Relative path for external CSS file problem

[Paul Robertson]

Hello

I have a radEditor for which I need to provide relative paths for its various CSS files.

For example:

<CssFiles>
  <trk:EditorCssFile Value="stylesheets/EditorContentArea.css" />
</CssFiles>

where the 'stylesheets' folder would be a subfolder in the same folder as the markup and code files.

But the relative path doesn't work, whereas using an absolute path is successful, e.g., this path does find the CSS file in question:

<CssFiles>
  <trk:EditorCssFile Value="~/[path_to_my_stylesheets]/EditorContentArea.css"

</CssFiles>

What could be occurring here? Is the a behaviour that can be configured and changed somehow to enable the use of a relative path. Possibly at the time of processing, the relative path is being determined from a different location to that of the markup file?

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be very greatly appreciated!

Regards

Hello,

The CssFiles property expects a virtual path which points to the root of the web application under which RadEditor resides. This means that the path should starts with ~/ .

What you can do is to put the CSS file(s) in some folder outside of the web application and make it using IIS a virtual folder pointing to the root of the web application.

All the best,
