Problem with iconurl property in ToolsFile.xml

[Peter Livsey]

Hi

We are upgrading our RadEditor from version 4.5.2 to 5.2.0.0 and are having a problem with the iconurl in the toolsfile.xml.

On version 4.5.2 we had specified some custom tools with our own icon
eg. 
    <tool name="Insert Email Link" iconurl="/_wpresources/DCC_Custom_Buttons/icon_email.gif" />

When we run the page in ver 5.2 and go into edit mode, the toolbar is not shown correctly and a Javascript error is given on the page.

Line: 2766
Char: 65
Error: Sys.InvalidOperationException: 'iconurl' is not a property or an existing field.
Code: 0
URL: http://servername/Sites/Public/Pages/Test.aspx

Why does this no longer work, has the iconurl property been replaced/removed?  If so what can we do to replicate the functionality with the latest version.

Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,

The iconUrl property is not supported by RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX (RadEditor for MOSS 5.x), because it has new toolbar architecture based on image sprites. Please, remove the iconurl property from the respective ToolsFile.

Note that, the new RadEditor use a new client-side model, semantic rendering, and many other innovations such as the use of css image sprites, it delivers minimal and well-formed output. It’s new rendering and architecture allows it to be a couple of times faster than the classic ASP.NET Editor.

To set an image to a custom tool you should provide image files for it and declare the following CSS class:

<style>
.rade_toolbar.<skinName> .<commandName>
{
  background-image: url(MyImage.gif);
}
</style>

All the best,
