[Solved] WebPartTypeId

[Jakob Damsbo]

Does anyone know the WebPartTypeId for the SPS2003 radEditor?

We're upgrading to MOSS, and the old SPS2003 radEditor isn't supported on MOSS. The content isn't available, and Telerik's only suggestion is to do a manual upgrade of each editor's content, which is a very poor solution :-(
Anyway, I need to locate all instances of the editor on our portal, and for that I need to know the radEditor's WebPartTypeId.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jacob,

The problem is that in the MOSS version, we have changed the webpart type name from Telerik.WebParts.RadEditorWebPart to Telerik.SharePoint.RadEditorWebPart. We have already covered the SPS2003 to MOSS migration scenario. If you open a formal support ticket we can send you the upgrade instructions.

Hi Lini.

Thanks for your reply.
When I try to create a support ticket, I'm told that "We are sorry, but your support package is not active. This is due to one of the following reasons: "

I'm a bit confused by this. Does this mean, that we cannot get the MOSS upgrade instructions, even though we've purchased the radEditor? I hope I'm mistaken.

Also, I still need to know the WebPartTypeId for the 2003 radEditor?

Thanks in advance

Hello Jacob,

I am not sure if the WebPartTypeID property is the same in each installation of the SPS 2003 editor. In order to obtain it, I did the following:

1. I executed the following query on the sharepoint_SITE database:

SELECT     tp_webparttypeid, count(*) as 'count'
FROM         WebParts
GROUP by tp_webparttypeid

this query returns a list of all web parts and the number of times they are used.

2. I opened the sharepoint site, went into edit mode and added a new RadEditor web part on a page.

3. I executed the same query again and compared the result sets. One of counts had increased by 1 and it had a tp_WebPartTypeID of {3CB4F2E1-56B4-FCB5-D2FA-303F74EFBE74}

About the support ticket problem - I contacted the web team and they suggested the following workaround - download the ASP.NET editor control from the free trials section on the site. This will allow you to submit support tickets for it and we will be able to send you the ready migration solution.

Best wishes,
