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
                                    sPath = oXML.ReadElementContentAsString()
                                    sFilesGalleryPath = Replace(sPath, "~", tempfolder)
                                    bFound = True
                                End If
                                If (Not bFound And (oXML.GetAttribute("name") = "MediaGalleryPath")) Then
                                    sPath = oXML.ReadElementContentAsString()
                                    sMediaGalleryPath = Replace(sPath, "~", tempfolder)
                                    bFound = True
                                End If
                                If (Not bFound And (oXML.GetAttribute("name") = "FlashGalleryPath")) Then
                                    sPath = oXML.ReadElementContentAsString()
                                    sFlashGalleryPath = Replace(sPath, "~", tempfolder)
                                    bFound = True
                                End If
                                If (Not bFound And (oXML.GetAttribute("name") = "TemplateGalleryPath")) Then
                                    sPath = oXML.ReadElementContentAsString()
                                    sTemplateGalleryPath = Replace(sPath, "~", tempfolder)
                                    bFound = True
                                End If
                            End If

                            If (Not bFound) Then
                                oXML.Read()
                            End If
                        End While
                    End If

                    cntlCE.SetSecurityImageGalleryPath(sImageGalleryPath)
                    cntlCE.SetSecurityFilesGalleryPath(sFilesGalleryPath)
                    cntlCE.SetSecurityMediaGalleryPath(sMediaGalleryPath)
                    cntlCE.SetSecurityFlashGalleryPath(sFlashGalleryPath)
                    cntlCE.SetSecurityTemplateGalleryPath(sTemplateGalleryPath)
