The plan has been to implement the Cute Editor from Cutesoft all along. I just hadn't had time to get it done. I made the purchase a few months ago and have been working on customizing the provider to do some pretty cool things. So here is what I've accomplish so far.
First shot, nothing special here.. Just the editor in DNN:
Ahhh.. Here is where the magic starts... I modified the provider to open the image gallery into the web space I provide for paying members. There's a virtual directory off the root that's pointed to the directory structure outside of DNN where each member has their own folder. The provider now uses their username to map their space to their folder in this directory. Based on their role membership, the users either get a basic editor with few features, a feature rich bar with gallery and image buttons.
The image dialog box also maps to the user's directory. I was able to enforce their normal disk space limits by setting a securty config file for each role that had different space limits.
I'm in final testing and will be releasing it on a limited basis in one or two forums for a week or so. If all goes well, I'll turn it loose on the whole site.
