Hi all,

I've a Template with an ImagePlaceholder.

When I create a Posting based on that template, and I select an image from
resource gallery.... if then I delete the resource from the gallery (using
resource manager or site manager), the posting still correctly shows the
image.

So, the question is:
how is this possible?

I've another Template with a custom placeholder (based on xmlplaceholder),
that stores in the xml the "Cms Guid" of resources (selected from the
resource gallery)... and so, it shows the resources in presentation mode
(like an images gallery).

In this case, if I delete the resources using resource manager (or site
manager), obviously I cannot render them (because I refer to the resource
using its Guid).

How can I implement a behavior like the ImagePlaceholder one (but also
AttachmentPlaceholder, HtmlPlaceholder when text links to resources...)?

Thank you so much.

Bye

Hi Stefano,

the item is still in the database - only marked as deleted.
As long as you try to browse the posting as an MCMS administrator you will
see the item. But as a subscriber you will not see it.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Stefan,

thanks a lot for the links.

If there is no way to understand if the resource is used in postings...
...so, the moral for a resource manager is: "Never delete a non-well-known
resource from the resource gallery. It could be used...! "

Is it right?

Thanks again.

Stefan,

another question... resources are linked to "resource gallery", so it is
possible to evaluate the rights and authorization.

What about "local resources"? I mean... the resources directly uploaded to
the server, when needed (so, not included in resource galleries).

Are "local resources" directly linked to the posting? How are they stored
internally?

And.. last... how can I create my own custom placeholder that allows the use
of "local resources"?

Thank you so much

Bye

Hi Stefano,

not completly. Here is a tool to check if the resource is used:

Hi Stefano,

all resources are stored similar. The difference is that the resource
gallery items have a reference to the resource gallery while the local
attachments do not.

Here is the information about how to use the dialogs in your placeholder
controls:

Hi Stefan,

it could be a solution. Maybe you're using "AuthenticateAsCurrentUser"
method to authenticate against MCMS... right?

If so, the client that run this tool has to be logged as a MCMS account
(with privileges to enumerate resources). Right?

Can you provide me the source code of that tool? I could try to customize it
to better satisfy my needs.

Thanks!

Stefan,

how does this tool determine when a resource is used?

Can you specify me the cases, please? (for example, when the resource is
linked in htmlplaceholder, xmlplaceholder, etc. etc.)

Thank you so much!
