Hi everyone,

Currently I'm doing some changes to the Filemanager module and stuck with the problem of getting fileticket for the uploaded file. Whta I'm trying to do:

when I upload new file into the folder I need to get all users who have permission to view the folder and its files and notify them by email that new file was uploaded. In the email I need to send them a link to the file. The link contains LinkClick.aspx with file ticket. So I have a question, is tehre any way to get / generate fileticket for the uploaded file (I see its already in database), Fileticket doesn't use FileId, the url looks like that:

/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=_klRq-yzGAk%3d

So the question is: How can I get fileticket?

Thanks in advance.

 Thanks for that function. I think it's exectly what I need. But I have question, it takes 3 arguments:
public static string LinkClick(string Link, int TabID, int ModuleID);

What values should I put for TabId and ModuleId if I want send link to the uploaded file be email?

Hi all,
Thanks Mandeep and Bruce for your help.  I work with Vasily, and this does indeed work for people who are logged in and in the role(s) with permission to view files in that folder, but instead of prompting to login for anyone not logged in or not in the role, DNN simply throws an error.  the error is a 404 - not found.

Any ideas why this is?
the code used above gets a good linkclick and fileticket, eg:
http://www.nzalpa.org.nz/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=BaPLZl3y-FI%3d
but you will see if you try follow that link you'll get a generic error, whereas I get to see the file (when logged in).
when creating links to the same file in the Text/HTML module it does exactly the same thing, errors rather than presenting us with the login page!

I'm sure that DNN's LinkClick.aspx page used to / is supposed to prompt login when permissions deny the link, but this doesn't seem to be working for us.  is it a know bug or something to do with our set up I wonder?

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
Tim
