Hi,
I have an issue where the top row of toolbars is missing from the rad editor. We are using version 5.6.0.0. My listconfigfile is

    
            <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
        
            <configuration> 
        
              <property name="ToolbarMode">Default</property> 
        
              <property name="ToolsWidth">600px</property> 
        
              <property name="EditModes">Design,Html</property> 
        
              <property name="Height">400px</property> 
        
              <property name="Width">600px</property> 
        
              <property name="ConvertToXhtml">True</property> 
        
              <property name="ShowHtmlMode">True</property> 
        
              <property name="ShowPreviewMode">False</property> 
        
              <property name="AllowScripts">False</property> 
        
              <property name="ImagesPaths">  
        
                <item>/Global/Image/Library</item>

                <item>/SiteCollectionImages</item> 
        
              </property> 
        
              <property name="OnClientSelectionChange">OnClientSelectionChange</property>

I've attached some images - I've tested the problem by swapping rows one and two around. The result is always the top toolbar is missing. I've tested this in IE 8 and Firefox 3.5 and get the same problem. I don't think this is css rated - the "missing toolbar in list item.png" shows the output in firebug - there are only two <ul> in reToolbarWrapper div. I'm wondering if there is something in the config file that is causing this?

I have a second question as well - when does editor use the listtoolsfile.xml vs the toolsfile.xml? I have attached three images - the one titled "Toolbar showing in List Item.png" is using the toolsfile.xml but the other two (which I'm getting the problem above) use the listtoolsfile.xml . My understanding was that list items all used the listtoolsfile.xml ?

Hi Stanimir,
Thanks for your reply. Is that by design or can I stop that by configuration? I'm getting this problem with out of the box lists like calendars so it's not going to be possible to change the configuration (or at least our users wouldn't be happy having to do this extra step each time they create a calendar list).

If it's by design and I can't stop it, can I just put in an empty row?

That may answer my second question as well then - if I use a richtext column , it uses listtoolsfile.xml and if it's an enhanced rich text column it uses toolsfile.xml?

Thanks in advance.

Dan

I would just like to say how good I think the Telerik support function is. We've only just implemented the rad editor on moss and everytime I've had an issue, you've got back to me really quickly.

Hi Dan Hibbert,

Bothe RichText and Enhanced RichText columns use ListToolsFile.xml. The only difference is that when the column is RichText the first toolbar is removed. This is by design and can not be changed.

Review the following online helps article Different configuration files for different webs. If you are using the latest version of RadEditor for MOSS 5.7.1. You can create ListToolsFile{UID}.xml where UID is the one of the list where the control is being used.
