Hi Borg,
How can i prevent members from viewing other member's images when they use the upload image feature? Currently, you are able to click on any other member's folder and view all the images they have uploaded. Also, I noticed that the images are being uploaded into the upload directory, which is fine, but they are not beign uploading to their corresponding member's name directory like before. Thanks in advance! |

Any images in the upload folder can be viewed in the RTE file browser by all members. Files are no longer uploaded to a folder with the users name, instead they are given a unique ID and attached to the users posts, so when the post is deleted the upload images/files are also deleted. |

Hi.
Good function in deleting the images when post are deletet. Saves a lot on server space.
BUT!
Itīs not a good thing that members can see other members images. On our site we have closed usergroup, were selected users post images. As of know, everyone can view those pictures. That was knever the intention.
Is it possible to correct this without sacrificing the first function? ------------- SUT - Donīt be moved by the world - Move the world!! |

You would have to remove the feature altogether. When images are uploaded they are uploaded to a public folder which means that you would just have to accept that they can be viewed by anyone. |

Hi.
Thought that was the case. Looked at the code.
But!
Under the Forum admin, you are able to choose if the the groups have rights to upload images. These rights have only been turned on in the specific forum, thus taking care off the problem with wrong peable viewing images.
There is a problem though! It dosnīt work! You can still post images in the other forums ass well.
Any idea? ------------- SUT - Donīt be moved by the world - Move the world!! |

| All users can post images, the settings are so that you can only set some users to upload images. |

You'd probably have to use some anti-leeching system where if the file is accessed directly or from a domain other than yours, it blocks access or substitutes another image. I know it can be done in Apache Web Servers, but I haven't tried such a thing on ISS.

Hi.
Still having problems with the new imageupload interface. Itīs very confusing to my users, plus there is an upload problem.
When you try and upload an image everythings seems to work fine. Preview works well, and when you punch the OK button you are taken back to the Forum_Post.asp, and your image is showing. But when you update the page or come by later(i.e. update), there is know image and onle the red cross. Looking at the path off the image give you this: http://www.magickids.dk/uploads/temp/imagepath - http://www.magickids.dk/uploads/temp/imagepath .
But there is no image there. It is located in the root of the upload folder!
Sometimes! Because itīs not always the case. Sometimes the image is not even uploaded!
Look at this post for an examble: http://www.magickids.dk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4644&FID=19&PN=1 - http://www.magickids.dk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4644&FID=19&PN=1
One more question. You said before that when a user or the webmaster deletes a post including an image, the image also gets deleted. What if the user i also displaying the image in another post? With the new upload interface itīs very likely that they will do just that.
So: Will that post then just show an red cross?
P.S.
Sorry that the WWGuide link is missing from the front page. Doing som remodeling on the design. It will be there shortly!  ------------- SUT - Donīt be moved by the world - Move the world!! |

There was an issue reported the other day that is being looked into. It seems that the upload feature will only work at present in sub folder of the forum and not in parent or root folders. I hoping to have this fixed for the final version. |

Hi Borg,
I think this is the case, as it didn't help me to re-upload the .asp files
Regards

I think this new image posting solution is confusing at best. Why should anyone see the folders in the upload directory if they can't upload to them? Russ |
