Re: Linking to an HTML document with embedded images 

 

 

The HTML pages are being created by a 3rd party and use relative images. And they are news articles, so a headline and link to the document are perfect.

I was hoping to be able to upload the HTML and images as a zip package and have them displayed properly. The current way DNN generates the files with tickets on the fly must give them an unknown location, so the images do not show up.

This sounds like a typical sort of CMS function.  Do you see this a possible use case for either announcments for the documents module  or is a custom development job ?

Re: Linking to an HTML document with embedded images 

Jim,

The problem is that dnn uses the linkclick / fileticket logic to implement file security. The functionality you need would be to disregard that file security. That might be ok for your specific usecase, but not that is not something that will be implemented in the core (mind you: this is core functionality we are talking about, nothing to do with announcements as such)

So you would need some kind of custom module development job...

Re: Linking to an HTML document with embedded images 

Erik/Sebastian,

Thanks for the feedback

I tested out a simple change to the announcements module where I added a new property that can be used from the readmore link to link to that actual html file on the portals folder.

Can you clatify regarding what the security risk may be to do this either here or send me a mail offline ?

Thanks, Jim

Re: Linking to an HTML document with embedded images 

Jim,

In general the security issue with direct linking to files is that people can also get to those files directly, without going throug your site. Even if you set restrictions to the folder the files belong too. The DNN linkclick / fileservice ensures that the DNN security context is always used when serving files. Again.. for your purpose that might be ok
