[Solved] Unicode Characters: Telerik undefined

[Nicholas Bott]

I am trying to implement the "hack" solution to preserve HTML symbols instead of converting them to Unicode.  My problem is that "Telerik" is undefined in the javascript.  I don't have any references to Telerik.Web.UI as I am just using RadEditor, nothing else by Telerik.  Can you give me the numeric value for the enum: Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Filter

If this is not an enum, can you give me the javascript definition for that variable?

I'm fairly certain that is the problem spot in the script.

Thanks much.

Hi Nicholas,

I believe that you are trying to use the solution provided in this KB Article: Converting Unicode symbols to numeric HTML entities using a content filter. Am I correct?

However the code provided in the article applies only to RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX (Telerik.Web.UI.dll) and if you are using the classic version (RadEditor.Net2.dll) then it will not work. That is why, could you please send us the exact version of RadEditor that you use in your project so we can provide an appropriate solution for your scenario.

Kind regards,

Correct on the KB article.

The version of the library I am using is 7.0.2.0.  The library name is "RadEditor.dll".

Thank you.

Hi Nicholas,

Here is the required solution for RadEditor Classic, based on the Content Filters help article:

<script type="text/javascript">
function RadEditorCustomFilter()
{
  this.GetHtmlContent = function (content)
  {
     var newContent = content;
     //Make changes to the content and return it
            //Convert all symbols to their numeric HTML entities
            newContent = content.replace(/А/gi, "&#1040;");
            newContent = newContent.replace(/Б/gi, "&#1041;");
            newContent = newContent.replace(/В/gi, "&#1042;");
            newContent = newContent.replace(/Г/gi, "&#1043;");
            newContent = newContent.replace(/Д/gi, "&#1044;");
            //Go ahead and add all letters. Note: this will likely cause a performance problem
            //newContentnewContent = newContent.toUpperCase();
         return newContent;
  };
}

/* Use the editor onload function to register the filter with the FiltersManager */
function onClientLoad (editor)
{
  var customFilter = new RadEditorCustomFilter();
  editor.FiltersManager.Add(customFilter);
}

</script>
<rade:RadEditor
   ID="editor1"
   Runat="server"
   OnClientLoad = "onClientLoad" >
   content as Unicode: А Б В Г Д
    <br />
    Original content as numeric: &#1040; &#1041; &#1042; &#1043; &#1044;
</rade:RadEditor>
