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.

  •     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?

  • We are experiencing an issue where the image is not appearing in the interface object. Could you please assist us with this?

    We have attached a screenshot of the error for your reference.

    The issue only occurs in incognito mode, while the expected behavior is displayed in a normal browser session. Could you help us understand why this is happening?

    Thank you very much for your support!

  • Hi,

    I am using this component as a data field in my document generation.
    At times, when I'm entering value on the field, the typing cursor jumps to the beginning while I am typing.

    I thought it was because of refreshing variables or rule input, but When I conducted a test with just the component saving on a plain local variable. It still jumped.

    What do you think causes this?

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you and regards,

    Aldous

    Hi  

    Thanks for reaching out!!

    We tried to reproduce the issue, the issue does not occur in our environment.

    Could you confirm that it works fine when the richtext editor is removed?

  • Hi all,

    It looks there is a conflict between the plugin and the starProcessLink when we have a huge base64, resulting in 403 Access Denied. In the site the error happens immediately when trying to open an interface. If we don't have startProcessLinks we don't have the error.

    Can anyone help us with this error? I have a video to explain the situation.

    Thank you,

    Daniel dos Santos

    Dear   ,

    I would like to refresh this thread on your list again, there is a specific reason we  choose this plugin and  experience with copy paste contents is not good but rest of the things are working really nice.

    When we copy paste contents it adds extra spaces which makes the contents less unreadable, we will really  appreciate if you can address this issue or provide your vision to make it better.

    Regards,

    VT
