Advanced Rich Text Editor (Vuram)

IMPORTANT: Select component plug-ins are experiencing issues due to a recent browser update. If you encounter any problems with previously functional component plug-ins, please create a support case. 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:

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

Hi adeh0002, We tried to make the content selectable on Read only mode. But while analyzing we got to know it is the Tiny MCE library behavior on Read only mode.

Would be nice on the insert hyperlink if you had the option of configuring if the link is opened in a new tab, new window.

Hi there, we have been using this plugin on a project, but noticed a bug where if you use this on a standard form and type some text in then hit submit, you won't see any text in the process variable, or in the rule input on the form. It only appears if you interact with the form in some other way first, such as entering other information on the form and then submit.

We found this block of code in the plugin, which might be causing this:

editor.on("change", function () { clearTimeout(timer); timer = setTimeout(function () { updatedContent = tinyMCE.get("textContent").getContent(); updateUsageBar(updatedContent.length); Appian.Component.saveValue("richText", updatedContent); }, delay); });

saveValue occurs on change. The change event occurs when the focus is taken away from the editor: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/advanced/events/#editorcoreevents

Perhaps something such as this could address it?

editor.on('keyup', function() { });

keyup doesn't capture all key inputs such as cut/paste. but tinymce offers all of these events.

Thanks!
