We have RadEditor for MOSS v 5.2.2 installed on our server. When our content authors use the RadEditor webpart and place pictures or document links into the webpart it saves them with a absolute URL rather than a relative URL. This of course causes the links to be broken when the content is migrated from Dev to Test and/or Prod. Is there something they should be doing differently or is this a known bug? I found similar issues discussed but was not sure they were exactly the same. Please advise.
Thank You!!!

Hi Tammy,
I experienced the same issue, but once I upgraded the RadEditor for MOSS with the RadEditorMoss_5_3_0 everything worked fine: all the links were relative. If this does not help, I can suggest you to turn of the RadEditor’s MakeUrlsAbsolute content filter. This can be done by modifying ToolsFile.xml or ConfigFile.xml file in
/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/web server extensions/wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/5.2.3.0__1f131a624888eeed/Resources/ folder
(5.2.3.0__1f131a624888eeed depends on your RadEditor version).

We upgraded to 5.3 and are still having the same problem. I modified the config.xml (see below) but it did
not make a difference. Any other suggestions?

Hello Tammy,
You should use LinkManager and ImageManager dialogues that come with the RadEditor to import links and images with relative path.
In order to enable them you need to modify the ToolsFile.xml which is located in the following folder:
/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/web server extensions/wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/5.3.0.0__1f131a624888eeed/Resources/
Just add these lines
in the root node.

The HTML link manager does not allow the content managers to browse Moss to find
the pages/images/documents they want to link to.
Is there no way to fix the problem with the MossLinkManager inserting absolute url's?

Hello Tammy,
You can solve this problem by creating your own content filter.
1. You should use the OnClientLoad property of the RadEditor to attach a handler. To do this you should add the following line in the ConfigFile.xml
2. You can use MOSSEditorTools.js to add custom java script code to RadEditor. There you should define the OnClientLoad handler and your custom content filter.
Here is an example that you may find useful:
Just add this code at the end of MOSSEditorTools.js .
Once you follow these steps, the absolute part of the URL should be stripped.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely yours,

Hello Telerik team,
First of all I really appreciate your quick response.
Questions:
How to set the stripabsoluteanchorpath or stripabsoluteimagepath properties to false in config file so that it wont strip the absolute path making a relative path on content save. Issue I am facing is even after change the both the properties to false in my config file their fucntionality is not changing on the client side. Is there any compilatio needed or anything else need to be changed along with the config file changes?
I am using 7.1.3 and 7.0.2 versions of Rad editor. I deployed the rad editor stuff with MCMS 2002 not MOSS.
Thanks,
Varun

Hello varun,
What you need to do is set the StripAbsoluteAnchorPaths and StripAbsoluteImagesPaths properties to false.
Also you should know that the ConfigFile property does not have a default value set. This means that you must point the ConfigFile property to the configuration file that you intend to use.
For example: ConfigFile="~/RadControls/Editor/ConfigFile.xml"

Hello everyone,
This is all very interesting information. Unfortunately, I'm reading it a bit too late, I'm afraid.
Our configuration-files have not been modified, leaving us now with hundreds of absolute links within our SharePoint-site.
Is there a way to automatically overwrite all these links and turning them back to relative url's?
I suppose that the solutions described above, will only be helpful for the links you create afterwards and will not modify already created links?
I hope I'm wrong ;-)
Greetings

Hello Jan Goesaert,
Unfortunately RadEditor for MOSS does not have functionality, which will help you in replacing the absolute part of all the urls automatically. What you can do is to create the content filter and edit and save each item created with RadEditor.
