Simple Link Manager

[Sean]

Hi,

I have followed the instructions from : http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/editor/creating-a-simple-link-manager.aspx
to create a 'Simple Link Manager'.

This works fine, however, once a link has been added, if you right click on the link and select 'Set Link Properties', the editor trys to open the full telerik Link Manager, which is a problem as we do not wish to allow links to be edited in that way.

Is there a way to redirect that menu option to the simple link manager, or to remove the edit option altogether?

Regards,

Sean Duffy.

Hello Sean,

You can easily predefine the ContextMenu items for link tags using the following <contextMenus> inner-tag of RadEditor:

<telerik:radeditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"
 OnClientCommandExecuting="OnClientCommandExecuting"
 Height="400px">
    <Tools>
        <telerik:EditorToolGroup>
            <telerik:EditorTool Name="LinkManager" Text="Link Manager" />
        </telerik:EditorToolGroup>
    </Tools>
    <ContextMenus>
        <telerik:EditorContextMenu TagName="A">
            <telerik:EditorTool Name="LinkManager" />
            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Unlink" />
        </telerik:EditorContextMenu>
    </ContextMenus>
</telerik:radeditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
 function OnClientCommandExecuting(editor, args)
 {
    var commandName = args.get_commandName();
    if (commandName == "LinkManager")
    {
        editor.setFocus();

        //FireFox - will work only if there is selection of text, otherwise built-in browser command does not work
        if (!document.all)
        {
            var href=prompt("Enter a URL:", "http://");
            if (href) editor.get_document().execCommand("createlink", false, href);
        }
        else editor.get_document().execCommand("createlink", true, null);

        //Cancel the further execution of the command to avoid error
        args.set_cancel(true);
    }
 }
 </script>
