How to control frontend user to access to assets folders

I'm trying to make my first Modx Revo with the membership login. What I want to achieve is

1. allow user to create new resources,
2. be able to edit their owns
3. access to specific assets folders only (which relate to that resource only)

- I use Newspublisher & Articles to get the 1st and 2nd jobs done.
- I use FileUpload to allow user crate and upload images to the folder with the same id with resource.
- I use FileLister to retrieve those files form the upload folder.

One last thing is that I want the user to be able to delete the file that they uploaded in that folder (not someone else). How can I do this? I've tried to setup Media Source: Filesystem with



but didn't work.

I try where 89 is the folder name (which will be relate to the resource id 89), this works fine. I still can't figure it out that how can I retrieve resource id dynamically.

You might be able to create a user setting for each user (call it directory), then use one of these:


or


I don't think it will work, but it's worth a try.

Another option might be to create a user setting for default_media_source.

Thank you Bob,

I tried that but still no luck.

My assumption is setting tags doesn't work here. when I change

to

I can't access to that folder any more.

I'm trying a new approach by following your instruction in the book page 225, but still can't get it right. Any suggestion?

@SELECT or @EVAL?

What are you putting in the TV?

Like I said, I'm new here. I don't know how to use @SELECT or @EVAL yet.

I'm trying with @DIRECTORY

1st Try

Result: Not Good, Still see other folders.

2nd Try

Result: Better, can't see other folders but not practical if there are many choices.

3rd Try

Result: Don't see any result at all

Your second try is the only thing that will work, though you could use an output type of default or text and get a list of the filenames if that would be better.

It is possible to create a custom TV type, but it's not simple (and I've never tried it).

You might also take a look at the MigX package. Which might let you use @DIRECTORY in interesting ways.

Thank you Bob. It's like you're working full time here, really appreciate your help.

Sometimes it feels like it (except for the getting paid part).
