Templates in a database

Reply Quote

In my project all templates are stored in a database. The templates (html files) shows up corectly in the "Insert template" dialog, but when I point out a specific template and push the Insert button nothing happens. The preview function does not work either.

In all other insert dialogs (image, flash, media etc) everything woks fine, even in custom dialogs/function. Images and other files are stored in the database too.

I have downloaded version 5.3, but the insert template problem still exists.

Until then, is it possible to mix it, so images and media files still are stored in the database, and templates are stored in the file system? In Page_load I put the following 3 lines of code, in order to load and store images in the database.

txtContent.Setting["CuteEditorFileStorageType"]=typeof(SqlFileStorage).AssemblyQualifiedName;
txtContent.Setting["DownFile"]=ResolveUrl("../Webforms/DownFile.Aspx");
txtContent.SetSecurityGalleryPath("/");

If I set the following line of code in order to get templates from the file system, it won't work, because of the 3 lines above. If I uncomment the 3 lines above, then loading of templates works fine.
As a solution: Is it possible to trigger the key/button pressed?

txtContent.SetSecurityTemplateGalleryPath("~/templates");

Thanks

Torben

Thanks for your quick response. CuteSoft delivers a very good support.

Now I can insert templates from a database, but there is still a little bug - even in your online demo. If you want to insert a template, you must both check the file checkbox and click on the file name before you can insert the template into the editor.

An other issue. I want to customize the dialog, so the user can't upload other templates. I also want to prevent the user from deleting templates etc. I have done this customizing by hiding buttons and by setting the width og heigth property in the HTML tags. This works fine, but I also want to customize the file list, so only checkboxes and filenames are shown. I want to suppress the file size and the button for editing the template. Is this possible?

Many functions are apperently included in the TemplateBrowserPage, which is referencend in the top of the InsertTemplate.Frame.aspx file, but these functions can't be modified by the user. There is apperently no configuration files for this purpose.

Please edit the security policy file (default.config, admin.config and guest.config).

The security policy file (default.config, admin.config and guest.config) can be found in the /CuteEditor/Configuration/Security folder.

I know of all these settings, but thy are general settings. If you fx disable uploading (AllowUpdate=false) you can't upload images, media files and templates. What I'm looking for is an individual setting for templates. I know that this isn't possible at the moment, but I will suggest, that you in coming releases make separate policy files or different entries in the exitings policy files.

Hi Adam,

One more thing, I forgot to add, i don't have a specific need to save my templates in database...i can save the templates on my server itself..so if the templates could even be read from a templates folder on the server, that would also work for me

Thanks

Gaurav

Gaurav,

Can you download the latest build of the version 5.3 and try again?

>>But as soon as i browse for a template and click on upload or create a new template and click on save

>>it gives me the same error "failed to map path /filename"

I belive the DLL you are using is not latest.

We fixed this bug in the latest build.

Keep me posted

Gaurav,

It's strange.

This isssue should be fixed in the new build. After Torben reported this bug, we fixed it. Are you sure you have updated all the client files and DLL when upgrading?
