I have posted in ardvark - issue 518 - The rich text editor stores the HTML text as Encodeed HTML. The preview button code html encodes the data again and causes the preview function to not work.
Fix - EditHtml.ascx.vb Replace 144-147 with the following.

'strDesktopHTML = Server.HtmlEncode(TextEditor1.Text)


'lblPreview.Text = ManageUploadDirectory(Server.HtmlDecode(strDesktopHTML), PortalSettings.UploadDirectory)

Hi Bert,

Where can I find aarvark?

Thanks

Bert,

I believe this has been fixed already by Shane

strDesktopHTML = TextEditor1.Text

Geert: strDesktopHTML = TextEditor1.Text doesnt work for me....unless I am doing something else worng.

There is a second part to the fix that I just realized.

strDesktopHTML = TextEditor1.Text in EditHtml.aspx.vb is the correct code, because <dnn:texteditor> has a property 'HTMLEncode=True/False' that should handle the Encoding instead of making the mod dev handle it (if they want to handle it, they HTMLEncode=False (it defaults True).

However there was a bug in TextEditor.ascx.vb that was only Encoding when in RichText mode... the fixes:

TextEditor.ascx.vb - LINE 87 - 108
*****************

        Public Property Text() As String


            Get


                If optView.SelectedItem.Value = "B" Then


                    If optRender.SelectedItem.Value = "T" Then


                        Text = Encode(FormatHtml(txtDesktopHTML.Text))


                    Else


                        Text = Encode(txtDesktopHTML.Text)


                    End If


                Else


                    Text = Encode(RichText.Text)


                End If


            End Get


            Set(ByVal Value As String)


                If Value <> "" Then


                    txtDesktopHTML.Text = Decode(FormatText(Value))


                    RichText.Text = Decode(Value)


                Else


                    RichText.Text = "Add Content..."


                    txtDesktopHTML.Text = "Add Content..."


                End If


            End Set


        End Property

EditHTML.ascx.vb - LINE 144-147 should look like
*****************

                strDesktopHTML = TextEditor1.Text





                lblPreview.Text = ManageUploadDirectory(Server.HtmlDecode(strDesktopHTML), PortalSettings.UploadDirectory)

Thanks Shane

I have a couple of other questiosn about the HTML provider.

1. any thoughts on the ManageUploadDirectory function.

I have posted this in ardvark - issue 519

I came across this when creating a HTML provider for the telerik control.

Images appear fine in Edit and preview but show up as a red x in view mode
Bug Description – The telerik editor adds images with relative links and will automatically add the portal directory when adding images. For example <IMG src="Portals/0/approved_508.gif" border=0> The ManageUploadDirectory function on HtmlModule.ascx.vb causes this. This function parses the HTML data and examines all tags that have a src attribute. If the path does not start with a “/” the function adds the portal upload directory path to any tags. Since the telerik tags do not have a leading “/” the portal upload path is re-added. This fix will need to be addressed if the telerik editor is used to select files from a folder other than the portals upload directory.
Fix – Edit the ManageUploadDirectory functions also check if the upload path is part of the image path, if so skip it. Line 107 of HtmlModule.ascx.vb

'If InStr(1, strSRC, "://") = 0 And Left(strSRC, 1) <> "/" Then


If InStr(1, strSRC, "://") = 0 And Left(strSRC, 1) <> "/" And strSRC.IndexOf(strUploadDirectory.Substring(strUploadDirectory.IndexOf("Portals/"))) = -1 Then

2. Access the containing module control. I currently use the following code

Dim modulecontrol As PortalModuleControl = FindControlRecursive(Me.HtmlEditorControl, "ModuleContent").Controls(0)

Is this the correct way to do this?

All,

I upgraded to 2.1.2 this morning and I am receiving the following error when trying to edit data in the HTML\Text module, I saw this thread and tried the changes thinking maybe they weren't in 2.1.2 but I still get this result:

Server Error in '/DotNetNuke' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Source Error:


Line 115: txtDesktopHTML.Text = Decode(FormatText(Value))
Line 116:
Line 117: RichText.Text = Decode(Value)
Line 118:
Line 119: Else


Source File: C:\Inetpub\DotNetNuke_2.0\controls\TextEditor.ascx.vb Line: 117

Is anyone else getting this and has anyone come up with a solution?

Thanks,
Nathan

I have a fresh install of 2.1.2 and can not reproduce... Are you sure you copied all of the new files to your server?

Hi all, the above year-old post is the nearest one that the forum search engine gave me regarding today's DNN issue. It is not entirely accurate, but is probably the same issue. Essentially, images inserted into the editor appear as red X's when Preview at the bottom of the editing page is clicked. Upon examining the code, I can see a double-slash '//' in the image path.

Does anyone know if there is a fix or workaround for this?  3.1 still has the problem described.

I've gone looking for it on that DNN bug site, but there's nothing about it there under what I'd assume was the relevant section; editor. Perhaps it's somewhere else?

Thanks for any info on this one,
Rob
