[Solved] change default font for MOSS Rad Editor

[gary]

Hi,

I am trying to find out how to change the default font and size. I am using the Rad Editor for MOSS. I have tried the following article http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-bkcehm.aspx

 but no luck it doesn't change the default font in my case.

I also cannot find file EditorContentArea.css which is mentioned in several articles. I also don't have a skins folder.

I only have the folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\5.2.0.0__1f131a624888eeed\Resources\

any help would be appreciated!

Hi George,

this help document describes how to add custom styles to the drop down menu, but what I want is to default the font and size when I OPEN the editor, I don't want to have to select the text and then select a custom style to format it, I need the user to start typing using the default font. I see how you can do it with the asp.net rad editor but cannot find out how to do this with the MOSS Rad Editor. Thanks..

Hi Gary,

In general, the document describes how to apply a custom styles to the editor's content area. So, what you have to do is to create the CssEditor.css and set the following styles in it: 

CssEditor.css
body
{
    font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma !important; 
    font-size: 10pt !important;
}

I hope this helps.

Hi,


Can I change the font style of the radEditor Contents programmatically without using CSS file?
Something like this: 

radEditor1.Font = (Arial)

Thanks,
Dha

Hi Dharyl,

You can use javascript to set the Default font of the Editor.
1. In the Respective ConfigFile.xml located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\5.3.2.0__1f131a624888eeed\Resources folder (5.3.2.0__1f131a624888eeed depends on the control version) add the following line.

<property name="OnClientLoad">OnClientLoad</property>

2. Add the OnclientLoad function implementation.

function OnClientLoad(editor, args)
   {
      var style = editor.get_contentArea().style;
      style.fontFamily= "Arial";
      style.fontSize= 15 + "px";
   }

I hope this helps.

Hi,


Ah ok.

I have another question. I removed the Bold, Italic and Underline tools using these options:

1)
<Tools> 
<telerik:EditorToolGroup> 

//from here

 

</telerik:EditorToolGroup> 

 

</Tools> 

2)
Using OnClientLoad function.


The buttons are removed but there is something left.  i think it is the container of the buttons. How do i remove it?

Thanks!

Hi Dharyl,

Could you please provide us with a couple of screen shots, so we will get better idea of the problem. You can not upload files in this forum, so you could open a support ticket and upload the files there, or upload the files in any convenient location and just give us url from where we can download them.

Thank you.


Sincerely yours,
