Your preview problem you mention could be to do with the names of the
form fields in the page you are integrating the RTE into are
conflicting.
Being able to save to sub folders would require quite a re-write

Thanks for the tip -
I had my form tag like this -
<Form name="myForm">
and changing it to this fixed the problem.
<Form name="myForm" method="post">
Thanks

 Ok, then you should say that in the beginning. I am a fairly
observant individual and I can follow instructions. The instructiions
are sadly lacking with this addon. How about a basic, step by step
instruction sheet to install it in the current 7.9?
I downloaded the zip file and unzipped it maintaining its
directory structure to my forum directory, now, the asp page it says I
need to edit doesn't even exist on my server.
The instructions make no sense and I don't like people telling me I'm an idiot when I'm trying to use their software. |
Ok, I feel like an arse. I totally exploded here without reading the
whole thread. Please accept my apology. Apparently I was having a very
bad day. I left my original post in quotes so this post made sense. If
I'm wrong, I'll say I'm wrong.
I'll just wait for Vs. 8, you're right, I don't have the expertise to do this.

If you are reffering to web wiz forums 7.9 then the Web Wiz RTE v3 will
not work without allot of modification due to the permissions system in
the forum and the present RTE is actually part of the forum code.

I have read through the install intructions just to check they are
correct and it doesn't mention any file names, the only file name it
has is an example file name for a file created by yourself (eg.
my_form_page.asp).
This file is not within the RTE zip file as it is an example of a file name you need to create. The line says:-
The web page that contains the HTML textarea you wish to turn into an RTE textarea must
have an .asp extension (eg. my_form_page.asp) |
This line just says that the file (you have cerated) that contains the
form you wish to be changed into the RTE area needs a .asp extension,
and then gives an example name, it's not a real file name.
If this is coursing people confusion then I will remove the example file name from the instructions.

I have re-written the install intructions of the RTE to try and make it simpler to understand.
However, as the creator of the application my inside knowledge of the
application means that any install intructions I write maybe a bit
difficult for some users to understand.
I have asked a few times if someone with less knowledge of the RTE
could write some install instructions for me, but no-one has offered
any help with this.
Anyway, here is what I have as the updated install intructions, if you
have any comments on how I can improve them further please let me know:-
new install instructions wrote:
Integration of Web Wiz Rich Text Editor (RTE)
===========================================================================================
1. Due to problems that image, link, etc. paths can course, the RTE files, and sub folders, need
to be placed in the same folder as contains the web page you wish to include the RTE within.
2. The web page that contains the HTML textarea you wish to turn into an RTE textarea must
have an .asp extension (eg. my_own_form_file.asp (this is an example file name and not a real
file)
3. Your HTML textarea needs to be part of a form if you wish to post the user entered data to
the server. The form must also use the POST method to send the form data to the server.
3. The following onLoad event must be placed into the <body> tag of the page to initialise the
RTE textarea:-
onLoad="initialiseWebWizRTE();"
An exmaple would be:-
<body OnLoad="initialiseWebWizRTE();">
4. The following must be copy and pasted into your web page immediately above the HTML textarea
you wish to turn into an RTE textarea (the HTML textarea can have pre filled content if you wish):-
<%
'Name of the HTML form the textarea is within
strFormName = ""
'ID tag name of HTML textarea being replaced
strTextAreaName = ""
%>
<!-- include the Web Wiz Rich Text Editor -->
<!--#include file="RTE_editor_inc.asp" -->
5. You are almost done, but before you can use the RTE you need to edit a couple of the
lines above you have just copyied and pasted into your web page to initialise the variables
with the name of the HTML form the HTML textarea is within and the ID tag of the HTML textarea.
5.1. Change the 'strFormName' variable shown below to place between the quotes ("") the
name of the form that the HTML textarea is within (eg. strFormName = "myForm"):-
strFormName = ""
If your form doesn't have a name then place name="myForm" within the form tag
5.2. Change the 'strTextAreaName' variable shown below to place between the quotes ("")
the ID name of the HTML
textarea that you wish to turn into the RTE textarea (eg. if the
textarea has ID="myTextarea" you would use strTextAreaName = "myTextarea"):-
strTextAreaName = ""
If your textarea doesn't have an ID then place ID="myTextarea" with the textarea tag
6. Thats it, your new RTE textarea is ready to use :-)
Hopefully the instructions above were not to hard to follow. If you have problems checkout
the free support forum at:-
http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_topics.asp?FID=17
Being the developer, with to much inside knowledge of the application, sometimes it can be hard
to write instructions for beginners to understand, so if you can improve on the above please
drop an email to Web Wiz Guide and let me know. Thanks.

Well, open mouth, insert foot.
I just posted an apology to my original post. I didn't read the entire thread and got mad. That's not your fault.
I do appreciate the extra instructions and I will try again. I think
you are right though, I probably don't have the necessary knowledge to
successfully complete this. I'll probably just wait for it in VS 8.
PS, you can expect my payment for registration shortly. I do think you
have the best forum solution for my needs and I am looking forward to
fully implementing it.

I downloaded and isntalled the demo version of the RTE and I really like the easy integration and the light source code.. but I don't like how it seems to need a lot of other scripts to run basic features.
Do I need ASP Upload to use the upload feature and are there other functions that use external scripts (besides spell check).
Thanks,
James
