaka, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion support. 

 

We have validated your requirement in File Explorer control. We can enable/disable the context menu item in the File Explorer control by using method enableMenuItem. We have prepared sample to meet your requirement, in this sample we have used the MenuOpen event for enabling the Open menu item. Please refer the below code block. 

 

div class="cols-sample-area"> 

    <?php                 

        $fileexplorer=new EJ\FileExplorer('default'); 

        echo $fileexplorer 

            ->path('FileExplorerPHP/FileBrowser/') 

            ->ajaxAction('EJ/Services/FileExplorer') 

            ->ajaxDataType('jsonp') 

            ->menuOpen('onMenuOpen') 

            ->enableThumbnailCompress(true) 

            ->width('100%') 

            ->isResponsive(true) 

            ->render(); 

    ?> 

  

</div> 

<script> 

    function onMenuOpen(args){ 

        this.enableMenuItem("Open"); 

    } 

</script>

Hi Muthukrishnan,

Thank you for the reply. Please let me know if there is a way to check whether the contextMenu popup element is a pdf document or not. Because I want to perform enabling this "Open" menuItem only if it is generated on top of a pdf document.

Example

function onMenuOpen(args) {
    if (args.something == 'pdf') { // if the file is pdf then enable Open menuItem
        this.enableMenuItem("Open");
    }
}

We have validated your requirement in PHP File Explorer control. We can achieve your requirement by checking whether the selected item is pdf or not. Please refer to the below code block.

            this.enableMenuItem("Open");
