Only edit/delete comments authored by the current user

[Paul]

Hi, I'm currently investigating using the RadEditor for a project at work, and I am trying to figure out if it is possible to set up the editor so that the current author (set programmatically from the database) can only edit/delete their own comments.  I have gone through google, but the word "comment" appears on just about every page on the internet, so I have not had any luck in figuring out how to do this.

Thanks,

Hello Paul,

Unfortunately there is no such built-in functionality. Still you can work around this limitation by handling the OnClientSelectionChange event of the Editor and always disable the respective tool button. Here is a sample implementation of the event handler:

function disableComments(editor, args)
{
    setTimeout(function() {
        editor.get_toolAdapter().getToolByName("RemoveComment").set_enabled(false);
    });
}

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Niko

Thanks for the reply, I think we will be able to get this to work for our project.
