Hi!

There is a serious bug in the 2.0.1 beta concerning switching of editors. When you have switched to the basic editor, you cannot switch back, because of a javascript error (FCKeditorAPI is undefined).

As far as I could tell, the FCKeditor control is initialized, but the containing panel is hidden. Nonetheless the control registers an OnSubmit statement, that tries to update FCKeditor's linked field. This statement fails and prohibits the postback.

Is there any workaround or will there be a timely fix for this?

Regards
Christoph

Plase tell me what are you talking about when saying "basic editor"??  Basic toolbar in the FCKeditor?

I'm talking about the radio buttons above the texteditor: "Basic Text Box" and "Rich Text Editor". When you have switched to "Basic Text Box" (not FCKeditor but a simple <textarea>), switching back to "Rich Text Editor" fails as explained above.

As far as I've been able to analyze the situation, the problem is the RegisterOnSubmitStatement call in the Fckeditor control. The panel containing the RichTextEditor in the DotNetNuke.UI.UserControls.TextEditor control is hidden at latest in the control's OnLoad() method. It occurs in the SetPanels() method, which is, in turn, called by  optRender_SelectedIndexChanged() and OnLoad(). Thus, it should be possible to move the RegisterOnSubmitStatement call to the Fckeditor control's OnPreRender method and have it check, if any of the parent controls are not visible. If one isn't, the OnSubmitStatement should not be registered.

An alternative approach would be to perform a check in JS whether the FCKeditorAPI is defined. This is more of a "symptom-fighting" approach, but should also work.

Christoph

I just test in 2 different sites and saw no problems.

Can you give more information about the DNN version you are testing in, ajax, IIS and other HOST settings?

B.T.W. Those radio buttons are part of the editor control in DNN and not the editor provider. So please also check the version of your current text/html module

Also, please give us detailed step by step instructions to reproduce the behavior. I will give priority to those tests because I want to continue in the round to 3.x
