Use RadEditor as control adapter to replace PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField in MOSS

[Craig Wallace]

Hi,

I am just looking at how to replace the PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField in a MOSS WCM site with the RadEditor lite. 

According to the docs, you have to replace all incidencies of the tag using sharepoint designer??  This would mean that the RadEditor could not be used on an existing site :(   It also means it could not be removed from a site at a later date!

Is there no way to implement the replacement with control adapters and .browser files??

Thanks,

Craig

Looks like that's a no :(

Type 'Telerik.SharePoint.FieldEditor.RadHtmlField, RadEditorSharePoint, Version=4.5.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1f131a624888eeed' does not inherit from 'System.Web.UI.Adapters.ControlAdapter'.

Can I make a request that a version is released that inherits from ControlAdapter?  This would then provide a great way to add or remove the editor from a sharepoint site.  Replacing the tags in layouts is not practical for existing sites.

Thanks.

Hi Craig,

RadHtmlField class inherits from BaseFieldControl. This is why you can replace the PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField with the RadHtmlField.

At this point we do not intend to release version, which inherits from ControlAdapter.
