Calling APEX page in Rich Text Editor Content

Question

In my application I am using the Rich Text Editor to allow users to enter a block of text that is rendered within a page. In some cases, they would like to link to other pages in the application from within that block. The problem I am having is figuring out how to use a relative URL (f?p) path and maintain the session ID. If I try to enter f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&APP_SESSION.as the link expression from within the editor, the resulting HTML comes out<a href="http://f?p=&amp;APP_ALIAS.:home:&amp;APP_SESSION.">Any ideas on how to do this such that the substitution strings get processed properly would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi,
Here what you can do with substitution problem
Create procedure
create or replace PROCEDURE editor_url(p VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
f (p => v('APP_ID') || ':' || p || ':' || v('APP_SESSION'));
END;
Create public synonym
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM editor_url FOR your_schema.editor_url;
Grant execute on procedure for DAD user
GRANT EXECUTE ON editor_url TO APEX_PUBLIC_USER; -- OHS or APEX Listener in use
GRANT EXECUTE ON editor_url TO ANONYMOUS; -- EPG
Then in editor link url you enter
editor_url?p=1
That will then you then to page 1 and procedure handles app id and session substitution
