Uninstalling RadEditor

In order to uninstall RadEditor for MOSS you need to first perform the following preliminary tasks. Note that these tasks are needed ONLY if you do not plan to upgrade to a newer version of RadEditor for MOSS (e.g. you wish to use only the default MOSS editor again):

  1. Revert to the default rich-text editor in Web Content Management scenario (do the reverse actions of the ones described in Using RadEditor in Web Content Management scenario).

  2. Open the page(s) in which you have used RadEditor for MOSS.

  3. Replace the RadEditor tags (telerik:RadHtmlField) with the default editor tags:

    XML

    <PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField runat="server" id="Content" FieldName="..." />

    XML

    <%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.SharePoint.FieldEditor" Assembly="RadEditorSharePoint, Version=x.x.x.x, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1f131a624888eeed" %>
    
  5. Replace all instances of the RadEditor Web Part with the default rich-text editor Web Part:

    3. Delete this RadEditor Web Part

    4. lace a default rich-text editor Web Part on its place
