There are a couple more things you can do to make it work a little nicer:
(set all of these properties within the (page not postback) IF block)

If you don't want RAD injecting your changes into the .aspx page (and forcing you to hit RAD's update button, and then DNN's)

ftbDesktopText.SubmitControl = "cmdUpdate"
ftbDesktopText.Editable = True

If you want to be able to browse the portal file dir for content, set these three properties

ftbDesktopText.ImagesPaths
ftbDesktopText.MediaPaths
ftbDesktopText.FlashPaths

If you want to be able to upload through RAD as well:

ftbDesktopText.UploadImagesPaths
ftbDesktopText.UploadMediaPaths
ftbDesktopText.UploadFlashPaths

Setting the six above to:
= New String() {_portalSettings.UploadDirectory.Substring(_portalSettings.UploadDirectory.IndexOf("/Portals/"))}

Will point it to the current portal's upload dir.

Also, if you would like to not have the add the radControl subdir to every portalAlias,
you can add the following in the GetDomainName function (in globals.vb):

Change:
Case "admin", "controls", "desktopmodules", "mobilemodules", "premiummodules"
To:
Case "admin", "controls", "desktopmodules", "mobilemodules", "premiummodules", "radcontrols"

This will allow any page/control in the radcontrols subdir to load.

BTW - While you are there - you can change the IF in the case else below:

' check if filename or trace
If (InStr(1, URL(intURL), ".aspx") = 0) And (InStr(1, URL(intURL), ".axd") = 0) Then

Then you can use application tracing by browsing to "appdir/trace.axd" (after setting trace enabled in the system.web section of web.config)

One last warning about the RAD editor: it was written in C#. If you are using Visual Studio, **DON'T** include the .aspx pages in you project- VS sometimes changes the @page language to .vb from .cs, and things start breaking!

Hi,

I don't have any experience with the Telerik Rad Menu but I have integrated the ASPnetMenu into DNN v1.0.9. The ASPnetMenu works differently to the Solpart menu included with DNN and therefore proved to be a little challenging to get working. The biggest problem I had was being able to add child menu items using the TabStripDetails and TabSettings collections (as DNN does for Solpart).

If you come across similar problems my code may help.

To implement the telerik r.a.d.editor control in DotNetNuke you have to make the following
steps:

1) Update the PortalAlias field in the Portals table
e.g.
from:
localhost/DotNetNuke
to:
localhost/DotNetNuke,localhost/DotNetNuke/RadControls

2) Open the DesktopModules/HTML/EditHtml.ascx file and replace the FreeTextBox control with r.a.d.editor. e.g. <radE:RadEditor ID="editor1" Runat="server" SubmitControl="cmdUpdate" ......../>

3) Open the DesktopModules/HTML/EditHtml.ascx.vb(cs). Declare "Telerik.RadEditor.RadEditor editor1" instead of "FreeTextBoxControls.FreeTextBox ftbDesktopText" in the beginning. Then replace "ftbDesktopText.Text" with "editor1.Value" throughout the code. (Comment the lines where the "ImageGalleryPath" and "HelperFilesParameters" properties are set)

4) Open the Components/Configuration.vb(cs) file and in the constructor of the PortalSettings class put the "Me.UploadDirectory = ...." (vb)/"this.UploadDirectory = ...." (cs) line in a try/catch statement.

5) Open DesktopModules/HTML/HtmlModel.ascx.vb(cs)
Replace the following line:
HtmlHolder.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl(ManageUploadDirectory(content, _portalSettings.UploadDirectory)))
with:
HtmlHolder.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl(content))

as the ManageUploadDirectory function puts additional path info before each image src attribute

http://www.asp.net/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?tabindex=1&PostID=192112

i am having trouble with displaying the aspx pages in the RadControls folder...did you get this to work? if so what did you do?

Re: Anyone successfully integrated Telerik products?

mbrandon — Fri, 06 Jun 2003 19:02:56 GMT

I have the editor working. I haven't spent the time to tightly couple it, though, so you have to first use telerik's update to save from the editor to DNN's edit page, and the use DNN's update to post changes to the database.

Here are my files: (This assumes you have the RadControls dir in the host root... I'm not sure the best place to put it. This does force you to add a alias to the portalalias table to get image inserts)

Caveat's: I made a change to the HTML module so that it doesn't inject the path to image files as it renders. Rather, I let R.A.D. code that into the html stream, and thus the database.
So any existing html with src= would have to change.

I think these are the only changes I needed. I can't swear to it. YMMV. :)

All changes is .vb should be tagged with -MBRANDON. I didn't tag all my changes in .aspx... I think it's just in the panel that displays the FTB.

Finally, I am still on 1.0.8, as I haven't had the time to start patching .9 with my enhancements.

Anyone successfully integrated Telerik products?

Ronald.Ward — Wed, 04 Jun 2003 21:08:15 GMT

I would like to talk to anyone that has implemented Telerik's menu control in DNN as well as the editor. I am not anticipating any issues with the editor really, I have run into a couple of questions though regarding the menu control.

TIA,
Ronald
