Advanced Rich Text Editor (Vuram)

If you notice other component plug-ins that are not functioning correctly, please create additional support cases for each instance.

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.

    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

  • v1.7.0 Release Notes
    • Added parameter saveImagesInFolder to save the images inserted into Appian KC.

  • Hi there. Im experiencing issues with images not loading in MS Edge, and am assuming it is as per the warnings and notifications I can find in comments here summarised below:

    ARTE and potentially other component plug-ins are encountering issues due to a recent update affecting all major browsers. the reason for this behavior is something related to Google changing the way handling cookies

    Make sure to open a ticket and request to apply the change to support the Rich Text Editor plugin. We have successfully addressed this bug through a site property adjustment and an application restart.

    Could I ask for more detail on this please? I am working on prem so dont have Appian Support to raise a ticket with - what is the site property adjustment that needs to be made prior to the restart?

      & Vuram

    Do you have any updates on this fix?

    Can we expect this fix in the upcoming release?

    Thanks,

  • Good morning, 

    I've tried to use the new parameter disableTableProps but it seems is not working properly. It should disable the properties in Tables, but it disable Tables, not just the properties. Could you please revise? I would like to continue using this plugin :)

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Good morning.

    I have tried to use the new parameter disableProperties=true and it removes the option to add tables. was that its purpose? or should it allow to add tables but without properties in them?

    Thank you very much.

  • We have a business requirement to copy complete email content, including text, images, and signatures. For this editor, we used the following plugins:

     

    1. Advanced Rich text editor
    2. Advanced Rich Text Editor Connected System

     

    Despite this, when copying and pasting email content directly into the rich text editor, the text is successfully transferred, but the images are not.

     

    As a workaround, I first copied the email content into a file, then copied the images from the word file and pasted them into the editor. This method successfully included the images.

     

    Could you please help me understand why the images are not being copied directly and advise on how to resolve this issue?

    Hi guys, big update: the reason for this behavior is something related to Google changing the way handling cookies (see here). Make sure to open a ticket and request to apply the change to support the Rich Text Editor plugin.
