Hello,
I'm trying to use this plug-in but when I add the richTextField component to an interface nothing is displayed:
Can you please advise what I am missing.
Thank you.
Hi Marco - I see a 403 error in the console which means some request was forbidden. To understand where that's coming from, can you show us the output of the Network tab please?
Can you inspect the icon of the image that is being displayed and let us know what the source is?
It should be in the format of:
https://yoursite.appiancloud.com/suite/doc/1234where "1234" is a the ID of the uploaded Appian document on your site. If that's the case, you need to set the conf.content.download.byId property to true and restart your site. That can be accomplished with an Appian Support ticket if you don't have access to restart the server.
Good morning,
thank you for your reply. I followed the steps listed on above link https://community.appian.com/w/the-appian-playbook/1603/rich-text-editor-component-plug-in-troubleshooting-guide#usage and I see this errors listed in the console tab.Thanks in advance!
Please confirm you've followed the steps listed in https://community.appian.com/w/the-appian-playbook/1378/end-user-rich-text-editor-component#imageuploads, especially that you've set the conf.content.download.byId property to true.
Otherwise, follow the steps listed on https://community.appian.com/w/the-appian-playbook/1603/rich-text-editor-component-plug-in-troubleshooting-guide#usage to review the network traffic and reply and let us know what the response to the image request is.
Have you deployed the Appian Connected System - Rich Text Editor plugin and properly configured a connected system for that plugin, which you pass to the rich text editor SAIL component?
Good morning,using this plug-in we encounter the following error: when we upload the image, it is saved, but it is not displayed correctly. How can we solve it?
Thanks in advance!
This is done intentionally by the underlying library that is used, and is done to prevent a phishing vulnerability: https://www.jitbit.com/alexblog/256-targetblank---the-most-underestimated-vulnerability-ever/
We aren't going to be able to make an update to remove this attribute. I'd suggest just enhancing your logic to account for that string. When you are doing the extraction in Appian, you can probably just remove that substring from the full richTextValue variable and pretend it doesn't exist for the purposes of your logic.
richTextField
What component are you using? richTextField or richTextFieldWithTables ?
