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.

  • 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

  • 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.
