Setting up the Media Gallery Path

To enable the Media Management Function of the CuteEditor control, you must set up a managed Media Gallery Folder.

This is simply a folder in which you will be placing media files 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/, /media or /UserMedia.

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

How to Specify the Media Gallery Path

You can easily specify the media 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 MediaGalleryPath element which contains the media gallery path information within Cute Editor. By default, it contains the following value:

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

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

For example:

Use absolute path:

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

Use physical path:

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

2: Programmatically specify the Media gallery path:

C# Example:

//use the app-based path 

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

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

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

//use the app-based path 

Editor1.SetSecurityMediaGalleryPath = "~/uploads";

//use the absolute path 
Editor1.SetSecurityMediaGalleryPath = "/uploads";

//use the physical path 
Editor1.SetSecurityMediaGalleryPath = @"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads";

VB Example:

//use the app-based path 

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

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

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

//use the app-based path 

Editor1.SetSecurityMediaGalleryPath = "~/uploads"

//use the absolute path 
Editor1.SetSecurityMediaGalleryPath = "/uploads"

//use the physical path 
Editor1.SetSecurityMediaGalleryPath = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads"
