Wow... Great!  This one slipped right by me and I wanted it, needed it and for $9 bucks, it's a steal.

Telerik offers a way and details to use a RadEditor in a text box and I we use this in our mojoPortal  feature.

I know after reading here that this plug-in does not do everything yet, but what a great kick start!

Order on the way.

Thanks so much Joe.

Hi Joe

Just installed on a new fresh install.
mojoportal-2-3-5-2-mssql-net40-deploymentfile
Windows 2008 Server IIS 7 Integrated Pipeline Mode
Dot.net 4.0
Latest Telerik.Web.UI.dll from the Bin40

Followed all directions.  changed User and Web.Config

From mojpPortal Site Admin The dropdown now included The Telerik Editor.
I selected it.  Saved.  When I when to edit a pages content I got these errors.

2010-09-19 21:44:07,970 ERROR mojoPortal.Web.mojoBasePage - 96.45.104.2-en-US - /HtmlEdit.aspx?mid=1&pageid=1

maybe I'm missing something?

Hi Joe

Today I upgraded a different site from Dot.Net 3.5 to Dot.Net 4.0 with the new version 2.3.5.3 MSSQL that you just released.

I tried IIS 7 with a Classic Application pool this time and the upgrade went fine.

Then I followed the instructions extra careful for IIS 7 with a Classic.  I checked all files copied in and had read access.

For both IIS setups I followed the instructions in this video..

http://www.mojoportal.com/manual-installation-in-iis-75-with-mssql.aspx

and had to use NETWORK SERVICE instead of ApplicationPoolIdentity in the IIS pools.
I checked the Telerik dll and it was for Dot.NET 4.

I stopped and started the pool in IIS

Again, the Telerik Editor option shows up in the drop down and saves, but when I open a page to edit, I get the same errors??

Ok, I figured it out. I released the mojoRadGlue Editor provider on August 16 and it was compiled against the version of Telerik available then which was version 2010.2.713.40

On August 26 Telerik released a new version 2010.2.826.40

so you need to add this to the web.config inside the <configuration section but not inside any other section, to map it to the newer version.

<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
   <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.Web.UI"
       publicKeyToken="121fae78165ba3d4" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="2010.2.713.40"
  newVersion="2010.2.826.40" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

and for any future version of Telerik you will have to keep changing it to map to the new version.

Note that the versions shown above are for .NET 4 and would be different for .NET 3.5, the last 2 digits seem to indicate the .NET version so for 3.5 it would be like this:

<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
   <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.Web.UI"
       publicKeyToken="121fae78165ba3d4" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="2010.2.713.35"
  newVersion="2010.2.826.35" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

Best,

Joe

Hi Rick,

Thanks as always for the beers! Most appreciated!

It is possible/likely that whenever I make any new release of the editor provider I will compile it against a newer version of Telerik than the one I used for the initial release.

Let's say for example that I went ahead today and made a new release compiled against the new version. In that case the setting in your web.config doesn't need to change but is not needed anymore. That setting would only be used if a component is asking for that specific version of Telerik then it would allow giving it a different version, but if my new version of mojoRadGlue is asking for the version you already have in the bin then no assembly redirect binding is needed but that old setting in Web.config isn't hurting anything.

But as long as you continue to use the current version of mojoRadGlue that you have, you will only need to edit the newVersion settings whenever you get a newer version of Telerik. I'm not expecting to make lots of releases to mojoRadGlue, but it is likely there will be some updates to it over time.

Best,

Joe
