Question regarding the ultimate editor and how attachments are added to the component.  I am building a web based email system that will use templates for the more common messages that are sent on a daily basis.

These templates need to include attachments, it is very easy to use the ultimate editor component to build the template and to grab the details of the attachments included in the template (by using GetAttachmentList() )  however I am having major problems if I wish to load a template and automatically set the editor control to what attachments were previously saved.  I was hopeful that there was a SetAttachementLis() method or that it would be simple to call a javascript function on the client side of the editor to update what is being held in session.  However I have not been able to do this and it is driving me mad!

I have inspected the UltimateEditor.upload.aspx and located a javascript function that I believe will help curEditorObj.ue2s(dirName, fName, fSize); but I can not get this to call or run on my main webform regardless of how I reference it, have tried EmailEditObj.ue2s(…) (EmailEditObj is the name of the component on the form) UltimateEditors.EmailEdiObj.ue2s(..) etc. 

> >

There seems to be very sparse client side documentation and the UltimateEditor.js is a joke to look at, all the code on one line and a nonsensical naming convention.

If anyone has had any ideas on how to do this or even how the attachment details are stored in the session, or even how to reference the editor component from javascript I would welcome the help

This would be used to populate the attachments list on first load of the page, its being used to load predifined templates with attachments so they can be used for common emails we send to customers.

We have not fully designed how the API should be and put this issue to our future development list. However, you can use the following workaround to set the attachments during initial page load.

Add the following client-side script block into HEAD section of your page. Basically, it should be placed before your editor server control.

<script language="javascript">
function EmailEditObj_OnLoad() {
  curEditorObj = UltimateEditors['EmailEditObj'];
  curEditorObj.ue2s('6858b88d-10a7-48e1-abb1-acb2d107973d', 'test.txt', 1024);
}
</script>

As can be seen at http://www.karamasoft.com/UltimateEditor/ClientAPI.htm, [ultimateEditorId]_OnLoad() is a function template to handle window onload events after the UltimateEditor control is completely loaded and ready to be reached by the UltimateEditors collection on the client-side.

Therefore, your client-side function name should be EmailEditObj_OnLoad since your editor control id is EmailEditObj.

Inside this function, you first set global curEditorObj variable, which is defined in UltimateEditor.js, to UltimateEditors['EmailEditObj']. Note that you don't define it with var in front of it since it is already defined.

Then, you call ue2s method, which is used to handle various functionality to add the selected file to attachment list and display it in th eeditor attachment list. You have already found out this function before.

The first parameter is file upload directory name. This directory is found under Uploads directory under UltimateEditorInclude directory. Every time a file is attached or image is inserted, a new GUID is generated and the file is stored under this new directory under Uploads directory.

The second parameter is the file name attached.

The third parameter is the size of the file in bytes.

You will probably need to generate this script block dynamically on the server-side if these three parameters are dynamic.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

As explained in ClientAPi documentation, you should use the ID of your own editor to create your own _OnLoad handler. For example, if the server-side ID of your editor is UltimateEditor1, then use the following JavaScript call:

<script language="javascript">
function <%=UltimateEditor1.ClientID%>_OnLoad() {
  curEditorObj = UltimateEditors['<%=UltimateEditor1.ClientID%>'];
  curEditorObj.ue2s('6858b88d-10a7-48e1-abb1-acb2d107973d', 'test.txt', 1024);
}
</script>

This code should render the attachment list after the page is posted back as well.

Please also note that UltimateEditor provides GetAttachmentList method on the server-side, which returns the comma delimited list of attached filenames. You can use that method on the server-side to do your custom programming to render the attachment list.
