ConfigurationPath - Confusion

Reply Quote

I made a toolbar configuration file that worked great on my localhost. It breaks things when I try to apply it to my remote production server.

Here's what I know...

I put my config file in the project's root directory.
my editor tag goes: <CE:Editor id="csJdesc" AutoConfigure="None" ConfigurationPath="~/CFE.config" ...etc
My browser indicates a javascript error, the editor box appears, but with no buttons at all.
When I 'view source' I find ..."configurationpath":"M:\web\users\V015U33LIP\html\CARMA\CFE.config"... which is (I think) correct - assuming you should really be seeing a physical path here
I've also tried using one of the autoconfig files (as in: ConfigurationPath="~/Simple.config") to assure my self that my config file wasn't broken, but got the same result.

Here's what I don't know

what's happening?

On another branch of the same topic, I considered putting my config file in the autoconfig folder, but I don't know how to get it on the autoconfig enumeration list.

Any solutions for either of these?

Thanks

DOug

ps: If I can get this to work, I can see it's going to be AWESOME!

DOug,

Where did you put the configuration file?

Is it in the ~/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/Configuration/AutoConfigure folder?

Can you try the following code:

<CE:Editor id="Editor1" ConfigurationPath="~/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/Configuration/AutoConfigure/CFE.config" runat="server" ></CE:Editor>

Keep me posted

As I said, I had put the config file in the project root, among lots of other places including the autoconfigure folder.

I tried the autoconfigure folder again, and used the code you sent (except that the id is different) and got the same unhappy result.

:-(

Rats!

Doug blushes!

Operator error .... as usual.

Doug forgot to post his config file to the server.

Doug apologises and tries to quietly slip away.....

Thanks

Ah, but wait ... there's still a glitch.

I keep getting a javascript error whenever I do a ConfigurationPath="whatever.config". My custom toolbar setup shows this, but it's also true of all the files in my autoconfig folder.

So if, for example, I say AutoConfigure="Full", everything works, but if I say ConfigurationPath="~/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/Configuration/AutoConfigure/Full.config", I get the error.

I see the correct buttons, but the editor is non-functional.

Thanks

Doug,

Can you try the following code:

<CE:Editor ConfigurationPath="~/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/Configuration/AutoConfigure/Simple.config" id="Editor1" runat="server" ></CE:Editor>

Keep me posted.

I got the simple menu buttons, but the same error.

I'll email you the URL and you can try it yourself.

I'm also going to try another experiment - to rename my config file as simple.config and see if it doesn't work using autoconfig="simple.config"

I tried my other experiment - I took my custom config file, renamed it to simple.config, put it in the autoconfig folder, and it WORKED!!!

So, it seems there was/is something wierd about the ConfigurationPath command. The javascript error muttered about expecting a hex value around character value threehundred and something in the line generating the editor.

I'm still interested in knowing how to add new files to the AutoConfig enumeration list - so I can add my evil stuff without trashing the 'normal' ones.

Thanks again

time for bed....

Doug,

>>I tried my other experiment - I took my custom config file, renamed it to simple.config, put it in the autoconfig folder, and it WORKED!!!

It's very strange.

Can you try the sample.config file?

<CE:Editor ConfigurationPath="~/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/Configuration/AutoConfigure/Sample.config" id="Editor1" runat="server" ></CE:Editor>

I thought your configuration file may have problems. But I can't figure out why it worked after you rename the file.

>>I'm still interested in knowing how to add new files to the AutoConfig enumeration list - so I can add my evil stuff without trashing the 'normal' ones.

This feature is not supported now. Sorry for the inconvenience. I suggest you backup the exisiting configuration files first then just edit the existing configuration files.

It's not the renaming.

If I use ConfigurationPath="~/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/Configuration/AutoConfigure/Simple.config" I get the error

but if say AutoConfigure="Simple" it works.

Also, the ConfigurationPath code works on my localhost, but not when I'm using my remote production server.

Same file - go figure.

I am proceeding with your cunning plan to use the existing autoconfig files.

Thanks again

Hi Adam

I know, I must seem like a puppy that won't go away, but....

I have discovered that my configuration problem only occurs in my IE6 browser. Firefox works properly.

To recap the issue, when I use autoconfigure="whatever" it works.
If I use ConfigurationPath="/here/there/whatever.config" it works in Firefox, and gives me the following error in IE6

and the instance editor doesn't work.

My clients, of course, are IE people won't be switching to Moilla for my benefit.

That said, This is a fantastic product! I just downloaded v4.5.0.1 and a whole whack of difficulties I'd been having with links and paths just vanished.

Thanks again.

DOug,

Are you sure the link you sent to me through the email has been uprgaded to the version 4.5.0.1?

Can you send your site FTP access information to me through the email as well?
