Access Denied when using Image Manager to insert images

[Nishim]

Hi

I am having a problem with the rad editor.  When using the Image manager, or Image map editor, I get an access denied error due to the default location that the Rad Editor looks at.  Do you know how to change this so the rad editor looks that only the existing site?  We won’t be able to open up the permission access in due to the overall portal security so we need to be able to adjust the location the editor looks at.

Hi Nishim,

It is possible to have unique configuration files (one for lists and one for web parts and publishing fields) for each SharePoint web on your server and in this unique configuration file you can set certain properties for RadEditor - ImagePaths, FlashPaths, DocumentsPaths, MediaPaths etc.

For more information please, review the following help articles:

• Different configuration files for different webs
• Set Properties Via Config File

Note that your ImagePath can look like this: SitesCollection\Site1\SiteCollectionImages


I hope this helps.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

I have created new config files as suggested in the articles give below but still it did not work for me. It is still showing "Access Denied". I think the editor is using some sort of setting based on the root of the server.  That's where the odd permissions they recommended come into play.

Please let me know the solution asap.

Hi Nishim,

The current version of RadEditor's image manager is designed to use setting based on the root of the server. What we suggest is to use the MOSS's image manager (with which you can accomplish the desired functionality). You can easily achieve this by changing the image manager's ToolsFile.xml declaration with the following line:

<tool name="MOSSImageManager" />

I hope this helps.

I'm having a similar problem right now and those links mentioned above don't seem to be working anymore.

Essentially, I have to make someone a site owner at the root level in order to get the MOSSImageManager to work for them.  This is the case no matter how many sites deep the issue arose.

A pointer in the right direction would be awesome since this thing sort of landed in my lap and I have very little experience in this arena.

Thank you
