Roles and the Photo Album functionality

Hi Imar,

I noticed that NewPhotoAlbum.aspx and ManagePhotoAlbum.aspx are created in the root directory.

Indeed; good observation ;-)

So sorry...I accidently posted the question before it was completed.

My apologies.

But what is the question?

I was wondering why NewPhotoAlbum.aspx and ManagePhotoAlbum.aspx are created in the root directory.

Would it be good design to move these 2 pages the PhotoAlbum folder? I was thinking that a user might want to create a role that would give only users that have been assigned to this role access to the Photo functionality.

Thank You.

Yes, you can certainly do that, and it would make it easier to protect all related files at once by configuring permissions for the folder rather than for individual files. Just realize that if you'd do that now, viewing an existing album requires the same permissions as creating a new album, as all of them live in the same folder.

For the PlaneWrox site I didn't put them in a folder. Could have done so, want saved the few extra steps of creating the folder.

Cheers,

Imar
