Now that we have the new provider model in DNN 2.1, I am wondering if anyone has published providers for any editors besides the default - FTB???

Bert corderman documented one for the telerik rad.editor @ http://www.telerik.com/Default.aspx?PageId=1602&b66ResourceId=WX , and according to this Nina will be selling a PA using the CuteSoft editor later this week.

The Editor Providers are rediculously easy to make, I took a look at the Rad Tree one. You literally have to modify 2 functions. Take a look at the Telerik example, it's easily adaptable to any editor.

Man I love the Provider pattern.

I don't really want another PA with an editor, I would like a better editor for all of my modules.

This is why I am hoping more of this gets going.

Thanks

The providers are a seperate PA...that is the way they work...but when iomplemented the text editor is replaced whereever the HTML provider is used

Bert

So here is my question: If a provider is made for a specific editor.

Am I correct in assumming this could be used with any module that is Provider enabled?

Second question would be does Nina's PA act as a provider, or is it a stand-alone PA, allowing an author to add html content to the site?

Hi

1. Any module that is peditprovider enabled should in theory be able to use the editor you defined for it.

2. Nina's one at the moment is just a PA, so a variation of the html module that uses the cuteeditor instead of the richtextbox.

I have a cute editor provider in my planning but at the moment I have a lot of other stuff to finish first

The provider is one of the easiest things to create. I was going to create a FCK editor one but I have no need for it as I have the telerik control now. I also think this is an opportunity for someone in the community to step up. If anyone needs help creating one send me an email or post here.

Nokiko,

Listen, I just resorted to creating my own HTMLEditorProvider for the CuteEditor product. It really is a piece of cake for the generic functionality. Took less than 30 minutes. Email me if you need it if you never got around to creating one.

Cheers

Goodness, it really is so simple I thought I'd just go ahead and post the code that's needed. Of course this needs to be in a new project with references to DNN and CuteEditor, etc.... standard provider stuff:

Here goes:

Imports System.IO


Imports System.Web


Imports DotNetNuke


Imports CuteEditor





Namespace DotNetNuke.HtmlEditor


    Public Class CuteEditorProvider


        Inherits HtmlEditorProvider





        Dim cntlFtb As New CuteEditor.Editor





        Private Const ProviderType As String = "htmlEditor"





        Private _providerConfiguration As ProviderConfiguration = ProviderConfiguration.GetProviderConfiguration(ProviderType)


        Private _providerPath As String








        Public Sub New()





            Dim _portalSettings As PortalSettings = CType(HttpContext.Current.Items("PortalSettings"), PortalSettings)





            ' Read the configuration specific information for this provider


            Dim objProvider As Provider = CType(_providerConfiguration.Providers(_providerConfiguration.DefaultProvider), Provider)





            _providerPath = objProvider.Attributes("providerPath")





            'initialize the control


            cntlFtb.ImageGalleryPath = _portalSettings.UploadDirectory


            cntlFtb.MediaGalleryPath = _portalSettings.UploadDirectory


            cntlFtb.FilesPath = "Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/CuteEditorProvider/CuteEditor_files/"





            'cntlFtb.HelperFilesParameter = "tabid=" & _portalSettings.ActiveTab.TabId.ToString


            'cntlFtb.ButtonPath = "Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/FtbHtmlEditorProvider/Ftb/images/"


            cntlFtb.ID = "CuteEditorCntrl"


            cntlFtb.AutoConfigure = AutoConfigure.Default





            cntlFtb.Enabled = True





            'assign the initialized control as the HtmlEditorControl


            Me.HtmlEditorControl = cntlFtb


        End Sub








        Public ReadOnly Property ProviderPath() As String


            Get


                Return _providerPath


            End Get


        End Property








        'The Text, Width, and Height properties are retrieved and set by 


        'typing the HtmlEditorControl Web.UI.Control to FreeTextBoxControls.FreeTextBox


        'and accessing the FreeTextBox properties Text, Width, and Height


        Public Overrides Property Text() As String


            Get


                Text = CType(Me.HtmlEditorControl, CuteEditor.Editor).Text


            End Get


            Set(ByVal Value As String)


                CType(Me.HtmlEditorControl, CuteEditor.Editor).Text = Value


            End Set


        End Property





        Public Overrides Property Width() As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit


            Get


                Width = CType(Me.HtmlEditorControl, CuteEditor.Editor).Width


            End Get


            Set(ByVal Value As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit)


                CType(Me.HtmlEditorControl, CuteEditor.Editor).Width = Value


            End Set


        End Property





        Public Overrides Property Height() As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit


            Get


                Width = CType(Me.HtmlEditorControl, CuteEditor.Editor).Height


            End Get


            Set(ByVal Value As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit)


                CType(Me.HtmlEditorControl, CuteEditor.Editor).Height = Value


            End Set


        End Property





    End Class


End Namespace

Boskone created a FTB version 2 provider. Here's the link

thanks never gottten around to creating it but will give a whirl later

right now im realy into all the new telerik editor features. And telerik itself is real dnn dedicated too, they are working on providers and skinobjects for there menu, panelbar, tabstrip and editor

I'm interested in creating a RichTextBox (richtextbox.com) provider for DNN 3 but I would like to be able to integrate the gallery that is already a part of the new FTB.

Is that possible?

Have you had any luck in creating a richtextbox.com provider for DNN 3?  Were you able to integrate FTB's image gallery?

I just created a provider for FCKEditor and it is working fine, I am curretly developing the image gallery. I will post some news when it become ready.

It will be free.
