Hi!

I noticed in your code sample that you are supplying the enum value "ForceCurrentVersion" instead of "Publish" when saving with the additional AccessLevel parameter. Might this be the cause of your problem? If you want to force the current version you should bitwise add these two enum values.

Hi Linus,

Hm, I don't think so, or I'm not sure, I'll try something then. But first of all, is it possible for an end user without login to create a page?

Hi,

You can't do a ForceCurrentVersion on a new page(learned that the hard way  ;-)), you have to handle that yourself.
And you have to use ForeCurrentVersion with for instance Publish.

And you can create a new page without being logged in.

Thank you guys, it works now. Darn it, how obvious (:  I was slow -.-'

D'oh, A follow-up question to this thread.

Now I need the end user to upload a photo together with the page he created, and I got an error says Not authorized to access /pagefiles/blablabla

Anywho, is it possible for an none logged-in user to upload a pic together with the page he's going to create? if so, how?

Hi,
you need to do a ByPassAccessCheck on the VPP when uploading files from an anonymous user.

Sorry for the spam, I still got problem with this. I did 'pageRootDirectory.BypassAccessCheck = true;' it seemed to be ok, then problems come to the Upload file function,  which calls a 'GetUnifiedDirectory' to get the directory, the problem happens to this line

'UnifiedDirectory directory = HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider.GetDirectory(path) as UnifiedDirectory;' it says not authorized.

The whole process looks like this :

string virtualPathFromFolderId = VirtualPathUtilityEx.Combine(pageDirectoryRootVirtualPath, VirtualPathUtility.AppendTrailingSlash(folderId.ToString()));
                 
UnifiedDirectory pageDirectory = HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider.GetDirectory(virtualPathFromFolderId) as UnifiedDirectory;


if (pageDirectory == null)
                        {
                            pageRootDirectory.BypassAccessCheck = true;                
pageDirectory = pageRootDirectory.CreateSubdirectory(folderId.ToString(), myPage);
                        }


UploadFile(uploadFile.FileContent, uploadFile.FileName, virtualPathFromFolderId);


protected void UploadFile(Stream fileContent, string filePath, string destination)
        {
            UnifiedDirectory dir = GetUnifiedDirectory(destination);
            UnifiedFile uFile = dir.CreateFile(filePath);
            Stream s = uFile.Open(FileMode.CreateNew);
            StreamConsumer.CopyToEnd(fileContent, s);
            s.Close();
            fileContent.Close();
        }

protected UnifiedDirectory GetUnifiedDirectory(string path)
        {
            UnifiedDirectory directory = HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider.GetDirectory(path) as UnifiedDirectory;
            if (directory == null)
                throw new ArgumentException("Given path is not a Unified Directory");
            return directory;
        }

  Any1 can see what my problem is?

Many thx!

Are you sure that the user running your IIS/Worker thread has change acces to the VPP?
If it's 2003 server that user is probably "Network Service"

//Morten

It's is actually 2003, does it mean I have to actually change the vpp folder's property? We have other EPiServer sites as well.

The code works when I logged in as an EPiServer user, it does everything correctly, it only break when I do it anonymously.

So, do u suggest me to change the VPP folder property? I really dont want to do that tho >.<

Hi you all!

I'm having a strange problem when programatically creating a page as anonymous user. As I save the page with the following line:
DataFactory.Instance.Save(newPage, EPiServer.DataAccess.SaveAction.Publish, EPiServer.Security.AccessLevel.NoAccess);
I get an error saying: Procedure or function 'netPageCreate' expects parameter '@UserName', which was not supplied.

The code i use works flawless on another site. Any ideas? I'm using EPi CMS 5.2.375.133.

Nevermind, found a solution. Had to add the following lines to OnCreatingPage-event in Global.asax:

if (!EPiServer.Security.PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
                EPiServer.Security.PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal = EPiServer.Security.PrincipalInfo.AnonymousPrincipal;
