Re: Page Not Found for FCKEditor after installing BN 0.8.167.0

The relevant source code for this (at FckHtmlEditorProvider.cs):

string basePath = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + "/FCKEditor/";

if(config["BasePath"] != null)
basePath = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + config["BasePath"];

The problem is that instead of using relative address only for virtual paths it is trying to ask the root address from the system. However Request.ApplicationPath is failing in a lot of scenarios. For instance we have to use very complex DNS re-routing, therefore the HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath property results in a simple "\" every time (so basically useless). I have modified the code to use a simple relative path instead:

string basePath = config["BasePath"];

if(basePath == null)
basePath = "/FCKEditor/"; // or "FCKEditor/", it is irrelevant from now on, both are site relative

This way it will be independent from the enviroment. There are also a similar reference in Attachments.ascx, line 64. Is it possible to fix these in the next releases?

Thank you very much beforehand.

Re: Page Not Found for FCKEditor after installing BN 0.8.167.0

This fix didn't work for me. I still got page not found (404).

However, if I changed my code to be as follows, it seems to work just fine:

string basePath = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + "/FCKEditor/";

//if(config["BasePath"] != null)
//basePath = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + config["BasePath"];

Basically, just commenting out the second and third lines from the original code was all it took. Now the FCKEditor works just fine in my Issues as well as in my Welcome Message configuration.

Best regards,
Matt

I have found a muuuuch easier more configurable way to get the 404 error to disappear when trying to use the FCKEditor... No need to recompile!

In the web.config at the top-level of the BugNET application directory, go down to the line with the tag

  <HtmlEditorProvider defaultProvider="FckHtmlEditorProvider">

Then change the BasePath attribute in the subtag to ensure that there is a slash at the beginning of the path. This is counter-intuitive since in my web-structure, BugNET is not in the Root directory, but by making the path look like its the root directory seems to repair the problem.

So, change the following:

<add name="FckHtmlEditorProvider" type="BugNET.Providers.HtmlEditorProviders.FckHtmlEditorProvider, BugNET.Providers.FckHtmlEditorProvider" ... BasePath="FCKEditor/" />

To:

<add name="FckHtmlEditorProvider" type="BugNET.Providers.HtmlEditorProviders.FckHtmlEditorProvider, BugNET.Providers.FckHtmlEditorProvider" ...  BasePath="/FCKEditor/"  />

Please note the forward-slash at the beginning of the FCKEditor string in the second tag. That fixed it for me. Good luck.

Re: Page Not Found for FCKEditor after installing BN 0.8.167.0

I just modified <add name="FckHtmlEditorProvider" type="BugNET.Providers.HtmlEditorProviders.FckHtmlEditorProvider, BugNET.Providers.FckHtmlEditorProvider" Height="250" Width="100%" ToolbarSet="Default" Skin="Silver" BasePath="FCKEditor/">

I thing something with how the path is used in the code is messing up with the /

I get the error on Racspace (Windows Server something or other, clustered), but not on IIS7/Win 7. I just removed it.
