DNN 5 RadEditorProvider

Updated Wiki: Home

cnurse — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:04:40 GMT

Note: This provider has been incorporated into the core distribution of DotNetNuke. As a result active development on this project has moved to dotnetnuke.codeplex.com.

The dnnWerk RadEditor Provider is a simplified RichText Editor Provider for Teleriks RadEditor in DNN 5. While it loads faster than the provider that is shipped with DNN it also adds flexibility and an easy to maintain configuration interface. All configuration and setup is done through the provided configuration module.

Why another provider for the RadEditor?

The goal of the dnnWerk provider was to make use of the many capabilities that come with the RadEditor. That's why we have implemented a content provider that handles the file selection dialogs and got rid of all the code that checks for file / folder permissions each time the editor loads. The provider gives you an easy UI where you can control toolbars and other configuration aspects. Based on the original provider that used to be shipped with the editor by Telerik we also implemented an easy way to have dedicated configuration sets per user role, portal and even portal tab.

New!

DMX Integration. The editor can now show a DMX tree by installing the DMX add-on.
See the documentation for full details how this works.

So, what's in exactly?

All toolbar configuraton done through toolbar config, no permission checks on editor load
content provider to handle the explorer like file selection dialog. All permission checks are done here on dialog load
ability to set start folders for each file selection dialog (images, documents, media, templates, etc...)
UI module to configure the editor (configuration and toolbars)
UI module to switch providers (edits the web.config)
ability to edit the paragraphs dropdownlist directly from with the config module
ability to load a css file for the editor from your skin directory - easy WYSIWYG!
bypasses handler configuration in the web.config by providing the corresponding files
overrides default css styles that would break the editor UI
ability to have dedicated configurations per user role. You may have a configuration for hosts, admins, users and guests. Each of them may also be portal or tab specific.
ability to link text directly to portal pages without the need of opening a dialog

What DNN version do I need?

The provider has been built against DNN 5.2.3, so all releases from there should be OK.

How does it work?

Installing the provider is as easy as with any other module. Simply upload through the extension upload wizard in DNN. the learn more, read the documentation found here:

http://radeditor.codeplex.com/documentation

And what's next?

We have a few things in mind that would make the provider even more powerful:

Dropdownlist with tokens that can then be added to a HTML content
Automatically open images in a Fancybox style popup

New Post: RadEditor + ConvertInlineStylesToAttributes not working properly

NTX_Sara — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:03:52 GMT

Hi

We are using dnn 6.1.2. and the built in RadEditorProvider.
We have one page with a Newsletter-Module and in the html-settings we enabled the filter "ConvertInlineStylesToAttributes".

If i insert an image with the style "align:left" i get the following result:

<img src="Portals/0/Images/about-person2.jpg" align="left">

this would be ok about the alignment, but the image size is missing at all.

If i go back to the imagesettings and change the width and height the code now looks like this:

<img style="width: 120px; height: 140px;" src="Portals/0/Images/about-person2.jpg" align="left">

Since ConvertInlineStylesToAttributes is enabled, the image size should actually also change into width="120px" height="140px". Or am i missing something?

Can someone help me with this issue? A missing image size inside the img-tag is a bit of a problem for a newsletter-template.

Thanks in advance.

Sara

Updated Wiki: DMXIntegration

donker — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 11:15:13 GMT

Document Exchange (DMX) is the premier document management solution for the DotNetNuke® platform. It has found its way on intra- and extranets across the globe and in all industries.

Visit Bring2Mind.Net to learn more about DMX. The DocumentManager dialog in the RadEditor can now be configured to browse a given tree in your DMX file store. Integration is pretty simple:

Make sure you have DMX installed and configured. You will need version 05.02.11 at least
Make sure you have the RadEditor provider from here installed. You will need at least version 01.01.01
Download the Bring2mind.DNN.Modules.DMX.RadEditorContentProvider package from here:
http://radeditor.codeplex.com/releases/view/52508
Install the package through the extension manager in your DNN
Go to the RadEditor Config module and enable the DMX integration (set DMXIntegration to True)
In the Toolsfile add a new button as follows: <tool name="DMXManager" />
In the config set DMXPath to "/". This lets the file browser start at the root of your DMX collection. Alternatively you can set to any other path relative to the root (e.g. "/Documents")

Now start an editor and notice the new DMX button, the dialog should present you with content from your DMX.

DotNetNuke 6.0.x

As the RadEditor is in DNN 6 you don't need to install this. You can, however, still use the DMX integration. So the procedure becomes:

Make sure you have DMX installed and configured. You will need version 05.02.11 at least (check the version dependency in the release notes of the component!)
Download the Bring2mind.DNN.Modules.DMX.RadEditorContentProvider package from this project (check the downloads list to see which is the latest)
Install the package through the extension manager in your DNN
Go to the RadEditor Config and enable the DMX integration (set DMXIntegration to True)
In the Toolsfile add a new button as follows: <tool name="DMXManager" />
In the config set DMXPath to "/". This lets the file browser start at the root of your DMX collection. Alternatively you can set to any other path relative to the root (e.g. "/Documents")

About nr 2: as we keep the default download stuck to the last version of the RadEditorProvider, the default download page may be out of sync with the last DMX integration component. You really need to check the list of downloads.

Anytime I insert a table, it's getting the "width: 0px" problem. Did you ever find a solution? This is destroying the layout in many browsers.

Created Issue: Images/Document Manager not upholding "secure - File System" folders [1168]

YOOOEE — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:57:00 GMT

I'm not exactly sure if this is a DotNetNuke issue or a RadEditor issue, but I thought I would mention the problem here.

When creating a new "secure - File System" folder through the DotNetNuke FileManager, any files I place within that folder are accessible via the RadEditor. This is to be expected, but the RadEditor does not indicate that the folder or its contents are secure. Additionally, when using the RadEditor to link to a file that is in the secure folder, the link will does not appear to as the contents will never be served to the user.

I believe this used to be handled with the LinkClick functionality in the past.

New Post: Creating configurations for custom roles

yoooee — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:45:34 GMT

I have to agree with shebang and djamell. In fact, I was under the impression that the provider would allow me to set specific configurations per any role created, not just the ones listed in the examples. I assume this is not the case.

New Post: Private User folders

jmathis — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 05:49:40 GMT

I see how I can configure a common folder that all users can upload to.

However, I'd like to setup a configuration such that each user has the ability to upload to their own private folder.

It almost looks like the "Paths" setting was intended to do this. For example, if you are logged in as UserID=1, you can choose "Users/001/01/01" which is the private user folder for UserId=1. However, that path is hardcoded in the configuration, so it isn't dynamic such that it changes for each user.

Is there any way to set it up like this? It seems like the Paths option should be "Users/[UserID]" and the [UserID] token gets replaced at run time with the current users UserID.
