Hi Fabrice,

The new release of r.a.d.controls for SharePoint (including r.a.d.editor as well as r.a.d.menu/r.a.d.tabstrip/r.a.d.panelbar/r.a.d.treeview navigation WebParts) will be out in the beginning of next week.

Thank you for your patience.

Kind regards,

Hi Andrew,

Unfortunately, it is still in beta. We are polishing the final minor things on the distribution and the official version will be available within a couple of days.

We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

All the best,

Not to jump on the pile, but is there a release date on this?  I'm having an issue with the beta and would rather just start fresh with the release.

hi

I might be doing something wrong but I'm unable to test this release candidate due to licensing problems.  Do you have a license I can use so that I can test this using a url other than localhost.  I need to test it using Safari/Firefox etc which I cannot do with the localhost restrictions.  The control points me to www.sharepointcontrols.com/faq which does not seem to exist.  When I go to my client.net area I cannot seem to request a licence for this version.

Regards
Andy

Hello Andrew,

If trial keys are needed to test r.a.d.editor SharePoint Edition on a URL other than http://localhost, the telerik support team can supply you with such upon request to betasupport@telerik.com. Please, mention the URL and the domain/intranet name where the product will be tested.

Kind regards,

Hello fabrice,

Please excuse us for misleading you about the release date before.

The beta version generated some bug reports and we wanted to fix all of them to ensure a smooth release. Every time we thought we are ready for a release, a new bug was reported which caused us to postpone the release date.

I hope you understand the reasons why we preferred a bug-free release rather than patching later. I can assure you that the new version is ready and will go live by the end of the week.
 

Sincerely yours,

Hi

I finally got round to testing the release candidate and have noticed the following...
On IE 6 everything works perfectly.
Firefox on Windows, Firefox on Mac and Safari on Mac all exhibit the following issue (the browser version does not seem to make a difference):
The first time font formatting (such as bold, italic etc.) is applied using the editor html tags such as <b> are used.  Applying a second set of formatting (maybe underlining another word in the text) causes SPAN tags to be used.  Any subsequent formatting also uses the SPAN tags.  (On IE 6 span tags never seem to be used, although the <strong> tag is used instead of <b>.

The effect of this is that the editor as a webpart functions perfectly on all browsers.  However, using the editor as a replacement for the native sharepoint list entry means that any formatting contained in the SPAN tags is lost.

The behaviour in tags was observed by entering text into the editor, using the buttons, and then switching to html code view within the editor.

Hi Andrew,

The issue you describe is caused by a combination of two things - browser HTML engine differences and SharePoint List item content stripping.

As you have noticed, Firefox and Safari render bold text using <span> tags while IE 6 uses <strong>. When SharePoint saves list item contents to the database, it removes <span> tags, but leaves <strong> intact.

We are working on circumventing the browser rendering differences and this issue should be fixed in the next release.

All the best,
