Linkmanager Stripping Tags

[Paul Herzberg]

Hello,

If, in the Editor, you select some text and then open the Linkmanager and then if you add tags to the text, bold so that "test" becomes "<b>test</b>" for example, when you click on "OK" these tags are removed.

This means, for the company I work for, that an icon added previously is no longer added to the link. That is, this snippet no longer works:

var resultLink = this._clientParameters.get_value();
if (document.getElementById("dateiIcon").value != "") {
	resultLink.innerHTML = document.getElementById("dateiIcon").value + this._linkText.value;
} 

I believe this behaviour has been introduced in a recent dll (we are now using 2013.2.717.40).


Thank you

Hello Paul,

I can verify that the described behavior of the link manager is changed in the current version of RadControls.

I can assure you that the changes are made to fix bugs, although I will raise the reported issue to the attention of our developers.

Currently I cannot provide a firm answer from where the issue originates and how could it be resolved. I will investigate this issue further with the developer team and I will contact you later in this support thread with the found results.

Thank you in advance for your patience.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your patience.

I can verify that the described issue is due to changes of the Insert Link functionality. Currently I cannot suggest rolling back to the old behavior neither a proper workaround that would work as expected.

I recommend using the OnClientDomChange event and modify the link from the arguments in the method's overload. You could follow this example setup for your project:

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" OnClientDomChange="OnClientDomChange">
</telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientDomChange(editor, args) {
        var commandName = args.get_commandName();
        var value = args.get_value();

        if (commandName == "LinkManager") {
            var link = value;
            var linkText = link.innerHTML;
            link.innerHTML = "<strong>" + linkText + "</strong>";
        }
    }
</script>
