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 Laura,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    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! I'm getting the next error when Im trying to "Export as PDF" 

    Do you know what's happening?

    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  ,

    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,

    Hi ,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Pasting content directly from other sources without losing any formatting is not supported in the free version of tinyMCE library which is used in the development of this plugin.

  • Hello Vuram Team,

    We are working with this component and facing some issues with copy/paste. The pasted content was converted into different styles and formats.  Please find the below examples for more details.

    Example:

    Here this original content

    We were getting the below output format when we tried to paste this same content into the editor plugin. This is not like an original and it was converted into a different style.



    Please address this issue and do the needful on this same.

    Thanks,

    Dinesh L

  • Hi,

    We are working with this component and we are trying to manage the table properties, it would be possible deploy a new parameter to disable some options on reference to the tables configurations?
    For example, we would like to deactivate row properties, cell properties and table properties.

    Regards!
