RadScriptManager, MasterPages - PageMethods is Undefined

[Brian Garson]

Hello,

I'm trying to implement an extra toolbar button in my RadEditor that will call my codebehind via a Page Method and submit some content.  We're using Master Pages and I have my RadScriptManager on the master page:

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnablePageMethods="true" />

for my RadEditor in my ASCX user control I have:

<telerik:EditorTool Name="SaveDesign" Text="SAVE" ShowText="true" ShowIcon="false" />

and further down:

<script type="text/javascript">
Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList["SaveDesign"] = function(commandName, editor, args)
{
   PageMethods.MySave("input string",CallSuccess,CallFail);
};

function CallSuccess(results, userContext, methodName)
{
 alert(results);
}
function CallFail(errors, userContext, methodName)
{
 alert(errors.get_Message());
}
</script>

and in my codebehind I have:

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod()]
        public static string SaveShit(string stuff)
        {
            return "did something";
        }

When I browse the page and click the toolbar button I get the error:

Error: 'PageMethods' is undefined

I'm kind of stuck with this, any help would be appreciated.

Hi Brian,

Instead of

PageMethods.MySave("input string",CallSuccess,CallFail);

you should fire

PageMethods.SaveShit("input string",CallSuccess,CallFail);

If this does not help please implement your scenario with a standard input button using the information provided in these sites. If the code works with a standard button then it will work with a custom RadEditor's button:
