Hi all,

I'd like to add a FreeTextBox (http://www.freetextbox.com/) to a module so I can allow my users to style their text.  Has anyone done this successfully?  I've added one to a regular .net web page but not a DNN module.

Also, I'm open to alternatives like the default DNN content editor. 

Tips and suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

FreeTextBox used to be DNN default HTML editor in DNN 2 and 3, but got substituted by FckEditor, which had better features. Default richtext editor now is Telerik RAD, but there is also an excellent provider for CKEditor (successor of FCK), you may download for free from http://dnnckeditor.codeplex.com.

Patrick,

I can't compile my module because it's generating the following error:

"'System.Web.UI.UserControl' does not contain a definition for 'Text' and no extension method 'Text' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.UserControl' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

When I look through the DNN install files, I see the exact same code being used on core pages and they too have the same error although I don't attempt to compile the entire site.

What am I missing to make this work?

Thanks,
Mark
