[Solved] RadEditor MOSS and Video Stream Server

[Renata]

Hi support,

  I'm tring to configure the RadEditor by creating a virtual directory and pointing out to a Video Stream Server but it is not working.
  Every time when it loads the media manager I get a not found error.

  Any idea of what may be wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Follow the configuration steps:

1.       Shared Windows Media Services folder

\\vm\WMRoot

2.       On the other server,  I created the virtual directory called MediaServices to point to   \\vm\WMRoot

3.       In the ConfigFile.xml of RadEditor, I configured the virtual directory path

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

       <property name="MaxMediaSize">6291456</property>

       <property name="EditModes">Design,Preview</property>

</configuration>

 4.       I get this error: NOT FOUND

The version being used is Q32009

Thanks, Renata

Hi Renata,

<property name="MediaPaths">
    <item>~/MediaServices</item>
</property>

Unfortunately RadEditor for MOSS file path properties can not work with real physical paths.  They only work with MOSS libraries. The value of an item from the MediaPaths collection can not start with ~ because they must point to MOSS libraries. If you set the Media Path starting with "/" it will refer the sites collection root.

This is the way that the editor content provider is designed to work.

Hi Stanimir,

Thanks for your reply.
In RadEditor it's possible upload Images and other files to a shared drive, creating a Custom File System Content Provider or virtual directory.
Can I use this on MOSSRadEditor? If yes, I need to know how.
I have the developer license and the source codes of Telerik.Web.UI.

Regards,

Renata

Hi Renata,
Here are some help articles that regard creating of custom content provider
1. http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/radfileexplorer-custom-filebrowsercontentprovider.html

What you can do is take the source code of RadEditor for MOSS and modify it so it will fit your case. Then create your own custom wsp solution. However the source code of RadEditor for MOSS is not available for download, but we provide it on demand. So please create an official support ticket and I will provide you with the source there.
