Is there a way to change the Homedirectory path in Digital Asset Management Module to File Share Server rather than using Root Folder\Portals\0. We are migrating from 5.2.2 to 7.4.1.

In DNN 5.2.2 the file share path is set in the FileManager.ascx.vb file on page load. In DNN 741 we tried same approach but it still points to either website root (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\iMercerDNN) or the default path (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\iMercerDNN\Portals\0)

I tried changing the folder\path in the HomeDirectory  column in “Portals” table to any Folder\Path, DNN creates that folder under its root directory.

       There exists a property HomeDirectoryMapPath in PortalInfo.cs class which defines the path to store the files physically under DAM. As of current it returns:

 String.Format("{0}\\{1}\\", Globals.ApplicationMapPath, HomeDirectory.Replace("/", "\\")); 

I tried overriding the Property to return the file share path:  return <File Share Path> Still no luck.

Then I tried to change the value passed for HomeDirectoryMapPath while populating the Portal Setting object in PortalSettngsControler.cs to set it as the file share path, no luck.

I also tried to set the path as any drive folder under my local system, still it uses the root folder.

5.    There exists a couple of functionalities as Clear Cache and Restart Application domain under Tools for host login. I tried clearing cache and restarting Application domain after each change made, no effects were taken.

The setting in the website for Root Physical Path is a read only label, so cannot be changed from there

Please can some one help me change the Home Directory Path
