Editing Image Gallery causes IE7 Crash

Problem:

IE 7 crashes when one edits the Image Gallery Control.

Solution:

The problem is related to the way IE7 parses the rendered HTML by PagingSetting server controls in the ImageGalleryControlDesigner template and there are two options to avoid it.

You should make the designer template external (you can find all external templates and their mapping configuration in the download section in your Client.net account):

1. In the ~/App_Data/Configuration/Telerik.Sitefinity.Configuration.ControlsConfig.xml add the following template mapping:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>         
 <controlsConfig>         
   <viewMap>         
     <viewSettings hostType="Telerik.Libraries.WebControls.Design.ImageGalleryDesigner"       
   
     layoutTemplatePath="~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/Libraries/ImageGalleryControlDesigner.ascx" />         
   </viewMap>         
 </controlsConfig>         
  

layoutTemplatePath is the path where you store the external template. Generally you can add it to ~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/Libraries/ImageGalleryControlDesigner.ascx

Open the ~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/Libraries/ImageGalleryControlDesigner.ascx for edit and find the first instance of PagingSetting control:

    <sf:PresentationModeSettings ID="ModeSettings1" runat="server">         
     <DetailHeaderTemplate>         
     ...         
   
         <sf:PagingSetting id="pagingSetting" AllowPagingSetting="true" DefaultPageCount="10" AllowPaging="true" runat="server" />  
  

Approach 1:

Remove the instance of the control from the template

Approach 2:

Duplicated the PagingSetting control:

    <sf:PagingSetting id="pagingSetting" AllowPagingSetting="true" DefaultPageCount="10" AllowPaging="true" runat="server" />         
 <sf:PagingSetting id="pagingSetting1" AllowPagingSetting="true" DefaultPageCount="10" AllowPaging="true" runat="server" />  
  

The templates and ControlsConfig file are attached for your convenience. Let us know if there is anything else that we can do for you.
