[Solved] Cannot install

[Paul Cleghorn]

Hi
I have tried in vain to install the demo version for evaluation within sharepoint but have got no where.
I I follow the instructions about replacing the standard text editor with the telerik one, I loose both. Just as well I made a copy of the  config xml file.
How the hell does one install this editor...More help require I think telerik.

Hello Paul,

We apologize for the inconvenience r.a.d.editor SharePoint Edition has caused to you. Indeed the installation procedure is not straightforward and we intend to make it easier in the future via some sort of installer.

Here are, in short, the steps you need to install r.a.d.editor SharePoint edition:

1. Extract RadWebParts.cab from the RadWebParts_2_0_Trial.zip file you've downloaded (e.g. in c:\temp)
2. Run stsadm.exe from command prompt to install the cab file. By default stsadm.exe is located in c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\BIN. The command parameters depend on the way you want to deploy r.a.d.editor SharePoint Edition.
1. If you want to deploy in the Global Assembly Cache you should use the following syntax:
   
   

   stsadm -o addwppack -force -url <server_url> -globalinstall -filename <path_to_package_file>

   
   If your server's name is "spserver" and you've extracted RadWebParts.cab in c:\temp use the following:
   

   stsadm -o addwppack -force -url http://spserver -globalinstall -filename c:\temp\RadWebParts.cab

2. If you want to deploy in the bin folder of your sharepoint site you should run this command:
   
   

   stsadm -o addwppack -force -url <server_url> -filename <path_to_package_file>

   
   We recommend deploying in GAC since it saves some time configuring permissions.
3. If stsadm is successful you should be able to use RadEditorWebPart - click add webparts, browse the "Virtual Server Gallery" and drag a new r.a.d.editor webpart.

To replace the default rich text editor you need to perform a few more steps:

1. Extract ows_patch.js from RadWebParts_2_0_Trial.zip
2. Open it with a text editor e.g. notepad.exe
3. Open C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\ows. in another text editor
4. Copy all the contents of ows_patch.js at the end of ows.js
5. Delete the temporary internet files of your browser to avoid caching errors.

Could you describe to us at which point the installation procedure failed on your side? Any screenshots would be very helpful.

Looking forward to your reply,

Where is the .zip file mentioned below?  Or better yet, just the ows_patch.js file needed to make radeditor the default sharepoint editor?

Thanks

Hi Bob,

This post is about the SPS 2003 version of RadEditor. We no longer offer that - it has been replaced with the RadEditor for MOSS 2007.
