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.

  • Hello Vuram team,

    First of all, thank you for your work, it is very useful.

    We have an issue when inserting images in the editor. We have installed the connected system plugin and completed all the configuration, but when displaying the image it is not possible.
    Attached is a screenshot of how it is displayed.

    When reviewing the HTMl and accessing the link to the image, this is downloaded from Appian without problem.

    I have investigated and I have not seen any report about this operation, so I guess we have implemented something wrong.
    Could you tell us what?

    Thank you very much in advance.
    Best regards

    Hi Juan,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Could you please answer the following questions:

    1. From which source was the image uploaded/copied (Screenshot, local upload, copied from Word, etc.)?
    2. What is the image extension?
    3. Is the 'allowImageUpload' parameter set to true?
    4. Are the uploaded/copied document IDs reflected in the 'uploadedImagesDocIds' parameter?

    Hello, 

    1. The source of the files is local upload. 
    2. We tried PNG, JPEG, JPG... Nothing works. 
    3. Yes
    4. Yes, the document referenced is correct with the Appian idDocument. 

    Our Appian installation is on-premise. Could it have any relation with the issue?
