We have discussed allowing a module to request levels of toolbars (i.e. min, normal, max) and then those levels would be set by the prescribed provider. But that functionality is not currently scheduled for 3.0

Any Idea what kind of time-frame for this. It is pretty important for many types of modules.
I know it may be too early to say.

Thanks.

Jeremy,

Thanks for integrating new config options for the html provider. I tried to change toolbarStyle but changing to OfficeXP did no effect (does definitely not look like presentation at www.freetextbox.com), canging the setting to Office2000 or OfficeMac: style is applied, but no buttons are displayed (as I understood the instructions on the ftb web site, they should be taken out of the dll as the http handler ist set accordingly). How to display the appropriate button pics?

I just found an explanation of the officeXP behavior in Ftb3HtmlEditorProvider.vb:
line 585-586:
<code> Case "OfficeMac"
cntlFtb.ToolbarStyleConfiguration = ToolbarStyleConfiguration.OfficeXP</code
double case entry for "OfficeMac" instead of "OfficeXP".

We are using External Resources instead of the .dll's internal ones (for reasons I'm not sure of yet) The option is there but not the files. (and yes there is that typo for OfficeMac) The DNN distribution only includes the Office 2003 icons at this point I think. I'll try to post a .zip with the additional resources on webstone.com soon. At the time of Release Shaun was not wanting to increase the size of the .zip any more so they were left out.

You can download the extra images from FTB Here Just download the free version and unpack the images.

Cheers,
Dave

John, Jeremy and all:

I have the exact same situation as you do. FTB works fine with core modules, but with BonoSoft Multipage module there are no data selections in the formatting combo-boxes. Except for the "Styles" combo which has data but will not allow a selection.

Thought I had a corrupted installation of DNN and or BonoSoft multipage so I re-installed everything. No change! No reported errors on module installation either.

I'm new to all this and I'd love to make it work. Any thoughts?

Ab

Which version of DNN do you have installed ?

Hans Peter,

Sorry I didn't include, DNN version 3.012 with MPC 3.02

Ab:

The way that I got my FTB to work with the Bonosoft product was to follow Hans-Peter's instructions and download the latest version of the FTB provider functionality.  Works fine with 3.0.13.

Good Luck (and pray that Hans-Peter does not disappear)

John Kellgren

John:

Tried your suggestion, downloaded the Advanced FTB Provider Update for DNN 3.0.13. Tried it without uninstalling the Bonosoft and then uninstalling and re-installing the Bonosoft, neither worked still have the various formatting combo-boxes that have no data.

There was another FTB provider download update - DNN FTB Provider 3.0.3 at Hans-Peter's site. Any chance I should have used that one indstead? It is a much larger file.

Thanks anyway John, I'll keep searching.

Ab

Ab,

the problem is an error in the FTB FreeTextBox Controls.

It seems that DNN 3.0.12 and 3.0.13 did not include the latest version of FTB control.

Please have a look at your BIN folder and check the version of your freetextbox.dll.

If the version of the dll is 3.0.5000.1 it is not the last version.

The last version (in which the problem you describe is solved) ist the version 3.0.5000.3.

I have recompiled an actual version of the Ftb3HtmlProvider for DNN 3.X and have now include the actual version of freetextbox.dll.

To solve your problem download the Advanced FTB Provider Update for DNN 3.0.13 (now include the new ftb dll 3.0.5000.3) from my web site and copy the content with all subdirectories to the bin folder of your dnn installation.

Hans-Peter, John:

Thanks guys! Got the FTB working with the Bonosoft MPC module. Formatting combo-boxes all working etc.

The trick was to follow your instructions carefully and to download the correct file. Somewhat confusing with all the similar version numbers and naming but stumbled my way through it. The more you screw up the more you learn!

Cheers,

Ab

 

 

Hello!

I've downloaded your file, Hans-Peter, and FTB works fine but I want my users to be able to upload files. Do I really have to recompile DNN myselft to get this? I know it is just settings but I don't want to for each version of DNN and FTB have to compile and copy files. Anyone having the latest files compiled with Hans-Peters enchantements? Could we get an option in web.config "allow uploads"?

Please :)

Ylva

Hello Ylva,

the upload feature for FTB is a permission isue and it is not so quiet simple to implement a robust feature.

I have already done some thougts about this isue.

Let me think about that for a short while !

 

You may want to take a look at Olivers RADEditor provider source code, as the image upload/image management works great in that.

It is great to be able to upload an image/file right from editing the content of a module.

Thanks for the info,

I will have a look !
