Well.... it's me, new guy [again]. Hopefully I don't find the answer right after I post like last time.

 

I have an existing form with a textarea in place right now. I want to simply replace the textarea with the cuteeditor, and not have to change the app (the form is simply POSTed right now).

I should clarify that I have deployed the editor with no problem, and it draws in the page, I am able to manipulate HTML, etc... just need to know the quick way to submit it with the other form fields...
 

What is the easiest way to get there? Anyone have some sample code they would share?

 

Thanks very much.

I assume this should be straightforward functionality, as the second paragraph of the product info page states:

 

It enables ASP.NET Web developers to replace the Textarea in your existing content management system with a powerful, but easy to use WYSIWYG HTML editing component.

Let use the original IbuySpy portal as an example.

In the following example we replace a textbox control in the EditHtml.aspx into a rich text editor.

 

1.deploying the CuteEditor.dll assembly and license file

Copy the CuteEditor.dll and the CuteEditor.lic to the \bin directory for the web application that uses the CuteEditor. 




2. Deploying the CuteEditor Client files

The "CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor" folder and all file it contains (you can find in the download package) should be deployed to http://{your site}/{your application}/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/ on your web site.

If you want to deploy the CuteEditor Client file to a different location, you will have to make sure that you set your editor FilesPath property correctly. The control expects to find the all the files and images in the files directory specified by the control FilesPath property.

 

3. Open the IBuySpy Project and edit the file "EditHtml.aspx" in the "./DesktopModules" folder.

Add the CuteEditor Register directive at the top:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="CE" Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor" %>

 

   Replace the textbox:

   <asp:TextBox id="DesktopText" columns="75" width="650" rows="12" textmode="multiline" runat="server" />

   With CuteEditor:                                            

  <CE:Editor id="DesktopText " runat="server"></CE:Editor>

Hope this example helps.

Keep me posted.
