How to add additional text box in the Upload box's dialog ?

2 mins read

To add additional fields to the Uploadbox’s dialog, override the internal _pushFileDetails method to include the new elements. The internal methods can be overridden as follows:

Javascript

<script type="text/javascript"> 
    ej.Uploadbox.prototype._pushFileDetails = function (files) { 
         . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 
    }; 
</script> 

 

Render and add the header for the new textbox.

Javascript

var addbox; 
addbox = $("<div class='e-file-head e-head-box'>Text</div>"); // adding header for the textbox 
$(addbox).appendTo(addedheading); // adding to the heading container element 

 

Then, create the textbox element with necessary class to provide styles.

Javascript

addedfilebox = $("<div class='e-file-size e-file-view'><div class='e-file-box'><input class='e-filetxt' type='text' /></div>"); // creating textbox element 

 

Once it is created, append it to the container element.

Javascript

$(addedfilebox).appendTo(addedlist); // appending to the container element 

 

Refer to the following combined code snippet.

Javascript

<script type="text/javascript"> 
    ej.Uploadbox.prototype._pushFileDetails = function (files) { 
        var fileListDetails, addedFile, actionlist, i, action, me, diaObj, addedlist, addedheading, addname,addbox, addsize, addstatus, addaction, addedfilename, addedfilebox, addedfilestatus, addedfilesize, addedfileaction, filedialog, DialogContentContainer, dialogActions, fileListActions; 
        addedheading = $("<div class='e-head-content'></div>"); 
        addname = $("<div class='e-file-head e-head-name'>" + this._getLocalizedLabels("name") + "</div>"); 
        addbox = $("<div class='e-file-head e-head-box'>Text</div>"); // adding header for the textbox 
        addsize = $("<div class='e-file-head e-head-size'>" + this._getLocalizedLabels("size") + "</div>"); 
        addstatus = $("</div><div class='e-file-head e-head-status'>" + this._getLocalizedLabels("status") + "</div>"); 
        if (this.model.customFileDetails.name) $(addname).appendTo(addedheading); 
        $(addbox).appendTo(addedheading); // adding to the heading container element

        return addedFile; 
    }; 
</script> 

 

Note:

The _pushFileDetails method can be overridden in the previous code.  Placing this code in the application will replace the default _ pushFileDetails method. The highlighted code is added in addition to the default code in the method.

 

Also, modify the existing styles to fit the textbox and apply some styling to blend the newly added text box in the Upload box’s dialog. Kindly refer to the following code snippet.

<style class="cssStyles"> 

/* Override the existing styles for the items in the dialog*/ 

    .e-uploadbox .e-head-name.e-uploadbox .e-head-status { 

        width150px; 

    } 

    .e-uploadbox .e-file-progress { 

        width130px; 

    } 

    .e-uploadbox .e-file-list .e-file-percentage { 

        width120px; 

    } 

 

/* Provide styles for newly added textbox content*/ 

    .e-uploadbox .e-file-head.e-head-box { 

        width80px; 

    } 

    .e-uploadbox .e-file-box { 

        padding-top12px; 

    } 

    .e-uploadbox .e-file-box .e-filetxt { 

        width50px; 

        border4px solid black; 

    } 

</style>
