[Solved] Editor in ShowModalDialog

[Nikolaj Rasmussen]

Hey

If the RADEditor is shown in a form, which is opened by IE's showModalDialog it results in that the image manager doesn't work (ex. insert image does nothing).

I've been told earlier that...

     reDescription.DialogParameters.Clear();
     ParameterCollection imageArguments = new ParameterCollection();
     imageArguments.Add(new Parameter("ThumbSuffix", reDescription.ThumbSuffix));
     imageArguments.Add(new Parameter("MaxImageSize", reDescription.MaxImageSize.ToString()));
     imageArguments.Add(new Parameter("AllowThumbGeneration",   reDescription.AllowThumbGeneration.ToString()));
     reDescription.DialogParameters.Add("SharePoint/ImageManager", imageArguments);

...was necessary to get the image manager to work on a aspx-page, which works perfectly when i visit the page like normal.
But when the page is shown through a showModalDialog the imagemanager throws a javascript-exception.

Hi Nikolaj,

We were able to reproduce the problem on our side. This appears to be problem in r.a.d.editor which we shall try to resolve in our next release (due next month).

Till then you can try using window.open instead.

We apologize for not being able to provide an immediate solution and hope this is not a showstopper for you.

Have a nice day,

Hey, Albert.
I just saw that the imagemanger still doesn't work within a showModalDialog with the latest radeditor (5.6.0.0).

Any progress?

Hi Nikolaj,

Please excuse us for the delay. Our team is currently working on this issue and we believe that we found the problem.
You will need to edit the \RadControls\Editor\Scripts\5_6_0\RadEditor.js file (don't forget to backup first). Open it and replace

dialogArguments
with
dialogArgs

Note: If you still experience problems, please clear your browser and .Net caches and try again.

The fix will be included in the next version of the control.

The solution I was looking for... great.

5_6_2 has the same problem. The replacing of dialogArguments did the trick.

Hello Bharath,

My suggestion is to execute the onParentNodeChaged method of RadEditor after opening the dialog:

function showModal() {
modalDialog.dialog('open');
var editor = $find('RadEditor1');
editor.onParentNodeChanged()
editor.set_html(editor.get_html());
}

Best wishes,

Hello Bharath,

I am not aware of any problems related in showModalDialog dialogs.
Could you please test the latest version 2011.2.712 of RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX in showModalDialog and if the problem still persists, open a support ticket and send a sample working project for examination.

Kind regards,
Rumen
