Hi,

Could I Extend the Rich Text Editor in such a way that every user (every registered user) has its own sort of "root" folder in the File Manager?

I'm thinking that every user has its own folder in the File Manager. If I have 2 registered user, lets say UserID = 100 and 101, the folders in the File manager have folders "100" and "101"

If im logged in as userId 100, then, when I click the Insert/Edit Image, the popup appears and points to his own "root" folder, which is folder "100". And other folders that is created for other user and admin will not be displayed/accessed.

Any idea on how to do this? I'm still new to DNN and ASP.NET. any comments/ideas/workaround will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Legendlink,

It's been a bit since I've looked at the an HtmlProvider, so you'll have to forgive me if my guidance is a bit general in nature.

The functionality you describe is possible.  I know that the Telerik RadEditor DNN HtmlEditor provider supports folders on a per-user basis.  If you can get your hands on that, you might see how they've implemented it (as I said, its been awhile since I've looked).  I do not know if the default DNN FCKEditor supports this sort of thing, but it is at least remotely possible with a custom provider. 

Hope this gets you started!

Hi Legendlink,

I do not recall offhand if Telrik provides provider source for non-license versions of their editor software, so you'll have to contact them directly on that front.
