Upgrade from 4.5.6.0 to 5.6.2.0

[Jason Brownhill]

Hi,
 We've finally purchased the full version and have a license for the Rad Editor for Sharepoint - Yayy!

 I've gone through the upgrade instructions here and I'm still having a few problems with the web part being allowed through the safecontrols entries that I've added back into the web.config file. The error I'm getting is :-

Web Part Error: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe.

[UnsafeControlException: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe.]
  at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationRuntime.SafeControls.GetTypeFromGuid(Guid guid)
  at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.SPWebPartManager.CreateWebPartsFromRowSetData(Boolean onlyInitializeClosedWebParts)

 On trying to correct this I've added all of the old safe controls lines into the web.config file as they were previously. Does it matter if they are after the new versions? The lines I've added back in are :-

<SafeControl Assembly="RadEditorSharePoint, Version=4.5.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1f131a624888eeed" Namespace="Telerik.SharePoint" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
      <SafeControl Assembly="RadEditorSharePoint, Version=4.5.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1f131a624888eeed" Namespace="Telerik.SharePoint.FieldEditor" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
      <SafeControl Assembly="RadEditorSharePoint, Version=4.5.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1f131a624888eeed" Namespace="Telerik.SharePoint.ListFieldEditor" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />

 I'm a bit unsure about what the instructions refer to in option 3, so I'm not sure if I'm missing a stage here or something. Can you advise please?

Thanks,
Jason.

Just to clarify a little further. The 4.5.6.0 version was withdrawn from the site from the solution management pages and removed from the farm. The files still exist under the folder :- C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\4.5.6.0__1f131a624888eeed

Thanks.

Reading the help file, the instructions are slightly different. Stage 3 is split up into sections a, b and c instead of continuing in the numbered bullet list in the web article. No worries though.

So, does this 'Do the following for each editing scenario' mean that I have to do something more than the once? I'm not sure what it means for each editing scenario. Sorry.

If I've had 3 lines from the previous version in the web.config file, does it now require 3 entries for the bindingRedirect?

Hi Jason,

All you need to do is add the correct bindingRedirect element in the web.config (if you have the latest version of RadEditor for MOSS 5.x.x.0 should be 5.6.2.0).

<dependentAssembly>
     <assemblyIdentity name="RadEditorSharePoint" publicKeyToken="1f131a624888eeed" culture="neutral" />
     <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-4.5.6.0" newVersion="5.x.x.0" />
</dependentAssembly>

and add a SafeControl element for the old version of the editor in the web.config

<SafeControl Assembly="RadEditorSharePoint, Version=4.5.6.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=1f131a624888eeed" Namespace="Telerik.SharePoint" TypeName="*"
Safe="True" />

 Thanks for the solution - it just wasn't apparent from the instructions that I would need to edit the actual version numbers in the code snippets. ;o)

Hello saran,

Could  you please open an official support ticket and provide me with the web.config file of your MOSS server. I will check it and advise you further.
