Data Folders
- Less than a minute to read
The Design Editor creates a separate subfolder for each user whose identifier it has ever been initialized with. The path to the folder where all these subfolders are stored is set up by using the UserDataFolder
parameter in AppSettings.config. The default value is "..\\userdata"
, which means that all user subfolders are stored in the userdata folder located one level higher than the web application root. Each user subfolder contains the following:
- ..\userdata\<someUserId>\states\ - the folder contains products created by someUserId user.
- ..\userdata\<someUserId>\images\ - the folder contains images uploaded by someUserId user.
The default
user identifier and the folder path where user data is stored are set via the DefaultUserId
and UserDataFolder
parameters in AppSettings.config as follows:
<appSettings>
...
<add key="DefaultUserId" value="default" />
<add key="UserDataFolder" value="..\userdata" />
...
</appSettings>
The UserDataFolder
path is relative to the web application root.
