I've been using the Bring2mind.DNN.Modules.DMX.Common.Paths.GetMappedPath call to get the files system paths of various folders that DMX uses and I thought it was working well. However I recently moved my DMX root folder from the default locations to a UNC path and GetMappedPath is still returning the default locations. I've switched to using Settings.PortalSettings.FileDirectory instead of GetMappedPath(PathType.DMXRoot) to get the DMX root folder. I'm not sure if this is the desired behavior of GetMappedPath or not, but I thought I would document my work around for anyone else that's not using the default root folder.

Hi Allan, In fact DMXRoot should not be used. I've just run through the code and it is an appendix. Just hanging there without any references. It looks like it was first programmed in, but then later the above became clear, it was never used. The other ones (Upload, Lucene, Log, NotificationTemplates, TemporaryFiles) are valid though and used extensively. 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.
