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". Use "~/" (tilde) as a substitution of the web-application root directory.

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><!-- Image Gallery Dialog -->
<security name ="ImageBrowserPath" >~/uploads</security><!-- Insert Image Dialog -->

You can modify ImageGalleryPath element and ImageBrowserPath element to meet your own requirements.

For example:

Use absolute path:

<security name ="ImageGalleryPath" >/uploads</security><!-- Image Gallery Dialog -->
<security name ="ImageBrowserPath" >/uploads</security><!-- Insert Image Dialog -->

Use physical path:

<security name="ImageGalleryPath" >c:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads</security><!-- Image Gallery Dialog -->
<security name="ImageBrowserPath" >c:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads</security><!-- Insert Image Dialog -->

2. Programmatically specify the Image gallery path

C# Example:

//use the app-based path 

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

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

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

or

//use the app-based path 

Editor1.SetSecurityImageGalleryPath("~/uploads");
Editor1.SetSecurityImageBrowserPath("~/uploads");

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

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

VB Example:

//use the app-based path 

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

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

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

or

//use the app-based path 

Editor1.SetSecurityImageGalleryPath("~/uploads")
Editor1.SetSecurityImageBrowserPath("~/uploads")

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

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

Multiple Image gallery paths are supported, they must be separated by a vertical bar (|).

<security name ="ImageGalleryPath" >/uploads|/photos</security><!-- Image Gallery Dialog -->
<security name ="ImageBrowserPath" >/uploads|/photos</security><!-- Insert Image Dialog -->

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

Multiple folder paths are supported, they must be separated by a vertical bar (|).

<security name ="HideDirectoryList" >/folder1|/folder2</security>

Editor1.Setting["security:HideDirectoryList"]= "~/folder1|/folder2";

Multiple files are supported, they must be separated by a vertical bar (|).

<security name ="HideFileList" >/hidethisfile.jpg|^.*hidethiskeyword</security>

Editor1.Setting["security:HideFileList"]= "/hidethisfile.jpg|^.*hidethiskeyword";
