I have a customer query relating to show/hide button functionality with the Premium MOSS control.

Is it possible to limit the buttons displayed in the toolbar based on the content authors role? e.g. Only display Switch to HTML View for authorised users.

Hello,

Currently, you cannot dynamically enable/disable the editor features depending on the user role. You can remove HTML mode by modifying the ConfigFile.xml (located by default at \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\4.1.0.0__1f131a624888eeed\RadControls\Editor\). However, this change will affect all editor users.

If you have experience with Visual Studio and C#, we can assist you in creating your own editor (which inherits from the RadEditor for MOSS). This way you will be able to implement role based or even page based security and customize the editor for your site.

Kind regards,
Lini

Lini,
Do you have any working examples of customising the editor to enable/disable toolbar buttons dynamically based on ROLE?
Appreciate your early response.

Hi Rana,

You can see an example of a custom web part control that uses the MOSSRadEditor in our help: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/radeditor-in-custom-moss-solutions.html. There you can set the editor's ToolsFile and ConfigFile properties to point to custom configuration files based on the current user role. The default path for the configuration files in version 5.x is /_wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/5.4.1.0__1f131a624888eeed/Resources/ConfigFile.xml (where 5.4.1.0 is the RadEditor for MOSS version you have installed).

Best wishes,
Lini
