We're building a website for a client, which runs a franchise concept. All franchise members get their own website within the Umbraco solution, which gives them their own dedicated website, along with their own media folder. We use the build in functions "Start node in content" and "Start node in media library" for that.
Our client now wants to be able to have a shared media folder, where they can upload images that can be used by all franchises. Only the admin user should be able to upload to the folder, while all the franchies should be able to "read" / insert the images on their own websites.
How do we accomplish that with Umbraco 7? This must be a common scenario.
My initial thought was to create a new class, which inherited from Umbracos own MediaTreeController and update the class name in trees.config. Media tree view was still working, but broke media show.
We've previously made this work in Umbraco 6 by extending from loadMedia, and copy some of the internal source from Umbraco to our own solution.
We're open to multiple solutions. Multiple "start content from" would also be acceptable, even though we prefer read only access to the shared media.
