Deploying the CuteSoft Editor files to another location

Reply Quote

We had originally deployed the CuteSoft_Editor folder to the root of our web application. We want to move it to a separate location so it can be referenced by multiple apps from one source. We followed the deployment docs:

1. Copy the files under CuteEditor to the target directory.
2. Map the directory in IIS as a virtual directory only (not application).
3. Add the following entry into your web.config.
<add key="CuteEditorDefaultFilesPath" value="~/editor" />

We set up a virtual directory called "CuteSoft_Editor" on our web server that was a copy of the folder deployed in the original web app, and removed the folder from the web app. We tried to add the key noted above but even as:

It doesn't work. We get a "Path not found" error trying to load the editor.

Your doc doesn't say in what section of web.config this key belongs. Is it AppSettings? If not, where?
The format of the value implies a location relative to the web app loading the editor. If the editor files are in a completely different virtual directory doesn't this reference need to be absolute? (i.e. value="http://servername/CuteSoft_Editor")?

Further complicating this we change the editor configuration file dynamically in our code:

CuteEditor.ConfigurationPath="~/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/Configuration/AutoConfigure/None.config"

If I change the "~" to a fully qualified directory I get an error stating that the path must start with a "~". This contradicts

your documentation that I can move the files to a separate virtual directory since the tilde implies that the

referenced files reside within the application executing the request.

Please clarify.

Yes, it should in AppSettings.

Try use the absolute path instead of application based path.
