Limit images shown in uploader

Reply Quote

I will be having many users using this system at one time - but they should not see each other's images. I have a current ASP classic wysiwyg editor that works like this:

---- Outside of editor ----
User logs in
USERNAME session variable is set

---- Inside of editor ----
When a user uploads a photo it is saved as USERNAME.FileName.FileExt

When a user clicks "Insert Image" it lists all files in the folder named USERNAME.*

Is there a way to replicate this behavior in CuteEditor?

Yes, Cute Editor can handle this situation easily:

For example, you have three users: Tim, Marry and John.

Tim's image gallery folder is "~/Uploads/Users/Tim"
Marry 's image gallery folder is "~/Uploads/Users/Marry "
John's image gallery folder is "~/Uploads/Users/John"

You can achieve that by doing the following code:

For more information, please check the Personalization and Programmatic Security Example

The source code the demo can be downloaded here: http://cutesoft.net/Downloads/default.aspx

Hope it helps.

Problem with that scenerio is that each user needs to have a physical folder on the server, I would prefer to use the UserName.FileName.FileExtension setup that I am currently using. The users are made and deleted very frequently, and there are 3,500 of them. If there is not a way to do that then my question becomes: "Where do I put that case statement?" Sorry I'm new :)

SpreadTheWord,

You don't need to use the "Case". That's just an example.

You need to authenticate the user when the page load. And set the different image upload folder based on the user's identity name.

For example:

Adam, how does this model apply in the dotnetnuke arena? I would like to have each of my registered users have their own upload directory basically. How can I reference the DNN userid or username?

Yes.

Open the CEHtmlEditorProvider.vb and find the following code:

If _usednnrootimagedirectory = True Then

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)
            End If

and change it to:

If _usednnrootimagedirectory = True Then

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

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

If role = "Admin" Then
                    tempfolder = ""
                Else
                    Dim ps As DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalSettings = CType(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Items("PortalSettings"), DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalSettings)

tempfolder = New DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController().GetUserByUsername(ps.PortalId, context.User.Identity.Name).UserID.ToString()
                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

Then recompile the provider project.
