We just installed RadEditor 4.5.6 on WSS 3.0 and LOVE it - thanks so much for the awesome tool!

The only problem I have found so-far is when you type or copy/paste a URL into the body, it does-not automatically convert it into a hyperlink without putting the href tags around it.  If you click the 'Insert Hyperlink' button, I get nothing at all???

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Thanks again!

Hello Eriq,

You can use the provided by Telerik Link Manager dialog. In order to enable it you need to add the following code in the respective ToolsFile.xml or ListToolsFile.xml (for forms, such as list, wiki, blog ...), which are located in the Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\4.5.6.0__1f131a624888eeed\RadControls\Editor folder.
<tool name="LinkManager" /> 

I hope this helps.

Thank you x's 1000!  Worked like a charm.

Is there no way to have it automatically create hyperlinks for URL's and UNC's like the default SharePoint Rich Text Editor does?  For example, if I simply type http://www.telerik.com or even just www.telerik.com - in IE with the default editor, it will automatically convert those into hyperlinks on the fly (you can see it happen as you are typing).

Thanks again!

Oh-Well - I'm just glad to have the link manager working.

One last question for you while I have your attention...

Is there an easy way to change the default font size and type?

Thanks again for EVERYTHING!

Hello Eriq,

You can review the following online help article Defining custom CSS styles. What you should know is that since you are using  the light version of the RadEditor for MOSS your configuration folder is Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\4.5.6.0__1f131a624888eeed\RadControls\Editor.

I hope this helps.

I am a bit confused...

I read the article, and noted this paragraph:

Telerik RadEditor uses the same CSS files as the default rich-text editor. Those files are HtmlEditorTableFormats.css and HtmlEditorCustomStyles.css, which are located in the following folder:

/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/web server extensions/12/Template/Layouts/1033/Styles

This suggests that by default, the RAD Editor should automatically use the same default font as the default rich text editor, but that has not been my finding (which is why I asked this question in the first place).  I have Internet Explorer set to use the default editor (not RAD), and when I publish content with that editor it comes out in Verdana 8.5 point.  When I publish content from Firefox with the RAD editor, the default font is Times New Roman 12 point???

I saw the part about adding a CssEditor.CSS file manually, but I did-not see any info about what tags this file should contain?

Once again, I appreciate ALL of your help!

Hello Eriq,

In order to set the default font in the RadEditor content area you need to modify the CssEditor.css file and add the following code.
body 
   /*define the default font here*/

In order to keep the font after you save the content of the RadEditor, you need to make sure that default font in the page is the same as the one that you define in the  CssEditor.css.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely yours,
