Hi,

While configuring active social I noticed a couple of issues with file management
1. when I add a file, which name is already there, the file is added with a counter (1, ...) added to the filename
2. when I delete a file, the file is not deleted from the file system
3. group rights are not propagated to the file system, that is, I would expect view and upload permissions for groupmembers would have been set and visible e.g. in the file manager.


one other thing, when deleting a comment or file, the JS is throwing an error and does not refresh the page

(dnn495, AS171)

That is correct. This ensures that other users do not overwrite other files.


Correct also, but we understand not desired by all. We plan to add some additional options in an upcoming release.


Since the preferred and most configuration for Active Social is to not use roles, we then have no way to manage the dnn file system. Also keep in mind that we need to be able to support multiple storage locations (file system, database and cloud). DotNetNuke does not currently support this.


This will be resolved with AS 1.7.2

Personally, I would prefer a (group) setting for issue 1, e.g. allow file replacement yes/no. And have a warning/conformation if a file is uploaded that with the same name. In this case you give the system user more flexibility. I understand that my particular use of AS is more a let say 'sharepoint like'.

Do you foresee problems if I add security settings by hand (give groupuser roles and groupadmin roles) appropriate view and edit rights?

This would be a good enhancement request.


I don't think there will be any problems since those permissions aren't actual file permissions.
