Can't understand how to use. Where are the other RTE FileS?
RE: ?
July 4, 2002 by Bill Chalmers

When you insert the editor onto a page it creates some code on the current page and also creates a folder in the current site called RTE_files with all the necessary bits and bobs to make the editor work, you can then use the editor to do Insert's / Updates etc on dynamic content, I will be creating some tutorials soon on the use of the editor.

Please contact me directly if you are having specific problems with this extension.

Crashes my Ultradev :(
July 10, 2002 by Emily Holmes

This looks like an awesome extension, but it crashes Ultradev every single time I try to work on a page containing the editor, or any of the editor files themselves. I'm running UD4 on XP.

Anyone else having this problem?

Hi Bill,

Take a look here for a very-very good upload script (asp). The script is like Explorer, and provides u a way for Upload, rename, delete etc.

The main web site is www.web-sn.com

They do a great Job, and they have an Editor that can save in HTML files, that script that could be an File content manager AND THE BEST OF ALL, THEY INTEGRATED ALL SCRIPTS TO WORK TOGETHER

 

Cheers, keep the good work!

RE: RE: RE: ?
July 28, 2002 by Bill Chalmers
Very nice editor, unfortunately, this one is done with ACTIVEX, as for the upload script, its very nice, but not open-source, its based on an article from www.asp101.com, which I have tested on my machine and didn't work, but I am becoming increasingly suspicious that there is something wrong with my server setup, I will have to find another machine to test the asp upload scripts on.
RE: RE: RE: RE: ?
July 28, 2002 by Bogdan Zagan

I just want to let u know that their Editor is also Active X.

The idea that is great is to integrate the Editor with the Files Management Content.

This way you will not be obliged to write the path to the Image, or to the link etc.

Cheers

Awesome

Now it's working fine (1.2). One of the best extensions ever! Thanks!
Preview doesn't work !
August 13, 2002 by Dennis van Galen
Tried it, doesn't work
August 15, 2002 by pc pete

Keep getting error 'Richeditor is undefined', even with version 1.2, and it insists on putting its files in the root directory rather than in the same directory as the html file its being inserted into, and breaking all its links.

Lots of promise, and I did really want it to work, but for now I've binned it, and gone back to the pd_editor.

I need access at the objet richedit from the open window
August 27, 2002 by Emir TreviƱo

Hello,

I need acces from window.open and paste code in richedit . For example this tool for add comments, where a window is opened to use a search motor, to find an image and to paste it.

example:
in the case the other editor, the function is:
function cpiar(id_imagen)
{
if(window.opener)
{
var url_img = document.all.
iid_imagen.value;
eval("window.opener.document.frames.myContenido.document.frames.texmyContenido.document.body.innerHTML+=('<IMG src='+url_img+' border=0 >')");
self.close();
}
}

but in the richeditor the object is document.all.richedit.docHtml ????

but not work..... helpme please, i need acces

 

RE: I need access at the objet richedit from the open window
August 27, 2002 by Bill Chalmers
Check out the latest version of the richtext editor on sourceforge, version 3 beta, this includes a file test_embedded.asp which shows you how to open a new window to paste code into the richeditor, I am going to update the dreamweaver extension with this code pretty soon.

RE: Quick Question
September 11, 2002 by Bill Chalmers
Aron found out what the problem was, when you are going through the wizard to insert RTE, and you get to the stage to insert form elements, dont enclose the label in quotes.
Works
September 12, 2002 by pc pete

Yes, I did say in a previous post that it doesn't work. I've just downloaded version 1.5, and its excellent! Well done!

One minor point...it creates a directory called RTE_files, then refers to it in the code as RTE_Files; this causes it to break on Unix servers because the files cannot be found. Renaming the directory seems to cure the problems.

Can't install/reinstall it ?
September 17, 2002 by Helle M

Hi,

I use the 1.2 version - and it seems to work fine. Then I tried to install the 1.5 verion, but got an error message. I then uninstalled the 1.2 version and then thought the new version would install fine - but no. It kept saying something about "can't update ....bla bla"

So - I'm back to version 1.2

Just thought I would say it, maybe others have has same experience

RE: Can't install/reinstall it ?
September 17, 2002 by Bill Chalmers
It appears ver 1.5 only currently support MX, not UD, I am trying to fix that issue, apologies for any trouble this may have caused.
RE: RE: Can't install/reinstall it ?
September 18, 2002 by Helle M

Hi Bill,

Okay, I found that out too :-) I have both MX and UD installed. Do you know if anybody ever figured out how to apply a stylesheet to the content of the insert/update text box? That the only issue I really miss?

Helle :-)

September 25, 2002 by aron palmer

RE: RE: RE: I found a small problem
October 7, 2002 by Bill Chalmers

Yes, this is a bug that occurs in the getFieldEx method in rte_interface.js, I am cuurently debugging this.

RE: RE: RE: RE: I found a small problem
October 7, 2002 by aron palmer

This has now been fixed, download the latest version of rte_interface.js from sourceforge cvs tree http://sourceforge.net/projects/richtext.
RTE customization
November 15, 2002 by Arnaud VATEL

Hi Bill,

Let's say I add a drop down menu in the RTE interface.
What should I do to be able to insert the value of the selected item in the text window ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

RE: RTE customization
November 17, 2002 by Arnaud VATEL

Hi Bill,

don't worry about that. I have the solution.
I found the function 'insert html()' in rte.js and used it.

Great editor
December 13, 2002 by Eduard Wustenveld

Hi there,

I'm familiair with this editor, I first saw it on richtext.sourceforge.net. I have done some developing for it to and send it to the original creator at sourceforge. I saw that nothing has been done with it yet. I don't know if Bill Chalmers already has the newest files but this are the changes I made to rte:

  • New Insert Hyperlink dialogbox,
    now it is possible to create the target for the hyperlink, so now you can open a new window or open it in the same frame
  • Altered the Insert Image,
    Made a Image Gallery for it
  • Added the Dutch Language
  • Altered table functions,
    Now you can create tables with a border="0" and still see the table and table-cells

If the author of this extension wants to have the sourcecode he can e-mail me. I use the editor in a Content Management System I'm developing for our customers. And all the people who are using this application are very enthusiastic about the HTML Editor!

RE: Great editor
December 13, 2002 by Bill Chalmers
Excellent Eduard, I am also a developer on the sourceforge team, if Austin (the project leader) accepts your changes, I will get them from the CVS tree on sourceforge.
RE: RE: Great editor
December 16, 2002 by aron palmer

Ohhh cool thats great.

I know this might sound pushy but i have been hanging out for ages for the new editor to come along and these updates address some of the issues i have.  When will this be out.

 

Aron.

is there any way we can get the files of sorceforge or do we need to wait for a admin to aprove them.

Can not install????
March 5, 2003 by Helle M

I deleted the older version, and tried to install ver. 1.5, but got a message:

Can not update a file??

Helle :-(

RE: Can not install????
March 6, 2003 by Bill Chalmers
Sorry Helle, 1.5 only works in MX, 1.2 works in UD, I am trying to fix it so that 1.5 will work in UD4 as well as MX
RE: RE: Can not install????
March 6, 2003 by Helle M
Okay- that's why *ss*
I also have MX installed, so I surpose I could have both versions installed (1.2 - 1.5)

Helle :-)
Workaround
March 6, 2003 by Mikey McCorry

Hi. I couldn't fix the problem with the new rte_interface.js, but a workaround I've found that works quite well is placing

div style="display:none"
... and ...
/div

(of course you'll have to put the angle brackets around them) around the bottom form elements. This hides them at the bottom of the RTE interface without, without hiding them in the actual RTE. Hope this helps someone.

Using dreamweaver MX and RTE 1.2.0

RE: Do I have the right version?
August 7, 2003 by Bill Chalmers
Cindy, 1.2.0 and 1.5.0 differ slightly, in the tutorial the buttons make look different, but carry on with the tutorial as best you can ignoring any small discrepancies, however if you are using dreamweaver MX then 1.5.0 is probably the better version to use as this has a small amount of new features.
RE: RE: Do I have the right version?
August 7, 2003 by Royce Cano
What should I do regarding the Text Feilds called Text and xhtml? Where does the page text actually go? Sorry for the lame questions.
