Root Image Directory in DNN 3

Reply Quote

Hi Adam,

This still doesn't seem to be getting populated and sticks to the default (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\).

I'm using 4.0.0.5 and need to manually apply:

RootImageDirectory = PortalSettings.HomeDirectory

in Initialise() event of CEHtmlEditorProvider.vb.

I haven't got time at the moment to step through it and see why the property isn't being populated, but I will post back when I do (DNN 3.0.11).

Cheers,
Andrew

Andrew,

Can you give me more details about what's wrong?

We are using the following code to get the RootImageDirectory:

Public Overrides Property RootImageDirectory() As String
            Get
                If _RootImageDirectory = "" Then
                    Dim _portalSettings As PortalSettings = DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings

                    RootImageDirectory = _portalSettings.HomeDirectory.Substring(_portalSettings.HomeDirectory.IndexOf("/Portals/"))
                Else
                    RootImageDirectory = _RootImageDirectory
                End If

            End Get
            Set(ByVal Value As String)
                _RootImageDirectory = Value
            End Set
End Property

Hi Adam,

Sorry I missed this one.. The issue still exists in the latest .06 release. The RootImageDirectoy property doesn't seem to get populated by the PortalSettings call.

After stepping through in the debugger, its jumps to the 'ELSE" branch of the IF statement, as _RootImageDirectory has somewhere been populated to be a default setting of c:\inetpub\wwwroot... whereas it should be completely different (ie point to the portal root, such as ...\portals\0\for example)

This can be demonstrated by the error received when openign the image gallery from the editor.

By changing the initial class declaration in the provider it seems to work fine. ie, change:
Private _RootImageDirectory As String
to
Private _RootImageDirectory As String = PortalSettings.HomeDirectory

This has occured in a few different installs in our environment so didn't think it would be unique to us. I'm thinking perhaps that the Property declaration you've listed above is a carryover from an older version of DNN. I can't see any reason why PortalSettings.HomeDirectory wouldn't suffice..

More info:

Keep me posted.
