Advanced Rich Text Editor (Vuram)

Overview

The Rich Text Editor Component can be used on Appian interfaces where you want to show the rich text information in readable format to the end user. We can use the component to show it as an email subject typing interface.

With this component you can add images, customize tables etc. This also has a functionality called placeholders using which you can use the same information in multiple items in the editor without retyping.
Additionally it allows uploading of images which get stored in the specified Appian folder (requires separate install of the Rich Text Editor Connected System Plug-in).

Note:

  1. It is recommended to use one ARTE Component in a Page/Interface.
  2. We do not encourage to use Short as height in the component.

  • Is there a way we can add custom fonts to this plugin?

  • We recently migrated our environment from the legacy EC2-based infrastructure to Kubernetes. Following the migration this plugin has stooped working, component is not loading it is just showing blank UI. Has anyone faced the same issue?

  • v1.7.4 Release Notes

    • Added a new parameter to control whether the View-> Source code option is shown.
    • Update the readOnly behavior to make the rendered HTML inert thereby disabling all interactions in the content.

  • Hi,

    We are experiencing a issue while uploading images from mobile using this plugin. Some time it loading on upload or not rendering image entirely. For web, it is working fine. Any help or suggestions please?

  • Hi,

    We have implemented this component for a client. 

    They are experiencing an issue where the cursor keeps jumping back / repositioning itself while typing in the rich text field.

    Could this be due to refreshing variables? I tried using locals to save the text instead and its still jumping around

    Would you be able to provide some insight into the cause please?

    Thanks!

  • v1.7.3 Release Notes
    • Updated the component to avoid file uploads that are not supported but have modified extensions that mimic supported ones.
    • Fixed issue where the image uploads successfully but still the component throws an error.

  • Emoticons and Date/Time options are disappearing when we change the Height from "Auto" to any other (Short,Medium,Tall). Could you please assist us with this?

  • We've detected the plugin is trying to use a file in /richTextEditorField/v1/skins/content/default/content.css which doesn't exist. It's not impacting usability at the moment but it is quite noisy in terms of gateway and console errors. Anything you can do to resolve this would be great.

  •     I see that this plugin currently has a maximum size limit of 10,000 characters. Could we make this limit configurable instead of having it hard-coded to 10,000? We have a requirement where the maximum size needs to be up to 25,000 characters. Would it be possible to update the plugin to allow for this larger default limit?

  • Hi,

    First, thank you for this resource, it's being very useful for our requirements.

    The component is performing mandatory field validation before entering a value. Appian components don't behave the same.

    For example:

    Could anyone help us with this problem?
