Ektron Upload File Into Library

Posted on February 18, 2015October 26, 2015 By David Kittell

I found and modified code to create an Ektron Library File Upload function.
This function allows some customization:

Defined Folder ID
- In this code I manually set the folder ID but effectively
  you could have a drop down list of folders to select the folder
  (see DMS Widget)
Content Title
- This is used in the Ektron Library as the title of the
  file
File Name
- This is used in the Ektron Library as the filename and part
  of the filepath
File Upload Control
- This is used in the event that you want to have more than
  one upload control
