[Solved] Calling filters as required from JavaScript.

[Frank Witte]

How can I allow-disallow certain filters (including custom filter) to work or not to work while getting HTML content and design content?

Basically while doing get_html to get html for saving I want to execute following filter

1.      My Custom Filter1

2.      OptimizeSpans

3.      ConvertToXhtml

4.      IECleanAnchors

And while switching to html mode by my custom tool using set_mode command I want to execute only IndentHTMLContent filter.

 

How can I achieve this? Is there any way to execute the filters, changes the sequence in which filter executes and all from JavaScript?

Hello Frank,

I just answered your identical support ticket on the subject. Please, do not post identical questions in the forums and in the ticketing system.

The code below demonstrates how to get a reference to a client-side content filter of RadEditor, disable it before getting the content via the editor.get_html(true) method and enable the filter after that:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server">
    <Content><i>test</i><br /><i>test</i></Content>
</telerik:RadEditor>
<input type="button" value="Get Content" onclick="GetHtmlContent()" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function GetHtmlContent()
{
   var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>"); //get a reference to RadEditor client object
   var filter = editor._filtersManager.getFilterByName("IndentHTMLContentFilter")
   filter.Enabled = false;
   var content = editor.get_html(true);
   filter.Enabled = true;
   alert(content);
}
</script>

Hi Frank,

Please, replace the Enabled property with set_enabled(true|false), because the Enabled property is used for backward compatibility with the classic RadEditor. In ASP.NET AJAX the specification requires to use getters and setters methods instead of properties, e.g.

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server">
    <Content><i>test</i><br /><i>test</i></Content>
</telerik:RadEditor>
<input type="button" value="Get Content" onclick="GetHtmlContent()" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function GetHtmlContent()
{
   var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>"); //get a reference to RadEditor client object
   var filter = editor._filtersManager.getFilterByName("IndentHTMLContentFilter")
   filter.set_enabled(false);
   var content = editor.get_html(true);
   filter.set_enabled(true);
   alert(content);
}
</script>
