Set image dir. while running code in ASP.Net

I am using FCK in an ASP.Net. I want to save upload images (using the BROWSE SERVER option) in differtent directories (which one depends on the person that logged in). So I cannot set just the UserFilesPath in the web config (I did that and that works fine, but I want to be able to use a subdirectory in there).

How can I manage to do that? Is there a propertie in the ASP.Net control or maybe do I have to change it in the .js file.

Hope someone can help me.

I believe you can override the config file key by setting a session variable of the same name at runtime instead eg: Session["FCKeditor:UserFilesPath"] = "/testeditor/UserFiles/myusername"; I've tried this out and FCK will then go and create the directories under the path set in the session variable.

Re: Set image dir. while running code in ASP.Net

I ran accross the same problem. I want to set a dynamic path for the file uploads based on environment variables (i.e. which user is logged on). The suggested method of setting the Session state didn't work for me. However, after some playing around with the control, I found a way to do it. Since the web.config configuration setting always seemed to work, I thought, why not configure that setting dynamically. And voila, that did the trick (C#):

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FCKeditor:UserFilesPath"] = "~/SomeUploadPath";

Obviously you can adjust the string you set to contain any dynamic information such as the logged on user's ID. This works fine here. The above line is only for ASP.NET 2.0 however. If you're still using ASP.NET 1.1, try:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["FCKeditor:UserFilesPath"] = "~/SomeUploadPath";

Nice control by the way!
