Lots of extra HTML output for RadEditor

[msigman]

I have a RadEditor with very basic functionality.  Nothing in the modules section, using external Toolbar file, and external CSS file.

However, this is generating a tremendous amount of code to the page for things like Image Manager, Document manager, etc, which I am not using.  Also it's adding a lot of extra code for localization: $create(Telerik.Web.UI.RadEditor, {"_localization":{"addcustomcolor":"Add Custom Color...","addcustomhexcolor":"Add Hex Color...","

Except that I'm not using Add custom color, hex color, or anything other than bold, italic, underline.

How can I trim this way down?

Hello Matthew,

You can remove all the dialog definitions from the dialog opener control after they are populated on the server. Unfortunately, this happens pretty late in the page lifecycle (PreRender event). Here is some sample code that might help:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" ToolsFile="~/basictools.xml" runat="server">
</telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/C#" runat="server">
protected override void OnPreRenderComplete(EventArgs e)
{
    RadEditor1.DialogOpener.DialogDefinitions.Clear();
    base.OnPreRenderComplete(e);
}
</script>

This will clear the dialog definitions and will reduce the size of the page on the client.

The localization strings come from the server and they could not be changed.

Sincerely yours,

Thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately, the RadEditor in question is located in a Master Page which doesn't have the OnPreRenderComplete event available.  I tried it in OnPreRender and it didn't work.  Any ideas?

Hi Matthew,

The code below will work without problems if the editor is placed in the content page:

 protected override void OnPreRenderComplete(EventArgs e)
 {
 RadEditor1.DialogOpener.DialogDefinitions.Clear();
 base.OnPreRenderComplete(e);
 } 

If the editor is placed in the masterpage then you can subclass the RadEditor control (RadEditor editor = new RadEditor();), override its Control PreRender event, call the base and clear the

DialogDefinitions

 collection using

 RadEditor1.DialogOpener.DialogDefinitions.Clear();

This is the only possible approach that I could suggests.

Kind regards,
