2.         <DocumentManager ViewPaths="~/Documents" UploadPaths="~/Documents" />
3.</telerik:RadEditor>

Hello,

In order for RadEditro to be able to upload files to a SharePoint library it needs to be setup with a custom content provider. RadEditor for SharePoint 2013 has such provider integrated. You can find more information about Telerik WebParts for SharePoint in the following online article: http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/sharepoint-web-parts.aspx.

If you decide that you need to implement a custom content provider you will find helpful information in the following resources:
Editor - Custom File Dialogs Content Provider
Use Custom FileBrowserContentProvider
http://www.telerik.com/blogs/using-the-radfileexplorer-for-asp-net-ajax-in-sharepoint-2010-web-parts

In addition, if you have the required license, we provide the source code of RadEditor for Shaerpoint on demand so you will be able to see its implementation of the content provider.

Hi Stamnir,

I am using the SharePoint 2013 Online that comes is my Office 365 Business Premium license.  How do I install "Web Parts for SharePoint" in my instance of this SharePoint Online?

I want to open and save documents from SharePoint Online in Rad Editor using its document Explorer in my Rad .Net Ajax based Azure Visual Studio Application.

Thanks,

Donald

Hello Donald,

For Office 365 you can use the Kendo UI widgets, because its application model does not allow WebForms components like the UI for ASP.NET AJAX ones.

02.
03.editor.DocumentManager.UploadPaths = libraryPath;
04.editor.DocumentManager.ViewPaths = libraryPath;
05.editor.DocumentManager.AllowMultipleSelection = false;
06.editor.DocumentManager.MaxUploadFileSize = 2097152; // 2Mb
07.editor.DocumentManager.SearchPatterns = new string[] { "*.doc", "*.docx", "*.xls", "*.xlsx", "*.ppt", "*.pptx", "*.pdf", "*.jpg", "*.jpeg", "*.png" };
08.           editor.DocumentManager.ContentProviderTypeName = typeof(SPContentProvider).AssemblyQualifiedName;

10.private string[] getSPLibraryPaths()
11.       {
12.           List<String> paths = new List<String>();
13.           //get a list of all SharePoint libraries in the current web
14.           SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate ()
15.           {
16.               SPListCollection docLibraries = RetrieveDocumentLibraries(SPContext.Current.Web);
17.               //remove libraries that should not be visible in the FileExplorer
18.               foreach (SPList list in docLibraries)
19.               {
20.                   if (SPContentProvider.IsNotSystemFolder(list.RootFolder))
21.                   {
22.                       paths.Add(list.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl);

Hi Marin,

I already use Kendo UI.  However, after a careful search,  I cannot find any "Document Manager" / "File Picker" / "File Explorer" capability in Kendo UI.  Did I miss something?

If you sent me a link to the source code of RadEditor for Shaerpoint on demand, can I use its custom content provider with my RAD ASP.NET AJAX RadEditor as is?

If so, you will see that I have the required licence.  Could you send me the link to that source code?

Many Thanks,

Donald

Hello Donald,

The Kendo Editor has file manager dialogs: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/editor/imagebrowser.

As for the provider source for the SharePoint RadEditor—we do not usually provide the source code for the SharePoint web parts (it is not available by default in your account where you can download the Telerik.Web.UI source code, for example).

@Benjamin: to use RadEditor in a custom web part and still benefit from the built-in content provider we have for SharePoint, you should use the SPRadEditor class (control) which is what we internally use in editor the web part we provide. It is in the RadEditorSharePoint  assembly. You can read more about this in this forum thread.

To modify the link, you can try the following:

• enable the MakeUrlsAbsolute content filter which should work in case this is the URL of the current site: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/editor/managing-content/content-filters. 
• OR, if it doesn't, use the OnClientCommandExecuting event to modify the returned HTML string according to your logic: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/editor/client-side-programming/events/onclientcommandexecuting.

Hi marin

Thanks for your reply .  I have got the stuff to work.  But now i seem to have an issue getting radeditor to use the customised built in dialog.  I have specify the externaldialogurl parameter and ensure the dialogs are at the path .  But it seems that the editor is still using the old ones. 

[Marin Bratanov]

Hello Benjamin,

The most common reasons for such a problem are the following:

• the modified dialogs are not published to the production/staging/QA server so the customized files are actually missing.
• the path on the server is different from the path in development so, effectively, the modified files are not in the location the editor is looking for

I also suggest you review this article for an example: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/sharepoint/2010/radeditor-web-part/customization/modfying-built-in-dialogs.
