Hey there,

I'm a new user to DNN, but a longtime content developer/admin lite on a Classic ASP site, and have been exceedingly impressed with the system, and the Repository feature in particular. My site is going to be hosting files submitted by the admins and by registered users, but in testing we've run into an issue.

When attempting to edit a submitted but not yet approved file, OR when editing a previously approved file, the file and image paths disappear. To make issues worse, the Browse button doesn't let me type in the remote path to the server where my site his hosted. So when I click Upload, the Repository item breaks (or in the case of the unapproved file, remains unapproved). Do I need to trace back the file path each and every time to the file in order to edit something as simple as the description or title? I'm not sure what we're supposed to do, as we'd have to re-enter an item every time we wanted to edit or approve an item.

This is going to be an issue in the future, as my site admins are definately lower-end users and just need something that works with the least amount of hassle. Is there currently a plan for file paths to be restored automatically when editing or moderating repository items in the next release?

Thanks,

I definately see the filenames below the box, but they aren't be repopulated in the textboxes, so when I hit upload they drop. The files remain on the server, however...it just seems like the path is broken.

I just tested it again with both approved downloads and the moderate function. The approved downloads were OK, but moderate broke when I edited before hitting Upload prior to approval - the image entered in the image field is now broken and the download link pops up a window but gives nothing.

Might the fact that I changed the default directories for approved, unapproved, and anonymous files have anything to do with it? I guess we could also approve then take the extra step to edit after it's approved but I'm still concerned.

FTR, I'm using the newest version of Repository 3.0.9, fully updated version of IE on an XP SP2 machine. I'm using the Nifty repository module, too.

Thanks!
