Not sure which forum this should be targetting, but this one seems the most likely option.

Back in January I was using DNN 4.9.5. When I placed a photo into a html module whilst using the images properties dialog box I could not only select the image, but I could also make a hyperlink allowing the image to be shown at larger size in a new window when clicked.

Pretty basic stuff. Now fast forward to today. I have a brand new install of DNN 5.6.1 and I'm trying to do the same thing and failing miserably. The image toolbar button no longer has the secondary tab where you could enter the hyperlink information!!!

Ok, that's progress... Let's move with the times. So I assumed that the image button does images and hyperlink button does hyperlinks and never the twain shall meet.

So, I highlighted my embedded image and clicked the hyperlink button hoping that I could then record the hyperlink instructions. But no, the hyperlink manager does not allow you to browse to images, only documents, and in this new version of the editor an image is not a document.

If I'm doing something wrong please put me out of my misery. This should be pretty basic stuff, so why is it so much more difficult since the days of DNN 4.9.5. I've wasted a stupied amount of time on this and I can't belive it should be this difficult... it never used to be!

Many thanks

Hi Sebastian

I've discovered that the default editor can be changed from the following link:
http://chayadigital.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/revert-dnn-5-to-the-fck-editor/

By Changing

        <htmlEditor defaultProvider=”TelerikEditorProvider“> to <htmlEditor defaultProvider=”FckHtmlEditorProvider“>

However, does DNN 5.61 ship with the provider for reinstating FCK Editor as compared to DNN 5.4 web configs, I don't see to have any provider information in my config file. Does mean I'd have to install it?

With regards to the other editors mentioned, do you now if the ability to insert images and make them hyperlinks is any easier than it was before? I don't want to clog up my clean DNN install with failed editors. Which editor do you favour?

Many thanks

Steve

Thanks Sebastian, wise words as usual.
