I am evaluating DMX with the 30 day trial and so far it is looking great. I have configured the flexible root pattern so that it auto creates a folder using this token: [User:Username] and it is creating the folder correctly so that is good too. However, ideally I would like it to: auto create a folder for the user with VIEW permissions for the user only and then auto create a subfolder called 'Uploads' with ADD permissions. So each user ends up with a structure like [user] --> [Uploads] I suspect I can't use flexible root pattern to achieve this but is there another straightforward configuration I could look at? Thanks Mike

Hi Mike, You can define the pattern to include a subfolder and it will attempt to create this. The settings to add XYZ permissions only concern the last folder in the chain (in this case "Upload"). What is not possible is to tune the permissions on the parent folder of this (the Username one) to include the view permission. I can't see an easy way out unless there is some 2 stage process where the user first lands on a page which creates the username folder and then a second page where the subfolder is created. Best, Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
