How can I specify the root folder for multi-portal dnn installations?

 

I need to be able to specify a root folder for images, etc per portal.

 

If I specify UseDNNRootImageDirectory="true" in the webconfig I can see all the folders in the root of the individual portal. If I change that to false I can specify the directory information in the security configs for each "role" but that information then becomes a global setting accross portals.

 

There needs to be a way to set the root directory and have that be applied dynamically per portal. At least until the editor can grab hold of the permissions by portal and role.

 

Any ideas how I can accomplish this?

I've updated the CuteEditor for DotNetNuke provider solution.

Please download the Nuke_edit from here.

Keep me posted.

I'll give it a go and let you know.

 

Thanks! This will be very helpful for all DNN users.

ok, This works for me. It would be better if you could specify the folder in the config files, but having an admin and member folder will solve the issue of protecting the root directory so admins can't delete or use stuff from the skin folders.

 

Works for what I need, thanks for taking the time to do it!

Adam,

 

This is working great, but I do have a suggestion if you don't mind.

 

Consider making the folder names more unique, especially the admin folder. Something like AdminFiles or CSAdmin. More for future reference than anything, the admin folder is ofetn used for "other" things.

 

Thanks again, it's working great.

Another Thought.... Make the path [PortalID]/CSEditor/folders

 

That would eliminate any conflict with current or future folders.

Adam, I really apologize for bugging you on this, but I'm wondering if my previous posts make sense and if you plan on changing this in the immediate future. I have several sites that need to be updated and I can live with what you have, but if theres going to be change I need to account for that in development.

 

Please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Jack
