Setting up The Image Gallery Path

To enable the image management function of the CuteEditor control, you must set up a managed image gallery folder.

This is simply a folder in which you will be placing images for your users to use in their content. Create a folder in your application’s root folder. (For most applications, this is your web server’s root folder, or the folder where your Visual Studio .NET project file is located.) The folder can be named something like /uploads/, /images or /UserImages.

Make sure that the MACHINE/ASPNET user has Read+Write permissions on this folder and its contents.

How to specify the Image gallery path?

You can easily specify the image gallery path using the following methods:

1: Edit security policy file:

The security policy file (default.config, admin.config and guest.config) can be found in the /CuteEditor/Configuration/Security folder. In security policy file you can find the ImageGalleryPath element which contains the image gallery path information within CuteEditor. By default, it contains the following value:

<security name="ImageGalleryPath">~/uploads</security>

You can modify the ImageGalleryPath element to meet your own requirements.

For example:

Use absolute path:

<security name="ImageGalleryPath">/uploads</security>

Use physical path:

<security name="ImageGalleryPath">c:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads</security>

2: Programmatically specify the Image gallery path:

C# Example:

//use the app-based path 

Editor1.Setting["security:ImageGalleryPath"]= "~/uploads";

//use the absolute path 
Editor1.Setting["security:ImageGalleryPath"]= "/uploads";

//use the physical path 
Editor1.Setting["security:ImageGalleryPath"]= @"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads";

//use the app-based path 

Editor1.SetSecurityImageGalleryPath("~/uploads");

//use the absolute path 
Editor1.SetSecurityImageGalleryPath("/uploads");

//use the physical path 
Editor1.SetSecurityImageGalleryPath("c:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads");

VB Example:

//use the app-based path 

Editor1.Setting("security:ImageGalleryPath")= "~/uploads"

//use the absolute path 
Editor1.Setting("security:ImageGalleryPath")= "/uploads"

//use the physical path 
Editor1.Setting("security:ImageGalleryPath")= "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads"

//use the app-based path 

Editor1.SetSecurityImageGalleryPath("~/uploads")

//use the absolute path 
Editor1.SetSecurityImageGalleryPath("/uploads")

//use the physical path 
Editor1.SetSecurityImageGalleryPath("c:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads")
