Specify which CSS Styles to display

[John Way]

How do I configure the MOSS radEditor (Premium version) to only show CSS styles from specific CSS files?

Thanks,
John W.

I have the same problem, if I specify the folder in ConfigFile.xml, like
<property name="CssFiles">/style%20library/someFolder/style_rad.css</property>

it still shows all the styles from the page, and not only those specified in the style_rad.css

Thanks

Hi guys,

CssFiles property in the editor's ConfigFile accepts multiple items, so the correct syntax is:

<property name="CssFiles">
    <item>/_wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/4.3.2.0__1f131a624888eeed/RadControls/Editor/MyStyles.css</item>
</property>

Also please make sure that you are editing the appropriate ConfigFile - it differs depending on the scenario (ListConfigFile.xml / ConfigFile.xml)

Works perfectly!

A couple tips....

1. I reference the .css in it's default SharePoint location at
   

   <property name="CssFiles">
       <item>/Style%20Library/myStyles.css</item>
     </property>
   

2. I create a separate folder for my config files outside of the versioned folders so that I don't have to move them for each component update
    ....\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\RadConfigFiles\Site1\Site1_ConfigFiles.xml
3. Also, if you modify the default ConfigFile.xml  and ToolsFile.xml files, they get deleted upon removing the SharePoint solution to upgrade to the newer component.

Thanks again for a wonderful support experience. You guys are the best.
See you at DevConnections.

So, a CssFiles item element can point to a css file in a SharePoint document library?

How do you specify the location of the ConfigFile.xml file to use? Can I put my ConfigFile.xml anywhere on disk. If so, how does the editor know where to read it from?

Does all this still apply to the latest version (5.4)  for the full version of RadEditor for MOSS?

Thanks.

Hi ajd,

You can not put your ConfigFile.xml anywhere in the disc. If you are using RadEditor for MOSS v 5.x it should be in Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\5.x.x.x__1f131a624888eeed\Resources folder.

If you are using the light version of the RadEditor for MOSS the configuration files should be in /Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/web server extensions/wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/4.5.x.x__1f131a624888eeed/RadControls/Editor/ folder.

Thanks for the reply.

So what is John Way referring to when he states:

 ...\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\RadConfigFiles\Site1\Site1_ConfigFiles.xml

?

Hello ajd,

If you replace the tag of the default editor <PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField ... >  with the RadEditor tag: <telerik:RadHtmlField id="Content" FieldName="..." runat="server"></telerik:RadHtmlField>, using the SharePoint designe, you can set the ConfigFile property to point to other than Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\5.x.x.x__1f131a624888eeed\Resources location. But if you use it only by enabling it from SiteFieatures the path to the config filr can not be changed.

Hi Stanimir,

How to decide where we have to make changes for config properties - in ConfilFile.xml or ListConfigFile.xml

[Stanimir]

Hello Archana,

You can find how to set properties in RadEditor for MOSS via Config File in the following help article http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/set-properties-via-config-file.html.

In general ConfigFile.xml is for Web Part and WCM scenario and ListCofigFile.xml is for SharePoint forms scenario (Lists, Wikis, Blogs, etc.).

I hope this helps.

Hi Stanimir,

Thanks. One more thing
I am using radEditor 5.4 version.
I have added custom style-sheet CssEditor.css and made the necessary changes in ConfigFile.xml as follows:
  <property name="CssFiles">
      <item>/_wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/5.4.0.0__1f131a624888eeed/Resources/CssEditor.css</item>
 </property>

The problem is - in the css dropdown box, along with the custom styles from CssEditor, default styles are also appearing which i suppose it is reading from HtmlEditorCustomStyles.css and HtmlEditorTableFormats.css.
Is there any way to avoid those default styles to appear in dropdown?

Regards,
Archana

[Stanimir]

Hello Archana,

In order to set the CssFiles collection you need to modify the respective ToolsFile.xml ListToolsFile.xml (for forms scenarios such as list, wiki, blog ...), which are located in \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\5.4.1.0__1f131a624888eeed\Resources folder.

For example add the following code.

<cssFiles>
    <item name="/_wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/5.4.1.0__1f131a624888eeed/Resources/CssEditor.css" />
</cssFiles>

This will stop the loading of the default MOSS styles.

Also please remove the following code form your config files.

 <property name="CssFiles">
      <item>/_wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/5.4.0.0__1f131a624888eeed/Resources/CssEditor.css</item>
</property>

I hope this helps.
