Setting Default Html Content in RadHtmlField

[Amal Abeygunawardana]

Hi Everyone,

I tried setting "Html" attribute of "RadHtmlField" to set some default html content when the page layout loads in SharePoint. However, this default value was not set as expected. Following is the code from page layout,

<telerik:RadHtmlField id="myfieldid" FieldName="myfieldid" runat="server" Html="&lt;h1&gt;my default content &lt;/h1&gt;" >

 </telerik:RadHtmlField>

Any help to set default content for this field is very much appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Amal

Hi Amal,

Could you confirm, which version of RadEditor for MOSS are you using? Knowing this I will be able to give a corresponding sample solution for the problem.

Hello,

You can achieve the desired functionality on the client side.
1. Add the following element in the ConfigFile.xml, which is located in the /Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/web server extensions/wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/5.x.x.0__1f131a624888eeed/Resources/ folder:

<property name="OnClientLoad">OnClientLoad</property>

2. Add the following javascript code in the MOSSEditorTools.js, which is located in the mentioned above folder:

function OnClientLoad(editor, args)
{
    var html = editor.get_html(true);
    if (html.match(/^\s*$/) != null)
        editor.set_html("Default content");
}

We have two more queries regarding your response:
1. On the path mentioned for "ConfigFile.xml" there are 8-10 more files with following naming convention:
    ConfigFile{GUID1}.xml
ConfigFile{GUID1}.xml
ConfigFile{GUID2}.xml
ConfigFile{GUID3}.xml
ConfigFile{GUID4}.xml
ConfigFile{GUID5}.xml
ConfigFile{GUID6}.xml
ConfigFile{GUID7}.xml
All the GUID values are different. From where does it get the GUID's?
Which "ConfigFile.xml"  should we change?

2. There is one "ConfigFile.xml" and "MOSSEditorTools.js" in "RadEditorMOSS.wsp" which we used to deploy RADEditor. Is it fine if we extract all the files from the wsp, make changes to "ConfigFile.xml" and "MOSSEditorTools.js" and create another .wsp using "makecab" utility? Any piece of advice you would like to suggest?

Hello,

1. Regarding the first question review the following online help article: Different configuration files for different webs

2. There is one "ConfigFile.xml" and "MOSSEditorTools.js" in "RadEditorMOSS.wsp" which we used to deploy RADEditor. Is it fine if we extract all the files from the wsp, make changes to "ConfigFile.xml" and "MOSSEditorTools.js" and create another .wsp using "makecab" utility? Any piece of advice you would like to suggest? -  In order to achieve this you will need some additional files, which we provide on demand. In order to get them open an official support ticket and, if you have valid license credentials I will provide them to you.
