Hi

I think there should be a place where Settings, Tips and Issues concerning the radeditor
can be placed so the community can help each other maybe something like this already exists then I am very sorry for placing this topic here and would love to hear where this location is so I can join the conversation there  for now I have some questions about the radeditor

I like the new editor very much its more robust and looks nicer than the previous versions

If I understand the view documents that I could find about it right I should go to Host>>html manager

And by CSS file enter /name of a CSS file where I set the text editor specific styles in the official documentation of this function is to put it in your skin root this actually doesn’t work when you have pop-ups enabled  to solve this issue you can put your CSS file in \Portals\_default\Skins\_default

Or you can choose to set pop-ups for the editor off this can be done at Host >> Extensions  >> installed Extensions  then edit the html extension go to the module definitions tab edit the edit  control  and set supports pop-ups to false   to let skin.css pickup this styles I @import the CSS file here  

I was wondering if there is a method  to  make the editor understand that it should exclude some styles from the list the reason I would love this functionality is because  in my experience the editor doesn’t show all styles from skin.css correctly and I don’t want a long list with all kind of strange styles in my dropdown list I want only .mystyle to show not a.mystyle li.mystyle  I was hoping changing the content area mode would solve this problem for me if I put it to div but that’s not the case it directly includes all styles in the list on the moment I am running  DNN 06.00.01  an am experiencing some difficulties with Firefox related to the editor it includes span tags at places  where they shouldn’t be I think but I heard this is solved in the new version I will test this in the future  

I probably forgot to mention a few things this time if I remember  I will place them in this topic  if someone out there has other questions issues or tips feel free to place them here if I know the answer I will reply to it  please keep in mind that I am in another time zone then most of you out there so it could cost me a few hours to react ;)

Thanks for the tip sorry for my late reaction I have been sick a few days

It’s a nice list of items and tips about editors in DNN

It is however at some points incorrect and outdated  but it still gives an insight where you might want to look to solve your problems it’s not  my intention to offend you with saying it incorrect or outdated I just want to mention it because at some points it is the outdated part is not so bad anyway because people with older versions need an editor to

“

·         Create a file called RadEditor.css in your portal root.

·         Copy all the content-specific styles from your skin into this file leaving out layout or module specific styles.  The editor will copy most of these already so only focus on ones needed in the styles drop down and overides for layout.

·         Be sure to add body,html{background-color:#fff;text-align:left;} to keep the editor area clean and usable.

·         Narrow the focus of the classes and IDs (For example, a ul specific style would be ul.MyStyle{...} not .MyStyle{...} ). This will allow the editor to put icons beside the style as visual cues for where and when to use the class.

·         The classes should be "declared" in a clean manner. The style ul.MyStyle li won’t make the parent ul style available. A rule like ul.MyStyle rule must exist first.

·         To apply the settings, Open:/Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/Telerik/Config/ConfigDefault.xml and add

this is one of my problems but maybe I don’t use the editor right in this aspect

like I described in my earlier post I don’t want to use an detailed approach like ul.MyStyle or I should say my boss doesn’t want this approach it makes the list to long and unclear I kind of agree to this but I do want to create specific styles for different elements that do get picked  the editor so it shows the content the way it’s going to be on the website the hard part about this is that it takes the styles up in the dropdown list if you add them to the editor.css  the most easy solution for this would be to add a comment in the editor.css something like /* not in list */ and everything after that is not included in the list I have looked for some function like this but I couldn’t find it so I suppose it isn’t there the next best thing would be to close al element tags out so ul.MyStyle is not going to show in the list after that there is one solution this is to put those styles in skin.css this takes them out of the list but is also doesn’t show in the editor which I don’t like  I have tried this with the new version now and am still experiencing these problems

there also seems to be a problem with the content area option of the html editor manager if you put this to div it doesn’t pick up the editor.css at all this is not related to my problem nor do I really care I just thought I mention it  so you can solve it for people who need that function

if you have further questions about my problems and the situation they happen in  or don’t understand what I mean I would love to hear so I can try to explain or add something  to my description also If you have questions about the editor or don’t understand something I will try my best to answer these questions and I am sure other people on this forum will also so don’t hesitate to ask
