Hey Gavin,

You are probably using the razor macro that doesn't make use of the webcontrol, for an example of a razor only fieldtype check out this thread

http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/contour/40417-Creating-custom-FieldType-with-multiple-SingleLine-textboxes

You might also be able to do this by just customizing the views for details on that check

Hi Tim,

I would like to have a RichTextEditor for the Prevalues in the backend. I've extended the TextBox class, I've try Tinymce control and HtmlEditorExtender (which I got a bit further) however the HTML content won't save when I save the form in Contour.

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace Application.Web.FieldSetting
{
    ///

    /// 
    public class RichTextEditor :  Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.TextArea
    {
        public Guid ObjectGuid { get; set; }
      // public umbraco.editorControls.tinyMCE3.webcontrol.TinyMCEWebControl tinymce = new umbraco.editorControls.tinyMCE3.webcontrol.TinyMCEWebControl();


        private TextBox tb = new TextBox();

        public RichTextEditor()
        {
            ObjectGuid = new Guid("a2cb7830-f571-4787-9638-bc48539a0efb");
            //tinymce.SkinID = "umbraco";
        }

        /*

            }

            ///umbraco_client/tinymce3/themes/umbraco/skins/umbraco/ui.css

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(tinymce.Text) && Prevalues.Count > 0)
                tinymce.Text = Prevalues[0];
              return tinymce;
            */


            tb.ID = sender.GetName();
            tb.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine;
            tb.Width = 600;
            tb.Height = 200;
          //  tb.CssClass = "guiInputText guiInputStandardSize";


            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(tb.Text) && Prevalues.Count > 0)
                tb.Text = Prevalues[0];


            HtmlEditorExtender htmlEditorExtender = new HtmlEditorExtender();           
            htmlEditorExtender.ID = "htmlextender_" + sender.GetName();
            htmlEditorExtender.TargetControlID = sender.GetName();

            WebControl webctrl = new WebControl(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriterTag.Div);
            webctrl.Controls.Add(tb);
            webctrl.Controls.Add(htmlEditorExtender);
            return webctrl;
        }
    }
}

Field in the form part for a four questions ( Images/Text etc..., the user need to decide with image to choose etc...

using umb = umbraco;
namespace Application.Web.FieldType

    public class FourQuestions : Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldType
    {

        public List

Ok mind sharing the code on github or as a zip as this won't work :)

Hi Tim,

Thank you for answering me back.  I couldn't get the TinyMce Umbraco control  to render properly for a FieldType.

So I used the HTMLEditrorExtender from the AjaxToolKit with the standard TextArea control. It renders in correct in Contour however it won't save or load values into the HTMLExtended TextArea.

I've put the code classes on GitHub - https://github.com/glyons/ContourRichTextArea

What I need is a way to have HTML in Prevalues via a FieldType, however Umbraco strips out HTML code. Probably via AntiXSS module, even tried .NET 4.5 and setting the TextArea to  System.Web.UI.ValidateRequestMode.Disabled. This makes no differences.

Any ideas ?

Thanks again,

Gavin

Hi Gavin,

I'm just looking at building a couple of new field types for contour with a view of removing our current corporate system, did you resolve this issue?

is working on a reply...
