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 guys,

    I'm also having the same issue of broken pictures. Even the upload is not working correctly anymore after upgrading to Appian 24.2.

    Images are created in the expected folder, everything looks fine, but then the image is not read correctly by the plugin.

    If i click on "Open image in new tab" the image is shown correctly.

    Of course both parameters are set correctly:

    1- allowImageUpload

    2- imageStorageConnectedSystem

    I've also tried to re-create the connected system, with no luck.

    We were running version 1.1.1 of the Advanced Rich Text Editor plugin and version 1.0.0.0 of the Connected System plugin.

    Apparently after moving to 24.2 it stopped working and upgrading the plugin to 1.6.1 and 1.2.0 (Connected system) did not solve the issue.

    Let me know if I can give you any additional information.

    Best regards,

    Fabio

  • Hi Team

    We've been using this component for quite some time, and it has been functioning well in terms of handling images. However, recently we've encountered an issue where images are not being added or displayed to the end user, regardless of their size.

    We attempted to update the plugin to the latest version (1.6.1) to stay in line with recent updates, but the problem persists.

    Please provide a resolution as a priority.

    Thanks

    Shweta

    Hi there,
    Please let us know if there is an update or fix for the above issues.
    Thank you in advance. 

  • Hello  ,

    We are using version 1.6.1 of the plugin and trying to use the "imageValidation" parameter with a "maxSize" value to set a limitation on the size of the images that a user can upload in the component. As you can see from the screenshot, however, I set the maxSize to 3 KB but was still able to upload an image that far exceeds the maxSize parameter (the image in this screenshot is over 5 MB) and no validation was shown. This screenshot is a simplified example but we have also been able to submit a process from a site using a start form with the same imageValidation setup. Is there something wrong with how we set the imageValidation and maxSize values or is this a bug?

    Hi ,

    1. We have created a custom function - getbase64fromhtmlimagesource() in Connected System to convert HTML images to base64 encoded images.
    2. Currently imageStorageConnectedSystem does not support this functionality, We will include it in our backlog.

    thanks   for the quick response.

    I was under impression that base64encoded images will also continue with an additional boolean parameter.

    In our case we are using S3 for document storage, could you please suggest how can we use S3 for images uploaded using imageStorageConnectedSystem.

  • in reply to PriyeshPSingh

    Hi   ,

    The base64 encoding has stopped now in the latest version. Image copy-paste is still possible after the 'imageStorageConnectedSystem' configuration and by setting the 'allowImageUpload' parameter to true.

    Regards,
    Ananthakrishnan S

  • Hi  ,

    After the upgrade plugin has stopped image copy-paste ( as base64 encoded html content ). Is it correct ?
    Or still image copy paste is possible with some other settings ?
    Please confirm.
