The latest version of Web Wiz Rich Text Editor v 3.0 beta 2 has been released. This latest update fixes the permission denied bug some older versions of IE suffered from. This new version on the surface, except for the 'Paste from Word' tool, looks identical to version 2.0, but underneath the code has been re-written to make it much simpler to integrate the Web Wiz Rich Text Editor into your own forms. The latest version allows you to take any HTML textarea and with just 4 lines of code turn it into a WYSIWYG Editor. Well at least that's the theory. No more messing with transferring data to an iframe. Any content, even HTML, within your forms textarea is automatically transferred to the RTE (WYSIWYG) Editor, making version 3.0 much simpler to integrate than previous versions. You can download the new version at:- http://www.richtexteditor.org/ - http://www.richtexteditor.org/ An on-line demo version can be seen at:- http://www.richtexteditor.org/beta - http://www.richtexteditor.org/beta ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Hi, We have a shopping cart software called http://www.ashopcommerce.com - www.ashopcommerce.com and use the older version of this rich text editor. We specifically need a flash file upload and can't find it in this new system. Do you know how we can enable this with the new beta version?
Thanks

There isn't support for flash file upload, this is something you would need to write yourself.

You can edit the 'configuration/RTE_setup_asp' file and tell the
editor to use the full URL path to things like images so it would be
'http://mydomain/image/image.jpg' Not sure what you mean by, 'Is there a way to control if textarea is empty?' ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Another cracking offering from WebWiz......... Just an idea, I fully appreciate the problems that you have with images paths, and you can't stick them in a sub directory, so a suggestion:
Could you rename all the asp files and directories which sit in the main directory to have an underscore at the front, this would mean that all the files for the RTE would be bunched together.
As soon as I add a file called Content_Add.asp, the file is immediately lost. At least if all files relating to the RTE were bunched together, it would allow you to see which files were there for the RTE, and which are for your web app????
What do you think????

I have tried to name all the files with either RTE or non-RTE in front
of them for version 3, so that they are all bunched together. The files with RTE in front are the files for RTE enabled browsers and the non-RTE files are for those browsers that are not RTE enabled. There are two other files that don't have this naming convention, one is the default.asp page and the other is the submission page, both these files are for example use and therefore can be deleted. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

This error drove me crazy for a good 45 minutes. RTE appears to work
correctly. I hit the "Preview " button and get a preview of a different
page in the site, not what is currently in the "RTE'd"text area. I
narrowed it down to the fact that I had the field in the form: <input type=hidden name=action id=action value="edit"> If I take that out the preview works fine. Pass the value thru a text box I still get the incorrect Preview. If I take the field out completely all is fine. Any ideas? |

The word 'action' is a reserved word in JavaScript and is used in the RTE to refer to the 'action' of the form.
Other ID names that can not be used are:-

Is this the version you're currently using on the 8.0 alpha1 forum here?
Noticed that as of a day or two ago, the text area in the rte is the default background color of the browser. Used to always be white regardless of the browser's default background. -------------

The background colour should be set to white, I'll have to look into it.

Found the problem, looks like for some reason IE wasn't picking up the backgroud-color style for the RTE textbox. I've now moved it, and it seems to work. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

A couple of questions. Can I use multiple instances of the rte within one form? Can the content be stored in a SQL database?
Any suggestions or guides on how to do the above?

You can not use mutiple RTE's on the same page. An SQL Server database can be used to store submitted data. Just create your HTML entery forms and the submit page that enters the data into the database as normal. Then follow the instructions that come with the RTE on how to apply the RTE to one of your textarea's transforming it into an RTE area ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Hi BoRg
Any likely date that V3 will become ready for live sites, It looks good to me and the integration is far simpler than V2. keep up the good work
Cheers

It kind of is ready. But having integrated it into this forum it allows more users to test it and from a few reports it sounds like a few minor changes are in order. I'm going to probably give it to early next week to see if any other problems are reported and if not I will release the full version. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Hi BoRg,
You will probably remember my problem with the hyperlink in RTE v3b2. I found the thing in my asp page that makes problem. It is the <a name="mylocation"> statement and the link href "#mylocation" to that location.
After I deleted the # stuff, hyperlinks are also working. Thanks for your help.

I've tried to MOD this so that it can be run from it's own folder. It was messy and overwrote some of my images & files otherwise. The first thing to do is add a new variable for the location of your installation. I put mine in a folder called RTE off my root folder.
Open RTE_configuration\RTE_Skin_file.asp
Go Line 54 & change:
'Path to button images
Dim strImagePath = "images/" to:
'Path to button images
Const strRTEPath = "rte/" Dim strImagePath strImagePath = strRTEPath & "images/"
(this fixes the images in the toolbars)
Then open RTE_javascript.asp
Line 202: src=""includes/RTE_iframe_colour_palette.asp""
Becomes: src=""" & strRTEPath & "includes/RTE_iframe_colour_palette.asp"" Do the same thing for lines 207, 212, 217 (this adds our installation path for our popups).
The open up includes\RTE_toolbar_inc.asp
Do a search and replace on winOpener(\'
so that it becomes winOpener(\'" & strRTEPath & "
There should be 10 replacements, again this fixes the path to our popups windows.
Finally go into RTE_editor_inc.asp itself
Before Line 66 add in the path to our installation
Const strRTEPath = "rte/"
Now we can use that on the following lines to point to the correct javascript include files.
Line 67: Response.Write("<link href=""RTE_configuration/default_style.css"" rel=""stylesheet"" type=""text/css"" />")
becomes: Response.Write("<link href=""" & strRTEPath & "RTE_configuration/default_style.css"" rel=""stylesheet"" type=""text/css"" />") Line 68: Response.Write(vbCrLf & "<script language=""JavaScript"" src=""/RTE_javascript_common.asp"" type=""text/javascript""></script>")
Becomes: Response.Write(vbCrLf & "<script language=""JavaScript"" src=""" & strRTEPath & "RTE_javascript_common.asp"" type=""text/javascript""></script>") Line 75: Response.Write(vbCrLf & "<script language=""JavaScript"" src=""/RTE_javascript.asp?textArea=" & Server.URLEncode(strTextAreaName) & """ type=""text/javascript""></script>")
becomes: Response.Write(vbCrLf & "<script language=""JavaScript"" src=""" & strRTEPath & "RTE_javascript.asp?textArea=" & Server.URLEncode(strTextAreaName) & """ type=""text/javascript""></script>") It works for me like this although I've not tested it very thoroughly and i've noticed that thigns like the image browser still need a little tweaking. I've no doubt missed some other things as well, but hopefully people who wish to run the RTE like this will find this a good start. Perhaps even -borg- if you want can change the main installation to do this as I think most people will find it easier not have the files in their main application folder.
And indeed thanks for yet another wonderful application.

I did spend about 30 hours trying to make it so it could run in it's own folder but there where to many path issues. Problems with image and files occur with iserting images, uploading files, the file browser, saving files, and even when you submit the form there are many issues with paths. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| Yeah I guess what I did was only a small part of what was necessary to get the whole thing working. I'm not using the image insert or file upload myself for what I'm using it for just now so I hadn't looked at those parts of it very much. I'll probably keep working on it though and will post a more complete MOD later on if people want it. |
