Hi,

I am sorry for the noob question, but I am trying to create a module that references a directory in the current portal.  I have tried to using several of the Portal variables but haven't  found one that works. My development site is http://localhost/DNN48/test/.  It is a child portal.  The address I am looking for is http://localhost/DNN48/Portals/2/Images/myImage.jpg.  So I tried assembling a path from some of the variables in the UserControl class. 

PortalAlias.HttpAlias - /localhost/DNN48/test - That would work fine for the main portal, but child portals don't seem to like it

PortalSettings.HomeDirectory - /DNN48/Portals/2/ - would be fine except I need the server name

All the other path type members of the Portal classes seem to be local hard drive oriented.  Do you have to parse these string and know where the base of the website is?  I am not seeing a clear way to know that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does this help?

 Dim strSourcePath As String = Server.MapPath("~/DesktopModules/MyModule/MyFolder")

 Dim filterFolderName As String = "MySubFolder"

 FileSystemUtils.AddFolder(PortalSettings, strSourcePath, filterFolderName, FolderController.StorageLocationTypes.InsecureFileSystem)
 

This would create \DesktopMudules\MyModule\MyFolder\MySubFolder

I have not tried it but assume you could replace DesktopModules with Portals etc ...

I have found that if I am in the root portal (Portal 0) than I can just add "/Portals/0/' and that will work.  If I am in any other portal then take the http alias and search backwards to find the first / and take everything before that and add '/Portals/PortalID/' then that works. 

I believe that DNN does not allow sub/subportals.  I tried adding one and it didn't loke that too much.  Does anybody know of any reason why this wouldn't work?

Thanks,

Richard
