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.

thanks ananthakrishnans 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.

Hi PriyeshPSingh ,

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.

Hi ananthakrishnans ,

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.

Can you confirm that you have configured the connected system details correctly? If the issue still persists even after that, please share the configuration with us. This information might be helpful for us to investigate further.

Hi ananthakrishnan,

We have a use-case for pasting the content directly from other sources without losing any formatting. Can we expect this fix in your upcoming release?

Good morning.

We are using both plugins with the latest version. We have removed the previous versions and reinstalled both of them.

When adding an image, it saves the ids and the image in the folder. We also have the parameters allowImageUpload and imageStorageConnectedSystem well configured, but in the interface object the image is not seen. Can you help us?

Please find attached the image of the error.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi ananthakrishnans ,

We have encountered another issue. When screenshots are pasted quickly, not all of them are being uploaded to the targeted folder via the connected system.

Best regards,
Ravi
