Using Filesystem for Picture types

yahya

Being searching the forum, the AwareIM user guides and the AwareIM youtube channel for any kind of tutorial on how to utilise the Filesystem for Picture types.

The current posts that refer to the picture management by filesystem rather than database are more troubleshooting that tutorials.

So when using a Picture in the FileSystem instead of the Database. One needs to know that you have the Picture attribute and then you have the FilePath (Plain Text Attribute), the FilePath attribute needs to contain the whole path aswell as the picture name.

But now why would I be getting this error:

Internal system errorTransaction exception Unable to write document into file system. Exception message C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\webapps\AwareIM\Custom\Images\Library (Access is denied). File path C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\webapps\AwareIM\Custom\Images\Library may be invalid

In terms of that error, initial value.

So I removed what I had in the initial value and created a rule and all is working now.
