[Solved] RadEditor: Binding content from content type in MOSS2007

[Dave]

Hi wondered if someone had a few pointers please - I used the FieldName property in the older version of the RadHtmlField (<radE:RadHtmlField FieldName="PublishingPageContent" runat="server" id="RichHtmlField1"/>) as a bind to the data and to bring in the desired content (ALL THIS IN A SHAREPOINT PAGE LAYOUT)- is there any way of doing that in the new RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX - the help indicates the following 2 ways (is there another way to bind to sharepoint content?) :-

RadEditor provides 2 different ways to set its content:

1. Setting the content programmatically:
   RadEditor1.Content = "<strong>Sample HTML Content Loaded via the Content property</strong>"
2. Inline in the RadEditor declaration: RadEditor offers to set content directly in the ASPX or ASCX file
   
   <telerik:radeditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor2" Height="100px">
   <Content>
   <strong>Sample HTML Content set inline in the RadEditor declaration</strong>
   </Content>
   </telerik:radeditor>

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the provided information.

Note that there is no change between the old and the new editor's content binding mechanisms, so you can use the same approach.

If you still experience difficulties achieving the desired behavior, please give us more details about your exact scenario and we will do our best to provide a solution. What version of the editor are you using?

I hope this helps.

George,

hi,

then how do you bind to content data in the new control given that there is no FieldName attribute e.g. 'FieldName="PublishingPageContent"'
Or will that be addressed in a new RadControl for Sharepoint 2007 release?

Hi Dave,

Please download and Install the 5.0.1 version of RadEditor for MOSS and you will be able to achieve the desired behavior. 

You can download it within your Client.net account: My Licenses --> Free Trials --> RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX --> Download --> RadEditorMOSS_5_0_1_Trial.zip

In addition please review the RadEditor for MOSS v.5.x online help:

I hope this helps.

Have a great weekend,
