Form attachments - best practice advice


#1

Hey Guys,

 

I have a form  using the file upload question.

 

I was just wondering is the best options are for preventing indexing of the contents.

 

Just to take the web paths off the folder in which your storing the form attachments?

 

Public will need read permission to save to the folder but I don't want the items index-able at all.

 

cheers

No, the Public User does not need read permissions to the Create Location folder.

 

Also, the uploaded files will be created as Under Construction, so will not be able to be searchable by a public user.

 

But, if you want to make sure that the Create Location and children don't get indexed, go to the Search Manager, then Asset Tree Weights, and configure that root node and turn indexing off.

sweet - thanks so much for your time Nic! I always though that read was required. I'll share that with the team.

 

I took the web paths off anyways as well
