</script>

JavaScript
getImageUploader("ImageUploaderID").setAllowFolderUpload(value);
value = getImageUploader("ImageUploaderID").getAllowFolderUpload();

Property Value

A boolean value (true or false). If true, the user can add folders to upload list. Otherwise only files can be added.

Note

If this property is false and the user adds some folder to the upload list, Image Uploader will add all files from this folder instead of the folder itself.

Default value is "false".

Remarks

When the uploaded folders contain subfolders, you probably would like to restore the folder structure on the server. To do it, you can parse the FileName_N. It contains not just the file name, but the relative path (relatively the folder which is being uploaded, including the name of this folder). For example, if the user sends a MyDocuments folder, which contains a MyPhotos subfolder; all files inside this subfolder will be received on a server and their FileName_i POST fields will contain MyDocuments\MyPhotos\filename values.
