Required attribute 'duplicateFilePattern' not found

I'm using elFinder Webfroms version from https://elfinder.codeplex.com/. I've downloaded and tried to run the project but unable to run the project. I'm getting following error while running the test project.

Server Error in '/' Application.

I've tried a lot to find on Google to find out the reason for this error but was not able to find any single clue on the web.

Please anyone know about it, let me know how can I resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • Not 100% sure, as I can't find the docs easily, but the error is saying that you must specify a value for the duplicateFilePattern property.

    A quick search on SO finds a common value for this is

    duplicateFilePattern="Copy of {0}"

    suggesting it's a format string used to alter the name of a file in case it already exists.

    I'd suggest checking your documentation for elFinder, specifically the section on configurations.
