Automatically cleanup placeholder content after resource gallery items have been deleted

Hi Stefan,

I have this problem while adding a posting. The page has an attachment, this attachment is browsed for - a local resource. When saving the page, we get the same error.

Do you have any ideas?

This cannot be the same problem.
Does the page save if this attachment is not added?

Thank you for your quick answer. We have checked, it seems that the user did not have rights on certain templates. An unexpected situation, because last week she had no problems at all and we are the only ones touching the site manager. Regranting rights solved our problem, now everything works fine again.

We have expirienced a similar problem:

If a uses an image from the resource gallery, and the image is deleted from the resource gallery, it is moved to an archived folder outside the normal channel/resource tree.
Thus only administrators have access rights - the posting (or rather, the image) can not even be viewed by anyone else, because they can not be subscribers.

Exactly this is covered with the code above.

Hi Stefan,

When I try to use this code in my global.asax I get errors on the last portion of the code beginning with case "Src" (Invalid expression 'case'). Trying to correct it but I'm having difficulty getting around the errors.

Also noticed one typo in 'case "Html"' where 'ropValue' might need to be 'propValue'.

Thanks!

Hi Rick,

you are right, there have been two typos: a brace "{" was missing and ropValue needed to be propValue.

The code above is now correct.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I have been testing this on my Test Server and have run into an error during a page Save while in Edit mode:

***Save Placeholder Failed***
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

I commented out your code and the Save works. I'll let you know if I find the cause. I do have other custom events in my app so it may be a conflict of some sort.

I too get the same problem as RickG, in that I get the "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".

Anyone found out why this is yet, and a solution?
