The images in the repository simply show a partial path (no image) when there is no user logged in.

This is what the user sees when where an image was before when he logs off:

Steve,

First off, I want to thank you and the team of people who worked on the Repository Module. This module is really a pretty amazing module.

As for the picture issue:

In the Repository.ascx code behind file (Repository.ascx.vb)

If you have the image set up as a clickable link to down load the file and you are seeing an image while logged in as administrator or host and the image disappears when you logout. It's because you have the the settings for "DOWNLOAD ROLES" for the module are set up incorrectly. Make sure you select the roles of individuals that are able to download. If you select All Users, the image will appear properly.

There's a boolean variable b_CanDownload that was causing it to run down another part of the if loop.

Steve,

Digging a little deeper, I believe there may be an issue with the way the code is handling the [IMAGE] tag, and why I’ve been confused.

I believe the original code was designed to return the PATH of the image. In lstObjects.ItemDatabound event handler shows that a LiteralControl is being added to the Controls Array

                                                                objPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl(oRepositoryBusinessController.FormatImageURL(objRepository.ItemId)))

It can be confirmed by looking at one of the template.html files.

            <a href="[IMAGE]" target="_blank">

                        img src="[THUMBNAIL]" border="0" alt="Thumbnail" />

            </a>

However, since I want the image to be an image button that when clicked starts a download, I see in the lstObjects.ItemDatabound event handler that an ImageButton control is being added to the Controls Array

Dim ibtn As New ImageButton

objPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(ibtn)

In which case for my template.html file I simply want to place an

[IMAGE] tag for where I want the image to be located.

            <span>[IMAGE] </span>

Thus, if the user is not in the Download group, all that was injected with the LiteralControl, and the reason why I was only seeing the “path” to the image and not the image itself.
