Setting up exlude paths in Snapsis.PageBlaster.config

Dear John

First
I've a question about setting up the exclude paths... in the free Snapsis Pageblaster.
The following exclude paths are set in the Snapsis.PageBlaster.config file.

<excludePaths><path pattern="ctl=edit" excludeFrom="All"/><path pattern="\?(?!tabid)" excludeFrom="All"/><path pattern="rss" excludeFrom="All"/><path pattern="\.asxh" excludeFrom="All"/>excludePaths>

I've said you (by mail) that I've some problems with the filemanager. I can't see the subfolders when I've setup PageBlaster.
That means that I can’t upload files in a subfolder… I've not try something to fixed this yet...

I've seen also in the different post that a few people have problems with a few pages.
Like uploading .pdf files or using links...

I think that I can conclude, in the different answers that you've give, that the following excludePaths have to be set in the Snapsis.PageBlaster.config file:

<excludePaths><path pattern="ctl=edit" excludeFrom="All"/><path pattern="ctl.*?(edit|module)" excludeFrom="All"/><path pattern="\?(?!tabid)" excludeFrom="All"/><path pattern="rss" excludeFrom="All"/><path pattern="\.asxh" excludeFrom="All"/><path pattern="\.axd" excludeFrom="All"/><path pattern="\.PDF" excludeFrom="All"/><path pattern="LinkClick.aspx" excludeFrom="All"/>excludePaths>

Second
I'm wondering too if you've a workaround for the problems with the .pdf files. You've mentioned that it was because PageBlaster set a charset=UTF-8. And in the post http://www.snapsis.com/Support/SnapsisnbspSupport/tabid/601/forumid/9/tpage/1/view/Topic/postid/5234/Default.aspx  I've seen that you've made a new version that fixed this problem (Have I understand it correctly?) I'm using now version 2.1.2. Is this already fixed in version 2.1.2?

Dear John

Thanks for your quick response... and the easiest way that you can exclude all the necessary pages... I'm going to try this tomorrow (it's now 22.30 hours)
Yes John, I've problems in a site who have a lot of .pdf files to download and to show them in a Iframe. I've removed PageBlaster for that reason and I'm still looking now to fix this problem. I didn't know that it was perhaps PageBlaster...
I appreciate it very much if you want to send me that version where you've fixed this. I'm using now version 2.1.2 a version that you've send me a few weeks ago. You've my email?...
Thank you so much...

Dear John

Thanks for sending me the new version of pageblaster.
What did I see.
I've simple upload the new version in the bin folder and I've set the exclude pattern like you've said in the Snapsis.PageBlaster.config file.
pattern="\.axd|\.asxh|rss|LinkClick|FileManager|Cart|Install" excludeFrom="All".
I've checked also DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewrite" includePageName="true" in the config file (that was OK).
When I go to the dnn filemanager (host and admin) I can see the root and all the files in the root folder.
When I click to expand the root folder (filemanager in host and admin) to see the subfolders that don't work... The root folder won't expand. I can not see the subfolders.
I've removed pageblaster and then I see the subfolders with all the files in the subfolders.

What did I see also.
That the DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewrite" includePageName="true" don't eliminate all the spaces in the name.

The pagename 
for the filemanager of the host: http://.../Host/File%20Manager/tabid/19/portalid/0/Default.aspx
and for the filemanager of the admin: http://.../Admin/FileManager/tabid/46/Default.aspx

What do you suggest? What do you think?

You could try adding a space to the exclude for the File Manager.

Also, make sure that the PageBlaster entry in the HttpModules section of web.config is the first entry (before UrlRewriter).

If that doesn't work, then you can exclude them by tab ID with the following pattern.

<pathpattern="tabid[/|=]⎟|46]$"excludeFrom="All" />

Dear John

Thank you very much.
Problem solved for admin. Not for host...
I'm going to try to ad a space to the exclude for the File Manager now... I let you know...
