Hi Adam,

The problem with your "Programatically specify the ... gallery path" sections is that "~" represents the root of the DNN system - on our install, it's "e:\inetpub\wwwroot\website". So "~images/" would mean "e:\inetpub\wwwroot\website\images". However, we want the "~" to be portal specific so that "~images/" would mean "e:\inetpub\wwwroot\website\Portals\2\images".

I have added code to the Provider code "getSettingByRole()" that does this for me... Here is the code (I am certain you could write more elegant code, but it's late and I needed to get this done, but hopefully it illustrates what we are trying to accomplish):

                    If Not Directory.Exists(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(Templatefolder)) Then
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(Templatefolder))
                    End If

                    ' New code to allow customizations of the Gallery directories using the
                    ' _SecurityPolicyFile
                    Dim sImageGalleryPath As String = tempfolder
                    Dim sFilesGalleryPath As String = tempfolder
                    Dim sMediaGalleryPath As String = tempfolder
                    Dim sFlashGalleryPath As String = tempfolder
                    Dim sTemplateGalleryPath As String = Templatefolder
                    If (_SecurityPolicyFile <> "") Then     ' If a SecurityPolicyFile has been defined
                        Dim oXML As XmlTextReader
                        Dim sPath As String
                        Dim bFound As Boolean
                        oXML = New XmlTextReader(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(cntlCE.FilesPath) _
& "\Configuration\Security\" & _SecurityPolicyFile)
                        oXML.WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.None
                        oXML.Read()
                        While (Not oXML.EOF)
                            bFound = False
                            If (oXML.Name = "security") Then

                                If (Not bFound And (oXML.GetAttribute("name") = "ImageGalleryPath")) Then
                                    sPath = oXML.ReadElementContentAsString()
                                    sImageGalleryPath = Replace(sPath, "~", tempfolder)
                                    bFound = True
                                End If
                                If (Not bFound And (oXML.GetAttribute("name") = "FilesGalleryPath")) Then

risedev,

Try the steps below:

1. Set UseDNNRootImageDirectory to true.

2. Open CEHtmlEditorProvider.vb and find the following code:

Dim trim(1) As Char
trim(0) = "/"c

Dim tempfolder As String = "Guest"
Dim Templatefolder As String = ""

                    If role = "Admin" Then
                        tempfolder = ""
                    ElseIf role = "Registered" Then
                        tempfolder = "Member"
                    ElseIf role <> String.Empty Then
                        tempfolder = role
                    End If

tempfolder = RootImageDirectory.TrimEnd(trim) & "/" & tempfolder
Templatefolder = RootImageDirectory.TrimEnd(trim) & "/templates"

Dim phyfolder As String

phyfolder = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(tempfolder)

                    If role = "Administrators" Then
                        phyfolder = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(RootImageDirectory.TrimEnd(trim) & "/Admin")
                    End If

                    If Not Directory.Exists(phyfolder) Then
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(phyfolder)
                    End If

                    If Not Directory.Exists(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(Templatefolder)) Then
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(Templatefolder))
                    End If

                    cntlCE.SetSecurityImageGalleryPath(tempfolder)
                    cntlCE.SetSecurityFilesGalleryPath(tempfolder)
                    cntlCE.SetSecurityMediaGalleryPath(tempfolder)
                    cntlCE.SetSecurityFlashGalleryPath(tempfolder)
                    cntlCE.SetSecurityTemplateGalleryPath(Templatefolder)

And change it to:

Dim trim(1) As Char
trim(0) = "/"c

Dim tempfolder As String = "Images"
Dim Templatefolder As String = ""

tempfolder = RootImageDirectory.TrimEnd(trim) & "/" & tempfolder
Templatefolder = RootImageDirectory.TrimEnd(trim) & "/templates"

Dim phyfolder As String

phyfolder = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(tempfolder)

                    If role = "Administrators" Then
                        phyfolder = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(RootImageDirectory.TrimEnd(trim) & "/Admin")
                    End If

                    If Not Directory.Exists(phyfolder) Then
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(phyfolder)
                    End If

This will resolve the problem.

Re: DNN Provider 4.0 - Customize Toolbar by Role?

I've been trying to follow this thread and I may of missed the answer, but is there a way to without adjusting the web.config for every role to enable roles to only see/upload to a specific folder?

For example, I have multiple authors and within File Manager I create a folder for them, create a role for that specific user and assign that role to the folder with write permissions. So when they use FTB they can only see/upload items to their folder.

Can CuteEditor provide this same functionality? If I had only a handful of authors, I wouldn't mind customizing the web.config or the Admin.config or creating custom security files.

If this is possible can you please direct me on how I can do this? THe reason I'm inquiring about this is, i'm developing multiple sites and designating a person at each site to maintain their authors, so I need a webpage interface that these 'admins' can create a 'work space' for these authors.

I really like the functionality that this editor offers so I hope there is some kind of workaround for this. This editor seems to be the only one that works as advertised on MAC/PC. Which is important to me because I work for a school system.

Thanks

Jerry

Jerrry,

Yes.

Do your authors belong to admin role or another role?

Please check the Case 2 in the following thread:

Keep me posted

Hi,

I create a custom role. Then assign 1 specific person to that role. I then assign that role to specific part of the website. I also assign that role to a specific folder with r/w so that they have their own folder to store their files related to their part of the website.

I'm trying to create a school site and creating pages for staff in which they only have rights to edit their part of the website.

I hope this helps to explain what I'm trying to do.

Thanks for you help

Jerry.

Jerry,

>>but is there a way to without adjusting the web.config for every role to enable roles to only see/upload to a specific folder?

For your situation, you need to modify the web.config file and add the custom security setting for your custom role. Another solution is modifying the provider project and recompile the project.

How to add security settting for a custom role?

Let us assume your custom role name is: Author.

Just copy the following code into the web.config file.

     Author_AutoConfigure = "Full"
     Author_SecurityPolicyFile = "admin.config"
     Author_TemplateItemList = ""
     Author_DisableItemList = ""
     Author_AllowPasteHtml ="true"
     Author_EditorOnPaste = "default"
     Author_ReadOnly = "false"
     Author_ShowBottomBar ="true"
     Author_ShowHtmlMode ="true"
     Author_ShowPreviewMode ="true"
     Author_EnableStripScriptTags ="false"
     Author_EnableContextMenu    ="true"
     Author_EnableContextMenuEditing = "true"
     Author_EnableContextMenuFormat   = "true"
     Author_EnableContextMenuInsert = "true"
     Author_EnableContextMenuInsertAdvanced = "true"
     Author_EnableContextMenuInsertFiles = "true"
     Author_EnableContextMenuInsertForms = "true"
     Author_EnableContextMenuRelative = "true"
     Author_EnableContextMenuTags = "true"
     Author_EnableContextMenuVerbs = "true"

Please note that in the above code the security policy file used by "Author" is the admin.config.

You can easiy create a custom security policy file and assign it to "Author".

Hope it helps.
