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.

Hi aleksandrss0001 ,

In the previous version, smaller images were included as base64 values in the HTML code. This caused some performance issues in the editor. Therefore, we made connected system as the required parameter to upload any images(above 1KB). Please ensure that the 'allowImageUpload' parameter is set to true.

Thanks ananthakrishnans
First of all, thank you for your work, it is very useful.

Hello Vuram Team

There is one more issue we are facing. We are not able to paste the images directly into the rich text editor. In earlier versions we simply take screenshot and paste it directly into the rich text editor.

we are not passing the 'pasteAsText' also

Hi, in the previous version of this plugin image pasting for smaller images was possible even without the connected system, now it seems it's not the case. Was there any specific reason for this change?

Thanks in advance, Aleks

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out.

Once you've restarted the server, you need to clear the cache in case the server refers to the old component code (which occurs rarely). Clearing the cache updates the server to use the latest component code. Has this scenario been repeated for you since then?
