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:

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

When the editor loads for the 1st time, whether passing in anything (valid HTML, text) to richTextValue via local variable or rule input, the editor does not display the value.

As soon as designer edits the SAIL, e.g. remove the richTextValue parameter and undo (ctrl-z), or toggle isReadOnly, the value is displayed.,

Usage bar shows % as >0, so it seems to think that there is value there, but is not displaying them.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new UI object, and add Advanced Rich Text Editor component
2. Create a rule input of type Text
3. Set richTextValue to rule input
4. Supply a text value, e.g. "Hello" as rule input, set as default value
5. Save object and close
6. Open object - observe that "Hello" is not shown on load
7. Toggle to Expression Mode, delete richTextValue parameter, and undo (ctrl-z) - observe that "Hello" is now displayed

hi,

The Package is a component, so instead of a jar it contains a file advanced-rich-text-editor-(vuram)-v1.1.2_signed.zip which can be used for deployment

When copy-pasting into the editor, sometimes the text appears as strikethrough.

We've observed this occurring when users copy cell data from Google Sheet, some emails.

Can be reproduced by copying text from https://www.lipsum.com/, and pasting into the editor.

Hi singaravelus0001,

I understand your issue. Sorry to say this, we haven't seen anything like this before. But I am very sure it is not an issue with the component. Could you please raise a support ticket to Appian for this issue?

Hi Santhosh,

I have given the same value as you mentioned in the html format but still it is not working.

We installed "Rich Text Editor" and it is working properly it means the dynamic url setting is correct.

here the httpd.conf setting
