Dynamic Imaging

Sorry, but I can't understand what's the problem about.

Can you explain it again and tell us how it is related to this editor?

I know exactly what he's talking about; I have the same problem. Ok, so imagine his directory structure full of htms. He also has subdirectories all over the place with source images for the htm docs. If you navigate to any of these htms, the browser grabs the images fine from the subdirectories because the paths are relative, so it just assumes that the document path is the parent and the image directories must be hanging off that.

Problem with FCKeditor is that you need to read the htm file into a string and set that as the editor.Value in order to display. That works fine, but no images are displayed because suddenly the relative paths don't make any sense because we're not necessarily in the directory that the doc resides in.

So the question remains, given a directory tree of biblical proportions, how does one correct/set relative paths for source images?

Cheers,
Scott

That's what the FCKConfig.BaseHref setting is used for.

Unfortunately the current version doesn't support it properly for Firefox, but it seems that given that Firefox 1.5 has fixed the bug that caused the problem the next version of FCKeditor might bring this function for everyone (that has updated his browser of course)

So all that you wanted to know it's how to specify a different image path for each user in Asp.

As you found out the only thing that you need to change it's the ConfigUserFilesPath setting, but using cookies like that it's a horrible idea from a security point of view. once logged in any user could change it's userId cookie to any other one and they could mess with the files of the other user.

And what's more: what would happen if they change the value of the cookie to something like "../../" ?

Ok, but remember to don't use cookies that way or you will find yourself someday in serious trouble.
