I have installed your package on an instance of umbraco v
4.5.2 (Assembly version: 1.0.3891.20719)
The install seems ot have worked fine but when i render a form with a rich text editor it breaks.
what seems to happen is that the feilds are output untill a rich text editor is reached and then the form stops outputting. I have read thorugh the documentation and couldnt see anything that I may have done to cause this?
Unfortunately, no, the RTE will not work. It relies on the umbraco Toolbar, which is not present in Doc2Form. You can create a custom RTE that can work, with the toolbar automatically rendered as tinyMCE would by default.
Thanks for your reply, I was worried that would be the case :) do you know any info that might point me in the right direction for adding the TinyMCS RTE into a front end control?
The way Doc2Form works is to only render the built in controls inside of some structured markup. I don't do anything special with the controls, as I really can't. A few different controls tend to be problematic as to the way they handle their setup.
TinyMCE has a setting or two that rely on the umbraco User. This User will not be available on the front end unless the user is logged in (which they won't be for an end user).
rich text editr breaks form?
Hi there,

Will this package work with RTE?
Many thanks

Hi Casey,

You can create a custom data type that is tinyMCE but implements the toolbar as a standard toolbar.
Simplest way is to wire up a tinyMCE or other RTE in a User Control and use Umbraco's User Control Wrapper Data Type.

Just did submited a bugfix via a pull request. Hope it will be added to 4.7.1 otherwise I can send you the corrected dll if that helps.
> I can send you the corrected dll if that helps
Please do. I am having this problem with 4.6.1, and hopefully your fixed dll will help me - how do I go about getting hold of it?
I only did a build against the 4.7 code, don't think that dll will work with a 4.6.1 install.
is working on a reply...
