I am running DNN 4.3.4 on WinXP attached to an SQL 2000 database. I created a module that stores images and flash documents as blob data.

When the user is authenticated, the data is displayed as one might expect; however, an unauthenticated user cannot see the data. An unauthenticated user only sees the alternate text of the image tag.

Here is a code snipit from my module that shows how the image tag is created. This particular line of code came out of my ItemDataBound event for my DataList control.

String.Format("<img src={0} alt={1} border=0>", EditUrl("ItemID", ((DataItemInfo)e.Item.DataItem).ItemID.ToString(), "ImageViewer"), ((DataItemInfo)e.Item.DataItem).FileName);

For those VBers out there the single line above might look something like this to you.

Dim ItemSrc as String

Dim AlternateText as String

Dim ItemInfo as DataItemInfo

ItemInfo = CType(e.Item.DataItem, DataItemInfo)

ItemSrc = EditURL("ItemID", ItemInfo.ItemID.ToString(), "ImageViewer")

AlternateText = ItemInfo.FileName

"<img src=" & ItemSrc & " Alt=" & AlternateText & " border=0>"

The image viewer control simply performs the binarywrite of the byte buffer. So there is really nothing trick about my image handling. I have been using this method for displaying blob data for a long time, and never had any problems in my 1.x .NET environments. I am guessing that 2.x .NET environment does something a little different. So does anyone have a clue?

TIA,

John

ok, let me see here, a non-administrative user doesn't see images, cannot properly use a dropdown menu (IE: the postback somehow misfires), cannot see text in a dnn:label control, and stored module settings are not reflected in an asp:DataList control.

The module works perfectly when the user is an administrator, host, or a member of the administrators group.

PLEASE Help Me!
