How to enable RadEditor dialogs?

[Valeri Hristov]

In RadEditor Prometheus we removed the need for RadControls folder by integrating all dialogs inside the Telerik.Web.UI assembly. However, the dialogs have to be displayed in separate page, so you need to add a setting in your root web.config:
<httpHandlers>
 <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" verb="*"
  type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler, Telerik.Web.UI,
  Version=2007.2.918.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4"
  validate="false" />
</httpHandlers>

Note that if you use newer Telerik.Web.UI assembly, you might need to update its version (highlighted above).

To make the job easier, RadEditor Prometheus has a verb for adding this setting in its smart tag (it is shown only if the setting is not already present):



I hope this helps,

What happens if you just do this :-
   <add verb="*" path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler"/>
i.e. leave out the version and token. Does that work?

[Shaun Peet]

It does for me.

[Valeri Hristov]

You could omit the version, the culture and the public key token if the Telerik.Web.UI.dll is in the application's bin folder. If you place the assembly in GAC, you will have to use the fully qualified type name. Clicking on the smart tag will add the handler with the fully qualified type name.

The smart tag does not work in VS 2008.

My editor stopped working. Here is the handler section of my web.config:

<handlers>

<remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated"/>

<remove name="ScriptHandlerFactory"/>

<remove name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices"/>

<remove name="ScriptResource"/>

<add name="ScriptHandlerFactory" verb="*" path="*.asmx" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

<add name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

<add name="ScriptResource" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

<add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2007.2.918.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" validate="false" />

<add path="Telerik.RadUploadProgressHandler.aspx" verb="*" type="Telerik.WebControls.RadUploadProgressHandler, RadUpload.Net2"/>

</handlers>

It is also showing an error that there is no name, and validate is undeclared.

Hi Andrew,

The problem is fixed in the "futures" build of RadControls "Prometheus", available for download under your Client.net account.

If you have enough time, you can wait for the official release of RadControls "Prometheus" Q3, scheduled for the beginning of next week.

Smart Tag does not appear in VS2008 using Prometheus Q3.

[Roger]

had the same issues. after installing the .net 3.5 version of Telerik.Web.UI.dll into the GAC the smart tag was back again. see post by Michael McCallum here...

[Rumen]

Hi Brett,

The smart tag will not appear if the SpellCheckHandler and DialogHandler handlers are already registered in the web.config file, e.g.

    <httpHandlers>
      <remove path="*.asmx" verb="*" />
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2007.3.1218.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4"
        validate="false" />
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2007.3.1218.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4"
        validate="false" />
    </httpHandlers>

If your scenario is other, please provide more information how to reproduce the problem. You can open a support ticket and send a sample working project that we can test. We will examine it and see what is causing the problem. After that we will do our best to provide a solution.

Hi Nirmala,

The following help article provides guidance how to solve the reported problem:
Error: Web.config registration missing! The Telerik dialogs require a HttpHandler registration in the web.config file.
