FCKeditor and data bound control

sophia · February 21st, 2010, 09:23 AM

Hello everyone,
I am using FCKeditor, which is demonstrated in CMS. The control is working as intended in CMS application but when I am using the same Control in other application then it fails. I think this is because of Details view (data bound control). Is not fckeditor supportable with data bound controls? If I am right then is there any other method to resolve it? Or if I wrong then can anybody tell me what is wrong with the code that I am using?

Code:

<asp:DetailsView ID="DetailsView1" runat="server" 
            AutoGenerateRows="False" CellPadding="4" DataKeyNames="Id" 
            DataSourceID="News" DefaultMode="Insert" >
            <Fields>
                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Subject" SortExpression="Subject">
                    <EditItemTemplate>
                      
                        <FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor ID="txtSubject" runat="server" BasePath="../FCKeditor/" ToolbarSet="Basic" Height="50px" Value='<%# Bind("Subject") %>'>
                        </FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor>
                     </EditItemTemplate>
                    <InsertItemTemplate>
                        <FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor ID="txtSubject" runat="server" BasePath="../FCKeditor/" ToolbarSet="Basic" Height="50px" Value='<%# Bind("Subject") %>'>
                        </FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor>
                       <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvSubject" runat="server" 
                            ControlToValidate="txtSubject" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="[Required]" 
                            SetFocusOnError="True" ValidationGroup="Insert"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                    </InsertItemTemplate>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Subject") %>'></asp:Label>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Body" SortExpression="Body">
                    <EditItemTemplate>
                        <FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor ID="txtBody" runat="server" ToolbarSet="CMS" BasePath="../FCKeditor/" Height="200px" Width="600px" Value='<%# Bind("Body") %>'>
                        </FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor>
                    </EditItemTemplate>
                    <InsertItemTemplate>
                        <FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor ID="txtBody" runat="server" ToolbarSet="CMS" BasePath="../FCKeditor/" Height="200px" Width="600px" Value='<%# Bind("Body") %>'>
                        </FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor>
                       
                        <br />
                        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvBody" runat="server" 
                            ControlToValidate="txtBody" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="[Required]" 
                            SetFocusOnError="True" ValidationGroup="Insert"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                    </InsertItemTemplate>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Body") %>'></asp:Label>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:CheckBoxField DataField="Active" HeaderText="Active" 
                    SortExpression="Active" />
                <asp:CommandField ShowInsertButton="True" ValidationGroup="Insert" />
            </Fields>
            <HeaderStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
            <EditRowStyle BackColor="#999999" />
            <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#284775" />
        </asp:DetailsView>

Please tell me what is wrong with the code. Well I am not having any instance of FCKeditor in code behind file so that I can not find this control in code behind file.
Any suggestion is most welcome.
Thank you...

Hi there,

Why oh why oh why do you not understand my message about posting in an appropriate forum? What part of "please post only messages related to this book in this forum" did you not understand? This is the last time I am responding to your messages here if they are not appropriate for this book. Pfffff.....

That said, take a look at the latest version of the editor now called CKEditor. It has options to bind the editor completely client side, removing all these problems.

Cheers,

Imar
