Script to default upload widgets to open state

[kklosson]

The upload file widget is a poor design in that it is not clear how to expose the file selection control. The user has to click on the icon to expose it. It looks like this:

Closed.png (4.14 KiB) Viewed 4616 times

I would like it to appear as if it were already activated:

Open.png (4.92 KiB) Viewed 4616 times

I am looking for the script to do this but can't find it on the Kendo site. Can anyone assist?

I definitely agree up the poor design of this widget and would also like a better solution and also possibly a dropzone addition to this functionality. In the meantime, try this:
Add the following to a CSS file in your Custom/App/CSS folder:

Code: Select all

.k-dropzone {display: block !important}

NB: Written from the top of my head so not tested but I think it will work and will then work appwide for all document widgets (you can also add it just to a particular form via custom classes and stuff but not going into that.

Thanks! Could this go in the custom script for the control itself?

Your implementation works!

Many thanks.
