Hello Team;

The following request, is a feature that everyone needs all the time. It is eMail mailmerge control.

Here how it works:
a) Just like a mailmege that has been around since the 80's, A user can use the editor to create the body/content of an email more like a template that will have tags/placeholders that at run time live data will replace them. This control can use the RADEditor to create such template. This template should be saved in order for the email Merge control to use.

b) The second part is the Mailmerge control - W should be able to attach it to a collection of objects (that these objects could have come from database), and each object could provide the FROM, TO, SUBJECT and for MESSAGE, it could use the template that user had created and saved. The Mailmerge will create new email for each object replacing place holders and sends email to SMTP server.

If you need more info, please contact me and I'll provide more info.

Please everyone, vote for this control/feature.
Thanks!

Due to this bug users cannot create HTML5 compliant pages with the RadEditor control.

To workaround the problem you can incorporate the JS method provided in this example:

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1">
    <Content>
        <nav>
            <ul><li>list item1
                </li></ul>
        </nav>
    </Content>
</telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">
    Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Utils.isBlockElement = function (element) {
        return this.checkForElement(element, /^(?:body|p|div|h[1-6]|form|fieldset|table|thead|tbody|tr|th|td|ul|ol|li|dl|blockquote|address|hr|nav)$/i);
    };
</script>

i am looking for an example how to handle an uploaded screenshot with the radeditor.
it is a great feature, one reason why i took telerik, but i can't find the documentation for that.
do you have a link where i can look it up ?

The current content filters of the RadEditor control supports XHTML content, in which attributes should have a proper value. Although with HTML5 the browsers started supporting boolean attributes that could be used without any type of value.

Such attributes are being stripped or replaced, which at some point leads to an incorrect behavior if the user's HTML code.

It would be useful if developers could have the ability to modify this behavior and generate correct HTML5 code.

A possible usage of such attributes is when they are used as XHTML5 valid attributes, with the proper value (e.g. disabled="disabled").

There are some areas within the RADEditor that do not support localization:

1. Alerts for Accept All and Reject All track changes.
2. The Comments user interface.
3. Certain strings in the Undo menu.

See attached.

Such feature will be a convenient availability for developers to create document templates and easy add HTML specified headers and footers 

Commonly, plain words are listed in a an MS Word document and full stops are added. Pasting such a list in the editor will cause them to appear with upper-alpha type list and no text in the list item.

The following code snippet further modifies the convert() method of the ConvertWordLists logic to encode and decode such full stops. You can use it as  a temporary workaround to resolve this issue.
<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"></telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">
	var originalConvert = Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.WordListConverter.prototype.convert;

	Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.WordListConverter.prototype.convert = function (htmlText) {
		// Encode the full stops only if they are after words with 2 or more characters.
		htmlText = htmlText.replace(/(\w{2,})[.]/gim, "$1_TELERIK_DOT_");
		htmlText = originalConvert.call(this, htmlText);
		// Decode the full stops.
		htmlText = htmlText.replace(/_TELERIK_DOT_/gm, ".");

		return htmlText;
	}
</script>

Make sure that this script block is placed right after the RadEditor declaration, so that the WordListConverter is properly created.

RadEditor Find/Replace functionalities are not working in IE.


The following workaround could be used temporarily:
<script type="text/javascript">
            var $T = Telerik.Web.UI;
            Telerik.Web.UI.RadEditor.prototype.setActive = function () {
                if (this._emptyMessageContainer) this._hideEmptyMessage();
                if ($telerik.isIE && this.getSelection().isControl()) return;
                var curArea = this.get_mode() == $T.EditModes.Html ? this._getTextArea() : this.get_contentArea();
                if (curArea && curArea.setActive) curArea.setActive();
            };
            Telerik.Web.UI.RadEditor.prototype.setActiveIfElementIsNotInContent = function () {
                if (this._emptyMessageContainer) this._hideEmptyMessage();
                if ($telerik.isIE && this.getSelection().isControl()) return;
                var curArea = this.get_mode() == $T.EditModes.Html ? this._getTextArea() : this.get_contentArea();
                var activeElement = this.get_document().activeElement;
                var activeElementIsInContent = (activeElement && activeElement === curArea) || $.contains(curArea, activeElement);
                if (curArea && curArea.setActive && !activeElementIsInContent) {
                    curArea.setActive();
                }
            };

        </script>

When RadEditor is set with width of 100% switching to Full Screen mode and going back from Full Screen to the initial mode, the content area becomes only few lines high.

The following temporary solution should resolve the layout issue for common scenarios:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="txtComments" runat="server" Width="100%" 
	OnClientCommandExecuted="OnClientCommandExecuted">
</telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">
	function OnClientCommandExecuted(sender, args) {
		if (args.get_commandName() === "ToggleScreenMode") {
			sender.repaint();
		}
	}
</script>

The layout of the editor's dialogs break when CSS for Window's lightweight mode are appended. This causes unavailability for the developers to use the  lightweight  feature of the Window

The JS error also causes the tool to break, and all table-related tools are not available in RibbonBar mode.

The area shapes in Image Map Editor dialog couldn't be moved or resized in Internet Explorer 11.

When the commands "Insert Date", "Insert Time" and "Insert Symbol" are used, the content that is inserted via these commands is not cleared upon clicking Undo.

The FormatPainter command is not applying Bold, Italic and Underline formatting to the content in Firefox.

In Internet Explorer only underline is not applied.

When you set RadEditor with ContentAreaMode="Div" and start entering a list under IE7 (this includes IE7 mode and Compatibility mode), the list items after the first one will not be displayed in Design view.

The following workaround should allow you to avoid the problem until it is resolved:

        <script type="text/javascript">
            function OnClientCommandExecuted(editor, args) {
                if ($telerik.isIE7) {
                    editor.repaint();
                }
            }
        </script>
        <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"
            OnClientCommandExecuted="OnClientCommandExecuted">
        </telerik:RadEditor>

When RadEditor is configured with ContentAreaMode="Div", its content area is focused and it is empty, the control will not release the focus on pressing "Tab" under Chrome.

When some text is pasted in the content of the editor and the ContentAreaMode="Div" property I set, the cursor should be after the pasted content. 

A possible resolution is changing the ContentAreaMode to iframe.

The duplicated attributes breaks the embedded flash objects, when their HTML content is exported into an actual document.

A possible resolution is to enable the ConvertToXhtml filter.

When the modules are removed from the code behind, the editor's content are is set with higher height value, than expected. This causes the editor's layout to break. 

Possible resolution is to attach a custom Client-side function on the OnClientLoad event of the editor, which invokes the onParentNodeChanged() method. Please follow the following example setup:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="PageContent" runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad">
</telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">
	function OnClientLoad(editor, args) {
		editor.onParentNodeChanged();
	}
</script>
