[Solved] Missing context menu in editor

[David Stretch]

Hi,

I have the editor configured in two environments slightly differently and in one of the two the right-click context menu doesn't appear, I just get a . near the mouse pointer.

Hopefully I'm missing something obvious and there's an easy solution, can you turn the menus off entirely in a single location or is it just a case of removing the <contextMenus> section of the tools.xml file?

Whilst there are subtle differences in the toolbar configurations between the environments, both seem to have the same <contextMenus> section.

My tools.xml is attached below:

<root>
  <modules>
    <module name="RadEditorDomInspector" />

  <tools name="row1">
    <tool name="Print" />

Hi David,

I tested the problem with the provided ToolsFile.xml and was not able to reproduce it. The context menu worked as expected on our test server. In my test I  used the latest version of RadEditor for MOSS, which now is 5.7.2.

In order to help you further I will need some additional information. Could you provide me with a couple of screen shots where we can see the problem context menu?

Regarding how to disable the context menu review the following online help article http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet/editor/disablingthecontextmenu%20.html.
Since you are using RadEdiotr for MOSS, first you need to set the OnClientLoad property in the respective ConfigFile.xml or ListConfigFile.xml, which are located in the /Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/web server extensions/wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/5.x.x.0__1f131a624888eeed/Resources/ folder. Add the following line:

<property name="OnClientLoad">OnClientLoad</property>

Second you need to add the OnClientLoad javascript method in the page where RadEditor for MOSS is loaded. One good place for it is the MOSSEditorTools.js file, which is located in the previously mentioned folder.

function OnClientLoad(editor)
{
   editor.AttachEventHandler("oncontextmenu", function(e)
   {
      if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
      return false;
   });
}
