RadEditor issue with DNN v4.8.4

[Dax]

I am using DNN 4.8.4 and defaulted HtmlEditor to RadEditor in the web.config.
I have a module which load the DnnEditor ("~/Controls/texteditor.ascx"), I am receiving the below mentioned error while loading the module:

A critical error has occurred.
The control collection cannot be modified during DataBind, Init, Load, PreRender or Unload phases.

When I switch back the "FckHtmlEditorProvider" as default there wont be any error. In this page I am using the RadAjax too.

I have downloaded the "RadControls_for_ASP.NET_AJAX_2008_2_723_dev.exe" and using it.

Could you please help me in resolving the above mentioned issue?

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Dax

Hi Dax,

Today we have released a new version of RadEditor for DNN where this problem should not be observed. Please upgrade to it and test the behavior.


Have a great weekend,

Is that the 826 version?

Hi Dax,

Yes, you need to download the 2008 Q2 SP1 version (826).

I hope this helps.

Hi Dax,

  Which specific file am I suppose to download to get the update?  I can't find the install exe one.  I downloaded this one here...

Telerik.DNN.Modules_2008_2_826_dev.zip

  But that is only 7 meg and doesn't have the setup.  Which one am I suppose to grab?

[Dax]

That is the file. You install it by either placing it in the /install/modules folder and going to this url:

http://www.yoursite.com/install/install.aspx?mode=InstallResources

Or you go to Module Resources in the Host menu and upload that file.  It installs as a DNN module.

Hi Dax,

  I got it installed and everything so it's a module, but how/where do I make changes in DNN so that it uses it as the default editor?  I recall doing this by hand before, making changes, so that I'm still using .733 even though I've installed the latest.  Is there some document I can look at that explains how to change the default editor to this new one?

Thanks
Kevin

Ok, let me clarify what I'm saying.

  In the individual controls for ASP.NET there is RadEditor.  And under RadEditor -> Downloads there is a file for DNN Integration.  It's called RadEditor 7.33 DNN

  There doesn't appear to be a file like this for the new update.  These are the files I used for my initial integration with DNN that changed the default.  Following the instructions located here...

http://dnn.telerik.com/Support/radEditorHtmlproviderinstallation/tabid/49/Default.aspx

  Is there an update to these files?  Or am I missing something?  I'd like to change the default editor to the latest but I don't see a DNN Integration file other than 7.33

Thanks
Kevin

Hello Kevin,

The new RadEditor provider installation is a bit different than the old one you are used to. Basically, after you deploy the Telerik.DNN.Modules_2008_2_826_dev.zip PA, you need to log in as Host, add the "RadEditor Provider" module to a page. This module is only used to control the active editor provider in your DNN site - simply enable the RadEditorProvider by selecting it in the dropdown list and clicking the "Enable this editor" button. After the editor is enabled you can remove the "RadEditor Provider" module from the page. The RadEditor should now be active in all Text/HTML areas in the site.

What the module does is the same as editing the web.config file in the old RadEditor provider. If you wish, you can modify the web.config manually and skip adding the module altogether. Here is how the web.config htmlEditor secton should look like:

    <htmlEditor defaultProvider="RadEditorProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
         <add name="RadEditorProvider" type="Telerik.DNN.Providers.RadEditorProvider" providerPath="~/DesktopModules/TelerikWebUI" AutoCreatePaths="true" />

         <add name=....
      </providers>
    </htmlEditor>
