Configure the RAD Editor Lite to use the MossImageManager
The RAD Editor Lite is a common replacement for the out-of-the-box MOSS 2007 Rich Text Editor. The RAD editor is really quite feature rich. However, on a recent project we didn’t like how the RAD Editor was handling image uploads through the editor. After a little digging through some help docs we found out you can easily configure the RAD Editor to use the default MOSS Image Manager.
Solution:
To use the MOSS Image Manager you need to modify the ListToolsFiles.xml file under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\4.5.3.0__1f131a624888eeed\RadControls\Editor
Note: The actual path might vary slightly based on the installed version of the RAD Editor.
Change the Image Manager option to MOSSImageManager.
