BIP EBS ed. using Rich Text in CLOB?

I have a custom region storing rich text in a CLOB field. I want to use BIP to report the rich text. Is this possible using the non-EE BIP? I only have access to the BIP edition that comes with e-business suite.
I have a report that is working before I add this new CLOB field, but when I try and output the CLOB field ( which contains copy/paste rich text from a MS Word document ) I get the following error when it attempts to create the "data" .xml file:
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'https://ofdev3.mitre.org:4454/OA_CGI/FNDWRR.exe?...
<SS_C_CONCEPT>Create Information Templates 1.&nbsp;select Purchasing Super U...data template:
<element name="SS_C_NEED" dataType="CLOB" value="SS_C_NEED" />
Any help would be appreciated.

this might help

How to use rich text?

Hi All,
I want dynamically to output in adobe print form some fields from a table in this way.
Description:Text1
text2 text3
Description2:Text2
Description3: Text3
I want to use rich text but it does not work for me .
Could anybody help me ?
I appreciate any help.

I think you have to use floating filed.
Click inside the Static Text object in which you want to place the floating Text Field object.
Place your cursor on the line where you want Designer to insert the floating Text Field object.
Select Insert > Floating Field( from designer memu).
To set the properties of the Floating Field, click the Floating Field marker inside the Static Text object, and then select options as needed. It is good practice to rename the floating Text Field object and specify the necessary binding.
in your case you have use 2 fileds , 1 for description , 1 for text.for 2nd field make bold in the properties.
static text, description and text fields should be in subform.
Inside static text filed,after binding it will appera as below.

Using rich text editor (RTE) for custom applications

Our users enter texts on two places:
1) In Oracle Portal in text-items using the Rich Text Editor.
2) In text-fields in a custom application using html-tags <textarea>blabla</textarea>. For formatting the users currently have to type in html-tags themselves. Now we want to provide them an html-editor.
We would prefer to use the Rich Text Editor also for the custom application. However, that is integrated in Portal and the java-scripts are not easy to follow.
Have you tried something similar? So, did you use the Rich Text Editor for your own application? If yes, how?
If not, a very good alternative would be the qwebeditor (see http://www.qwebeditor.com). Did anybody replace the standard Portal rich text editor with the qwebeditor? In the Portal guides there are instructions about replacing the Portal rich text editor by another editor, but it is not clear if this will also work with the qwebeditor.
Thanks for your respons !
Best regards, Jan Willem Vermeer

Hi Jan,
I have configured FCKeditor in a few clients, and the process it's pretty straight forward, you can use the steps in the document (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/pdf/cm_rte_1014_features.pdf) .
Basically you download FCKeditor and put it in your apache server (you can put it unde rthe htdocs folder) after that, all you need to do is modify $ORACLE_HOME/portal/images/webword/buildUIHTML.html to reference the FCKeditor JS and CSS, and you can do the same type of reference for your custom apps.

Using Rich Text in interactive form

Hi,
I am trying to enter rich text in a form and submitting it to a web dynpro application.
To achieve this I created a context attribute (type string) and mapped it through an interface with the form. In the form I created a text field (type XHTML). I unchecked the 'allow plain text only' option and unchecked the 'Allow multiple lines' option although multiple lines would be nice as my goal is to store a large block of rich formatted text.
When I press the submit button the form field is not synchronized with the wd application. Another (plain text) field works fine so I assume I have setup the interactive form ok. Please let me know what it is that I am doing wrong here. Or if it is not possible, let me know also.
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi,
No, not yet (I did not have time for it...). The next thing I will try is to modify my interface. At the moment I use a XML schedule based interface and I would like to try an ABAP based interface. Don't know if that will help but it is worth a try.

Using Rich Text Editor with a Custom Attribute

Hello All,
Can anyone please tell me as how can I use the Rich Text Editor with a Custom Attribute?
I want to create a custom attribute based on text datatype, but when entering the value for this attribute in a Custom Item, portal shows a normal textarea. I want that the user should see the Richt Text Editor.
Thanks for help.
Regards

Hi,
Can you tell me what steps you are using to produce this, and which Portal version you are using. When I tried it, I wasn't able to reproduce it. Here are my steps:
1) Created Custom Item Type, based on Text, under
Page Groups > Shared Objects > Item Types
2) Selected Three attributes (Description, Name, Publish Date). Note Text and Display Name were already selected
3) In Add Item Wizard, configured list to allow for my
custom item type selection.
4) Then I was able to see the Rich Text Editor when editin
my custom item type.

J.

Using rich text editor in new asset type input form

Hey everyone,
I'm currently trying to create assets based on a newly created asset type (which I of course, created). However, the STORAGE property I declared in the asset definition file is to support formatted text, which would normally be pasted from word documents. Note that I'm using the Basic Asset Model.
Thus, I need a rich-text editor to be used in the content input form. So, after looking at the tags reference in the developer's documentation, I thought that I could use EWEBEDITPRO to achieve my goal but there's always an error mentionning that the component can't be launched. I supposedly have to configure two parameters, one of them being the path for ewebeditpro.js. I looked for that but haven't found it. On the other hand, I looked at the Oracle WebCenter Sites Property File document and that one stated that EWEBEDITPRO is deprecated and not supported (?!?!).
So in short, what can I use, as a rich-text/html editor?? Thanks in advance for any reply!
Edited by: DigitalSelf on May 24, 2012 2:26 PM

Thanks. From what I've read in the developer's guide, CKEditor was available with assets built from the Flex model. However, I'm currently having a hard time trying to display the content of an attribute with content input through the CKEditor, because it's stored in a blob. Although I've found several examples showing how to read the content of a blob, none of them worked for me...

Issue with Mail not using rich text

I'm using the Mail app on snow leopard and I can't seem to utilize the rich text functionality within the program. It is set to "Rich Text" via Preferences -> Composing but all my emails come in as plain text ("Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii").
Can someone help me with this?

So why does it have a default option to send as rich text then? Am I missing something?
"Rich Text" doesn't really mean anything unless you select the font size, font face, color, etc. As you can see, there is no place to do that in the Composing preferences. You have to do that in the New Message pane, or there isn't anything "rich" to send. Mail's Font preferences apply to local display, not to composing.
Mail has always behaved this way and the issue has been discussed dozens of times in these forums, because many people working in the Windows world want to have all their email sent out in rich text with a certain font and size by default. Mail lacks this feature, and there is no sign it will change, so some people switch to Entourage or Thunderbird.
A possible workaround in Mail is to use an html signature and start your message in the first line of that. Or use stationery.

Using Rich Text Formatting Tools for Email Message Text Box in Webdynpro.

Hi All,
I would like to know whether WebDynpro provides a feature of including the Rich Text Formatting Tools (like Font, FontSize, Spell check .....) inside a Text Box.
I need to allow the user to format/indent text inside the Email message box, before sending the Email.
Is ABAP/Java Webdynpro providing us the above feature currently?
Thanks for your time.

Using Oracle Text with CLOB field containing multiple languages

I'm using Oracle 10g (NLS_CHARACTERSET is set to. AL32UTF8) and have a table with a CLOB field which is storing text written in either English and/or Simplified Chinese.
The following index has been created on this field:
CREATE INDEX text_index
ON text_table(text_field)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS('FILTER CTXSYS.INSO_FILTER');
I'm having issues in returning text which matches the Chinese text using the CONTAINS operator. For some reason the following query is returning rows which do not contain any Chinese text:
SELECT *
FROM text_table
WHERE contains(text_field,'炫%') > 1;
A newsgroup user advised me to produce an explain plan using ctx_query.explain.
I created 2 explain plans, one which was searching the index for 'A%' and the other searching for the Simplified Chinese character '炫%'. The results for the first test were as expected whereby the values contained within the OBJECT_NAME field all began with the letter 'A'.
The second test however produced somewhat unexpected results. The OBJECT_NAME field this time contained various words, both English and Simplified Chinese. I could be wrong but it appeared to store every individual word in the CLOB field. Both tests produced different EQUIVALENCE rows, the first test was:
OPTIONS = Null
OBJECT_NAME = A%
Whereas the second test produced:
OPTIONS = (?)
OBJECT_NAME = %
Am I right in thinking the Simplified Chinese character is for some reason being converted to a '?' character?
Any help on this will be much appreciated.

As you're not specifying a lexer to use, it will use the BASIC_LEXER, designed for space-separated European-type languages. This won't work effectively with Chinese.
If you know which documents are Chinese and which are English, you can write this into a LANGUAGE column and use the MULTI_LEXER - this will allow you to specify BASIC_LEXER for the English texts, and CHINESE_LEXER or CHINESE_VGRAM_LEXER for the Chinese texts.
If you don't know the language, you must use either WORLD_LEXER (10g) or AUTO_LEXER (11g). These lexers will automatically determine the language of the documents and index them appropriately. In general. MULTI_LEXER will be faster and more accurate than either of the automatic alternatives.
When querying for Chinese characters you need to be very careful with your NLS_LANG settings. You need to make sure that the character set defined in NLS_LANG is the same as the character set from which you've pasted (or typed) the chinese characters.
The "?" in output usually just means "I don't know how to translate this character into your output character set". Sometimes it may appear as a reversed question mark.

Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

Hello,
We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
can you please help me out to get this option.
Thanks in advance.
REgards,
Jayashri

Hi,
From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.

Max characters in a Rich Text Editor?

Is there a "hard limit" on the number of characters I can enter into a Rich Text Editor?
My testing suggests that you can only have 4000 characters. If i submit more than 4000 i.e. 4001, I get the following error message:
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
The data type I am trying to insert into is of type CLOB (which if memory serves can store upto 4 GIG).
We are using Oracle Application Server (Apache and MOD_PLSQL) so I imaging that there is possible a limit here as well with how much data can be posted.
Thanks for any help.
Duncs

Hi Duncs,
I tried to reproduce your problem on our internal development system but was not able to do so. What did I do?
1) Created a new table with the following statement
CREATE TABLE DEPT_WITH_CLOB
   (     "DEPTNO" NUMBER(2,0),
     "DNAME" VARCHAR2(14),
     "LOC" VARCHAR2(13),
     "MORE_TEXT" CLOB,
      PRIMARY KEY ("DEPTNO") ENABLE
   ) ;2) Created a new application with a "Report and Form" based on the DEPT_WITH_CLOB table.
3) Modified P2_MORE_TEXT to use Rich Text Editor as item type.
4) Executed the page and entered a text which was more than 18,000 char long
5) Clicked apply changes and everything was stored without a problem.
Can you provide more information about your system?
1) APEX version
2) Database Version
3) Do you use database links in your apps or do other applications use database links?
4) If yes, which database version are those databases?
5) If you are able to reproduce the problem on apex.oracle.com that would also be of great help.
Thanks

Edit rich text in apex

Hi,
I was using rich text field in my form in apex database application. After submit, the context in rich text field will be saved in database clob column. I experienced some difficulties to edit the info in the rich text area. For example, I could not delete the bottom lines. I thought I deleted them, but after submit they were showed up again.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

I believe The others can provide more detailed solution.
How to display MS Rich Text in a Forms item? I think You can use OLE Item for that. It works just in client/server. I don't know a solution for Web Form.
If not then how to strip the rich text formatting off. the easest way:
Use OLE Automation.
Load the RTF document into ActiveX controls or programs which recognize RTF format. I believe you can find out a lot of ones. Then save it into text file.
I think you can upload the document into server to proces it there for Web Form. (I don't know exactly, because I have never used Web Form).
The other ways:
1. Use a third party RTF-parser. For example: you can find out a lot of program to convert RTF to XML-fo, etc.
2. There is the documentation for this format on www.microsoft.com. So you can write your RTF parser. If you need to just delete all formating from the document I think it is possible. I have written one, but they quete difficult and I don't have a free time to make the example :(.
3. etc...
