Invalid character '~' Image Manager MOSS 2007

[Andy]

Hi,

I encounter an error while setting the ImagesPaths for the RadHTMLField control to the root directory.

Here is how I set the Image path in the config file.
<property name="ImagesPaths"><item>~/PressReleases/PublishingImages</item></property>
  <property name="UploadImagesPaths"><item>~/PressReleases/PublishingImages</item></property>
  <property name="DeleteImagesPaths"><item>~/PressReleases/PublishingImages</item></property>

System will prompt
"Server Error in '/' Application"
"/~/" contains illegal character '~'

Exception details : Microsoft.Sharepoint.SPException:"/~/" contains illegal character '~'

The error is solved when I changed the image path to
<property name="ImagesPaths"><item>PressReleases/PublishingImages</item></property>

But I would like to make the path to be dynamic to the sub site. Any idea how I should configure the Image path

Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,

Straight to the points:

• In RadEditor for MOSS you need to set only the ImagesPaths - under MOSS there are no UploadImagesPaths and DeleteImagesPaths because, this depends on the libraries permissions.
   
• The path must not include "~" because, under moss we are pointing libraries.
   
• In the latest version of RadEditor for MOSS you can set the paths to point to the root site in the site collection ("/Images") or to the current site ("Images"). This depends on the "/" before the folder - these are the only two opportunities.

In addition to this please, review the following help article: Set Properties Via Config File

I hope this helps.
