and its an issue in this very editor window that i am typing in

 

If you type some text, then press the hyperlink button, all is well...

 

but what about if i just want to enter a hyperlink right here where i point to >>>    

 

people are getting confused in that they absolutely positively have to type text, then highlight, then press the hyperlink

 

there should be some provision for "i want to add a hyperlink, so i'll just press the hyperlink button to do so"

I'm confused by this post... you want a hyperlink from nothing or a blank space or what?

be able to say the text in the hyperlink modal

 

because people are massively confused by the three step process.....

 

and i only make this suggestion because this is the only editor i have ever seen that doesn't allow that (and i've tested at least 30 different editors before i purchased this one)

you mean like in word?

 when you paste a hyper link into the document, it automatically makes that link to a link?

What i mean:

take for instance Revjon's FreeTextBox (and this is just one of as i said before 20-ish WYSIWYG editors i tested)

 

if you don't have any highlighted text, even if you don't type anything yet, and click the hyperlink button... when you enter a hyperlink, it inserts something at least....  this editor does absolutely nohting, nothing that can be seen anyways, and it's very confusing to the end user on "why didn't anything happen?"

 

Anyways, we'll see if this image i made up last night helps explain it to my many members

sgilboy,

 

You Have A Good Point. Revjon's FreeTextBox uses a built-in MSHTML function to handle insert link (CuteEditor uses this feature in the earlier version as well).

 

Due to the limitation of this built-in function, we decided to create a pop-up windows to allow the end users specify the new windows, the link color, title.  But it does have the shortcoming as you pointed out. I will work on this tonight.

 

By the way, I noticed  the appearance of your CuteEditor is quite nice. Can you post your code here?

sgilboy,

 

I just wrote a fix for this. And I've tested it. It works. You can test it in our online demo.

 

In WinIE.js, you will find the following code from line 481 to line 494.

 

if (FSrc&&(selectedRange.htmlText != "")) {      editor.document.execCommand("unlink");      var sHTML = '<a href='      + FSrc['href']      + attr("target", FSrc['Target'])      + attr("Title", FSrc['Title'])      + attr("Title", FSrc['Title'])      + (FSrc['linkcolor'] ? attr("style", "color:"+FSrc['linkcolor']) : "")      + '>'      + selectedRange.htmlText      + '</a>';      insertHTML(editing.EditorID,sHTML); }

 

Please replace it with the following code:

 

if (FSrc) {       var temp;       if (selectedRange.htmlText != "")            temp = selectedRange.htmlText;       else            temp = FSrc['href'];       editor.document.execCommand("unlink");       var sHTML = '<a href='       + FSrc['href']       + attr("target", FSrc['Target'])       + attr("Title", FSrc['Title'])       + attr("Title", FSrc['Title'])       + (FSrc['linkcolor'] ? attr("style", "color:"+FSrc['linkcolor']) : "")       + '>'      + temp      + '</a>';      insertHTML(editing.EditorID,sHTML);  }

 

Thanks for pointing it out. I will add it to the next release.

excellent.......  see thing is.. my site isn't full of the most internet savy people.. they are car people  :)

 

My setup code for "forum use", the ".Template" addition was an excellenet excellent addition to this editor.. makes it that much better

 

Private Sub SetUpEditBox()

      Dim strTemp As String = ""

      strTemp += "Cut,Copy,Paste,PasteText,Separator," & _

              "Bold,Italic,Underline,FontColor,HighLight,Hr,Separator," & _

              "Emotion,InsertTable,ImageGalleryByBrowsing,Link,Unlink,RemoveFormat"

      EditBox.Width = System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Percentage(100)

      EditBox.Template = strTemp

      EditBox.ShowLogo = False

      EditBox.ShowHtmlMode = CheckThisUserRole("Level3")

      If UserHasPersonalImageDirectory() Then

            EditBox.AllowUpload = True

            EditBox.ImageGalleryPath = "/images/users/" & GetMyUsername.toLower()

      Else

            EditBox.AllowUpload = False

      End If

      EditBox.DropDownListStyle = "font-family: verdana; font-size: 10px;"
End Sub

 

 

Adam, any chance you may point out where a little fix can be made to filter out directories like "_vti_cnf" in the image gallery stuff?  or is that inside the DLL  (i could look but its a heck of a lot of code, lol)

sgilboy,

 

Thanks for the code. Can you post your style sheet as well?

That's inside the DLL.  You have a good point. All those directories like "_vti_cnf" should be filtered out in the image gallery. I will add this to the next release.
