I have not been able to figure this out. My analysis indicates that the Rad control is reformatting the href when the LinkManager returns back to the Editor control. The url value returned to the Editor control contains the path information. Can a Telerik developer confirm this? If this is so, I will not be able to use this control at all in my environment.

My analysis also revealed that Sharepoint treats LinkAssets differently between a stand-alone installation and a farm environment. The RadEditor works fine in my VM test environment. But when I use it in the farm environment I receive a "You must specify a valid field value". The only time I do not get this error message is if the Link asset is outside of the current location of the page being edited. Sharepoint wants to have the path information included with the link. For example, just "personnel.aspx" will cause the error. But http://myserver:4040/pages/personnel.aspx will work fine. But I can't just type this entire url in to the Rad editor since it will parse the href and change it to just "personnel.aspx".

Is there a way around this? We really like the editor, but IMO this is a show stopper for this control.

Can I get any assistance?

Hello Tom,

Yes, this is not currently possible because unlike the deafult editor, we do not yet have a Browse button when you try to edit pages ( as in screenshot). We will soon add this functionality so you can link pages you want as well.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Hi Ubong

We'd like to take a look at the pre-release if possible, as we're back on the beta at the moment due to another bug in v1.0 which I'm told is now fixed. Unfortunately I can't open a support ticket as your website is convinced I haven't downloaded anything.

Also, are you aware of the bug which causes text copied from Word to turn into something that looks like Greek when pasted into the Telerik editor? Our editors tell me that this happens quite often. What actually occurs is that the Symbol font is applied, so I've told them to use the "Strip spans" feature to remove it. (It's useful to strip spans anyway - is there an option which would make this automatically happen when pasting?)

Hello Rick ,

I missed the fact that editor MOSS is without support currently and in order to get the build, you will need to open a bug report or general feedback ticket for now so we can attach it.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

On the Greek letters, there was a problem in one of the earlier version 7.x of RadEditor in which the regular expressions (that Radeditor uses to strip the content when you paste from word) did not strip the Symbols font supplied from MS Word. This was fixed in the regular build of RadEditor and the problem should not exist in v7.1.0. When the font is Symbol then the content is displayed with Greek letters. MS Word uses often the Symbol font to display the bulleted shapes in it.

Thus when you paste for example bulleted content from MS Word, the pasted content looks like a Greek text because of the non stripped Symbol font.

Our suggestion is to test the latest standard build of RadEditor and see whether the problem still exists. Also, the problem should not exist with the new build.

All the best,

Ubong

Hi Thomas,

Please, excuse us for the delay!

We developed a new mechanism that preserves the link/image paths the way they are inserted to the RadEditor content area. Please, follow the step-by-step instructions below to enable the path keeper filter in RadEditor for MOSS:

1) Open the \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\4.4.1.0__1f131a624888eeed\RadControls\Editor\ConfigFile.xml file and register the OnClientInit event of RadEditor:

      <configuration>
        ...
        <property name="OnClientInit">OnClientInitFilter</property>
      </configuration>

You should also set the StripAbsoluteAnchorPaths and StripAbsoluteImagesPaths properties to true, e.g.

<property name="StripAbsoluteAnchorPaths">True</property>
<property name="StripAbsoluteImagesPaths">True</property>

2) Open the page with the <radE:RadHtmlField in Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer and put the following JavaScript inside the PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead asp:content tag:

    <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" runat="server">
    <script type="text/javascript">
    originalOnClientLoadFunctions = new Object();

    function OnClientInitFilter(editor)
    {
        //use the filter only on IE
        if (editor.IsIE)
        {
            //save the original onclientload function reference
            if (typeof(editor.OnClientLoad) != "undefined" && editor.OnClientLoad != null)
            {
                originalOnClientLoadFunctions[editor.Id] = editor.OnClientLoad;
            }
            editor.OnClientLoad = OnClientLoadFilter;

            if (typeof(RadEditorNamespace.OriginalSetElementInnerHTML) == "undefined")
            {
                RadEditorNamespace.OriginalSetElementInnerHTML = RadEditorNamespace.SetElementInnerHTML;
                RadEditorNamespace.SetElementInnerHTML = function (elem, content)
                {
                    content = GetStoredOriginalPathsAndAttributes(content);
                    RadEditorNamespace.OriginalSetElementInnerHTML(elem,content);
                    RestoreOriginalPathsAndAttributes(elem);
                };
            }

            editor.OriginalSetContentMethod = editor.SetContent;
            editor.SetContent = function(content)
            {
                if (!editor.InitialSetContentCalled)
                {
                    editor.InitialSetContentCalled = true;
                    editor.InitialNonModifiedContent = content;
                }
                //Call the original editor method:
                editor.OriginalSetContentMethod(content);
            }
            editor.OriginalPasteHtml = editor.PasteHtml;
            editor.PasteHtml = function(content, sTitle, bSelectText, bFireSelChanged, bAddUndo)
            {
                content = GetStoredOriginalPathsAndAttributes(content);
                editor.OriginalPasteHtml(content, sTitle, bSelectText, bFireSelChanged, bAddUndo);
                RestoreOriginalPathsAndAttributes(editor.GetContentArea());
            }
        }
    }

    function GetStoredOriginalPathsAndAttributes(content)
    {
        var pathsRegExp = /((href|src)\s*=\s*('|")?)(.*?)(\3)(\s|(\/)?>)/ig;
        content = content.replace(pathsRegExp, "$2=$3$4$3 originalAttribute=\"$2\" originalPath=\"$4\"$6");
        return content;
    }

    function RestoreOriginalPathsAndAttributes(contentArea)
    {
        var children = contentArea.getElementsByTagName("*");
        for(var i=0; i < children.length; i++)
        {
            var currentChild = children[i];
            var originalPath = currentChild.getAttribute("originalPath");
            var originalAttribute = currentChild.getAttribute("originalAttribute");
            if (originalPath != null && originalAttribute != null)
            {
                currentChild.removeAttribute("originalPath");
                currentChild.removeAttribute("originalAttribute");
                if (originalPath.toLowerCase().indexOf("mailto:")==0)
                {
                    //fix the IE bug where a mailto link with a subject will change the anchor text
                    continue;
                }

                //fix anchors
                originalPath = originalPath.replace(window.location.href+"#","#");
                //

                currentChild.removeAttribute(originalAttribute);
                currentChild.setAttribute(originalAttribute, originalPath);
            }
        }
    }

    function OnClientLoadFilter(editor)
    {
        if (editor.InitialSetContentCalled)
        {
            editor.SetHtml(editor.InitialNonModifiedContent);
        }
        editor.InitialNonModifiedContent = null;
        //call the original OnClientLoad function
        if (typeof(originalOnClientLoadFunctions[editor.Id]) != "undefined" && originalOnClientLoadFunctions[editor.Id] != null)
        {
            originalOnClientLoadFunctions[editor.Id](editor);
        }
    }
</script>
<style>

      ...
   3. Save the files and test the editor.

Hi Thomas Lin,

Our suggestion is to save the content when the properties below are set to true

<property name="StripAbsoluteAnchorPaths">True</property>
<property name="StripAbsoluteImagesPaths">True</property>

and after that just for test to set the StripAbsoluteAnchorPaths and StripAbsoluteImagesPaths properties to false and insert a link with the Hyperlink manager. Please, do not modify the link after its insertion and see whether it is inserted as it is expected.

If this works for you, we will provide a custom solution that will set automatically the StripAbsoluteAnchorPaths and StripAbsoluteImagesPaths to false when inserting links and images respectively from the Hyperlink and Image managers and will set the StripAbsoluteAnchorPaths and StripAbsoluteImagesPaths properties to true, when saving the content.

If the provided suggestion above does not help, please provide sample content and steps to reproduce the problem on our side. We will investigate the problem and do our best to fix it.

Kind regards,
Rumen

Hello,

Can you please let us know which RadEditor for MOSS version you are currently using? I am asking this because by default the editor will keep all links as they are entered. That is, the RadEditor for MOSS 5.x which is based on RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX.

Also, can you elaborate a bit on your current scenario - do you experience any problem when you do not set those options explicitly (e.g neither to true, nor to false)?

Please let us know how a link looks like when it is entered in the editor, and what happens when this content is transferred to the other server?

Looking forward to hearing from you,
