Module disabling problem

[Reinan Shook]

I'm having a problem trying to set a module to disabled but allowing it to still be in the module list so that users can turn it on if they want. The code I'm using is as follows:

	<telerik:RadEditor ID="contents" runat="server" Content='<%# Bind("contents") %>'>
	<Modules>
	<telerik:EditorModule Name="RadEditorStatistics" Visible="true" Enabled="true" />
	<telerik:EditorModule Name="RadEditorDomInspector" Visible="true" Enabled="false" />
	<telerik:EditorModule Name="RadEditorNodeInspector" Visible="true" Enabled="false" />
	</Modules>
	</telerik:RadEditor>

The problem seems to relate to setting the visible property to true but the enabled property to false. When I do this I get the following javascript error:

Sys.InvalidOperationException: 'enabled' is not a property or an existing field.

When i get this error, the modules don't show up in the dropdown, and I get javascript errors when I click on it as well.

If I also set the visible property to false, there are no errors but then I don't get the desired functionality. What I want is for the modules to be initially disabled but show up in the list for users to enable if they want.

If anyone has any suggestions or solutions, i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Reinan

Hi Reinan,

The problem is due to the following setting in your web.config file:
<compilation debug="true">

To fix the problem set the debug attribute to false and test again.

We are aware of the problem and we will fix the issue in one of the upcoming updates.

Dear Rumen,

Do you know which upcoming update this will be fixed in as I have just come across this problem as well?

As I am developing an application it isn't really feasible for me to turn off debugging.

The only way round this I have found is to set:

radEditorModule.Visible = False

instead of:

radEditorModule.Enabled = False

within the code.

Any timescales would be much appreciated.

Hi Chris,

If you want to have the module on the client you need to set the Visible property to true or false.
If you do not want to send the module to the client you need to exclude it from the modules collections.

But you shouldn't set the Enabled property, because this will lead to this bug. The Enabled property was ported from the classic RadEditor but it shouldn't be used in RadEditor "Prometheus". You should set only the Visible property.

We will remove most likely the Enabled property in the upcoming versions of RadEditor "Prometheus".
