Document selector | MVC

The document selector enables you to display and retrieve a specific document.

Using the document selector, you can:

• Select and deselect documents
  
• Upload a document by either selecting it from a list, or using drag and drop
• Search for documents in the currently opened library or in all libraries
• Select the provider from which to retrieve documents
• Filter documents by Libraries, Categories, Tags, or Dates
• Sort documents by Title, Date created, or Date modified

NOTE: You can change the document selector's behavior by editing the widget properties in the Advanced settings section.

The document you select are kept in a scope array variable. The default template visualizes documents using the sfCollection directive. For more information, see Use a generic collection directive.

You can use the document selector in the frontend, as well as in the backend. For example, on a page, as well as in a widget designer.

The sfDocumentSelector is a directive with an isolated scope that is defined in a module with the same name: sfDocumentSelector.

In your DesignerView.YourView.cshtml file, place one of the following tags anywhere in the HTML code:

The values of the attributes are scope properties that you define in the MVC widget controller.
