Cannot upload a image file in the EPiServersite


I have created a EPIServer CMS site using visual studio. I am able to access the site using edit mode. I want to add some image on that site. But when I am trying to upload a image using the upload option it is showing failed message.Why it is happening do you have any idea. But when I have uploaded the images from the demp 'Aloy Site' given by EPIServer team it is uploaded successfully. Please tell the probable cause of this.

Thanks and regards Utpal Maity


Solution

  • I also got the fail to upload images. Firstly I thought it was a config-setting or a permission problem. But it turned out that I needed a "media descriptor".

    You can read about it here. This applies for EPiServer CMS 7.x

    C# example:

    [ContentType]
    [MediaDescriptor(ExtensionString = "jpg,jpeg,jpe,gif,bmp,png")]
    public class ImageFile : ImageData
    {
        public virtual string AlternativeText { get; set; }
    }
