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 uranikh0002 ,

Could you please let us know the source from where you copied the text (like Microsoft Word or Google Sheets).

Thanks,

Hi, we are having problems when we are doing copy paste in the advanced rich text editor. If the text contains some special characters and when we are doing copy paste directly to the editor the text shown is unformatted and it is not displaying correctly. If we copy that text and paste to a notepad and after that paste to editor then it 's correct but directly it's not working. Can you check if there is any opportunity to fix this problem?

Hello

I have a requirement from my client, and that is that the Excel format can be respected when copying the table to the plugin. My question is if there is currently a way to do this.

Table on Excel

Hi there,
i have installed both the Advanced Rich Text Editor (Vuram) and Advanced Rich Text Editor Connected System (Vuram) plugins. along with the Capture Image plugin. I want to be able to make use of the camera functionality and upload a cam pic directly to Appian. When i try to upload an image I'm getting the following error :

Unable to get response from connected system

The SAIL code currently looks like this .

richTextEditorField(
richTextValue: local!rich,
richTextSaveInto: local!rich,
allowImageUpload:true(),
imageStorageConnectedSystem: cons!ICSA_IMAGE_STORAGE_CS,
uploadedImagesDocIds:local!documentId
)

Any ideas ?

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out.

could you please specify whether you are looking to adjust the margin/padding of the complete editor or if you want to customize the margin/padding for the content within the editor?

Thank you

Hi, There is an ask for us to control the margin/padding for editor content, Is there any possibility of an input parameter to handle margin/padding in the rich text editor?
