New text editor in SAP

Hi,
SAP within material master transaction (say for sales text) provides two kinds of text editors: new text editor (where continuous lines of text can be entered (this is provided as a subscreen area when we click on a particular text id) and the traditional SAPscript editor (for this a link is provided and the SAPscript editor is opened on the new window).
Texts are stored in text table as: TDFORMAT and TLINE. The new text editor does not distinguish between new line and continuous line. It places "/" character in TDFORMAT for new line and continuous line (i.e. part of a line which are split over to next line).
We want to transfer this text information in IDocs. This information in IDoc is to received by the legacy application. Now within the IDoc the text messages are trasferred as chunks (FORMAT + TLINE). With no distinction being made between new line and continuous line (in the TDFORMAT "/" is stored for both of them), the legacy application will not be able to make sense out of the message received (i.e. it will not be able to combine these messages and insert newline as done in the source SAP editor).
Can anyone suggest some way to overcome this problem.
Any help in this regard is appreciated <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Thanks and Regards,
Gajendra.

Web Standard, Crossgrades, New Text Editor

I've been using "CS" since Macromedia Studio 8, but I didn't upgrade to CS5 last year because there was no 'Standard' package offered. I just don't need all the other stuff in the suite ... I don't even use everything in CS4 Web Standard. If this is just not ever going to come back, how about offering a discount on crossgrading to the individual programs we need from the suite. ie. a discount for the individual licenses of Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and/or Flash Pro. I just looked at the upgrade pricing for Web Premium CS5.5 ... it looks like the price just went up even more.
I find it a little hard to believe there is not any demand for a smaller web suite, like CS4 Web Standard. The only programs really necessary (for me) are a decent text editor with code hinting (Dreamweaver), a graphics program (either Photoshop or, for me, Fireworks), and maybe Flash Pro. I just don't need all the other stuff in the package. I would have just upgraded Fireworks, but I would have to pay full price for the individual program as there is no crossgrade option from CS to single program. Surely there are other people out there that feel the same way.
To be honest, I find myself using Dreamweaver and Flash less and less. I've been using a "no frills" text editor and an open browser for most projects over the last year or so. As far as Flash, I rarely open it - seems now just to edit an old app for a previous client.
Which brings me to the last part ... "Dreamweaver Lite". How would anyone feel about a light version of Dreamweaver? Streamline it, get rid of the WYSIWYG editing and Live Preview, keep code hinting and the CSS inspector/builder. Keep the 'projects' and FTP and add versioning (backups of latest document versions before going live). Make it a really lightweight Adobe text editor with a small footprint.
LOL, just re-read what I wrote ... looks like its kinda all over the place. I think folks will get what I'm going for though.

Hi Sonal,
I have faced similar issue with respect to module pool with container on the screen.
Try using the following on back action....
call method wf_init_edit->delete_text. (wf_init_edit -> editor reference - type ref to cl_gui_textedit )
Also we can free the container using
call method wf_init_cont->free. (wf_init_cont -> container reference - type ref to cl_gui_custom_container )
Hope it helps.

The text editor in release 2

We have portal release 2 running on HP-UX.
In release 2 there is a new text editor for publishing text. Its used for simple text and text item types.
How is this feature implemented? Is the source code available?
Feedback appreciated.

Hi,
It is called Rich Text editing. A search on google with the keywords rich text edit
will give you links to quite a few sites, where the source is available. It uses
a combination of DHTML and JavaScript.

How to get information from a text editor in the SAP standard transactions

Hi SAP gurus I have a requirement in which it is required to gte the information from a text editor(which is not a field) in mm02 (click on) goto Purchase Order Text in this view there is a text editor there is some text in te the text editor i have to get that information in a table can it be done if so please give example and steps
Points will be given to useful information

Ah yes, excellent question, and not really a clear cut answer. In my experience, the easiest way to find this information is to simply create the text using the standard transaction, in this case MM02. Then go to transaction SE16, using table STXH, do a query on this table, entering your user name, and today's date as the creation date. The results should show the text that you just created, now you can see the object, id, and the way the name is being used here.
I also understand that in some cases, there is a button next to the editor in the screen which gives you some idea of these values, but this is not implemented everywhere, and I believe that I've only seen this in one place, can't remember where, but the first solution above will always work for you.

Issue while saving long text through MS Word Editor in SAP

Hi All,
I am facing some issue while saving text through Word editor in SAP(like Notes in Installation or Long Text in device location).
After entering the text, when I am pressing the Back button, it says text transferred successfully, but when I try to see the text again, its not in the proper format.
Every time I go to the word editor, some text is deleted.
Thanks in advance for your help.

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...

SAP text Editor

Hi all!
Can i create Text Editor in ABAP?

Hi,
You cannot create a Text Editor. You can use one in your application. The class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT will help you do the trick.

New Text in the Sales Text View in the Material Master

Hi All,
I want to create new text ID in the material master sales text tab
Can you please help me in how to create the new text for material master sales text tab view.
Regards
Rajesh

Well it may not be possible by standard SAP to create in Material.
AN alternative might be to use a standard text type and then call it in your Text Determination Procedure.
T-code "SO10" --> Give "Text Name & Text ID & Language --> Click at "Create" --> On next screen --> Go to (Menu) --> change editor --> Write the text which you want
Go to VOTXN , and maintain the required confirguation to get this standard Text copied to the material during order processing.

Line breaks in text editor

Hi,
I am facing the problem that when I read the content of the
texteditor, store it in a javascript variable, and then write it
again into the editor area, all line breaks (not html line breaks,
just the line breaks for the code structure) are gone.
For Example if the content of the Editor is the following:
Test line 1
Test line 5
If I know call my function the value of the texteditor will
be somethign like: "Test line1 Test line 5"
I tried finding the linebreaks and replacing them (either \n,
\r or \n\r) but had no success in doing that.
My code of the function:
var theDom=dw.getDocumentDOM();
var temp = theDom.documentElement.outerHTML;
theDom.documentElement.outerHTML="";
theDom.documentElement.outerHTML=temp;
So I assume Javascript and dw are using different formats,
but I cant find much information about whats being used.
Any help appreicated!
Best,
David

Rich Text editor in Webdynpro

Hi,
With the new FormattedTextView in 2004s one will be able to render xhtml compliant rich test in Webdynpro.
This however only covers the rednering of rich text.
There still does not seem to be a rich text editor control available for webdynpro applications, which I think might be a common requirement for document centric applications.
I was wondering :
1 - will there be a richt text editor control available for WDP in the forseeable future ?
2 - if not, are there any workardounds available to allow for the generation of rich text ?

Hi Valery,
Well, I already thought of that kind of solution, but I do not consider it a very clean solution. I know WDP supports portal eventing. On the other side of such a scenario you could even do without a 3rd party wysiwyg editor, cause SAP does offer an html editor control in its set of HTMLB controls.
We intend to use WDP as a UI layer on top of SAPs KM. Our scenario involves template based publishing of structured documents (we first looked at xml forms, but they showed too many limitations). The idea is to model the document structure and content at runtime as WDP context structures (based on xml schemas) and then to serialize WDP context into XML content and metadata, with KM acting as business and persistence layer. Markup and insertion of images into the different text parts of the document however has become an additional requirement, which is why we are looking for a ways to fit that in our current design.
You could indeed think of some kind of data exchange between a regular portal component and the wdp application, but I am not too confident whether that is going to be a reliable solution.
PS : for the serialization of WDP context, your post in a different thread on this forum helped me a lot in my first attempts to create KM documents from data wdp runtime data (context). The link provided to the online book and your little example was very welcome. Thanks for that !

How to develop a rich text editor using Web-Dynpro?

Hello Everyone,
I am new hire,
today I got a task from leader to develop a rich text editor using Web-Dynpro,
Because I just finished the BC400 and NET310 training and lack of expericen in ABAP,
Can anyone tell me the main idea to accomplish the task?
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,

Have you looked at the standard UI Element
[FormattedTextEdit|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/44/2772f505605447e10000000a422035/frameset.htm] it's not perfect, but it does allow some simple formatting.
Anything beyond this - you're going to need to use an Island.

Hi All,
The standard text will be stored in Name = ORDCONF_TEXT_(sales org)_(distributionchannel)_(division)
Text ID = ZSD
Examples: ORDCONF_TEXT_4000_01_01 , ORDCONF_TEXT_4000_01_80 , ORDCONF_TEXT_1000_01_01.
Requirement :
The print program /form will need to pick up the appropriate standard text based on the Sales Area (combination of Sales Org / Distribution Center / Division) of the sales order [VBAK-VKORG / VTWEG / SPART], provided a standard text has been created for that Sales Area. Itu2019s not required that every sales area have a standard text, so if one is not found, this step should be skipped and the rest of the print program executed.
The new text should print after 2 blank lines after the Printable Notes text (which is after the line items and the Total Net Price prints).
The font should be the same size as the Printable Notes, but bolded rather than italicized.
The text should print in the same columns as the Printable Notes currently print in (Material Description / Scheduled Ship Date / Quantity) .
So the logic i have used is this below code:
I used a subroutine in the layout of the main window becoz i need to print it in the main window below after 2 blank lines of line items.
This is logic in the layout:
/:PERFORM GET_OBJECT IN PROGRAM ZSDRP001_ORD_CONF_IRE
/:USING &VBDKA-VBELN&
/:CHANGING &ORDCONF_TEXT&
/:ENDFORM
/:INCLUDE &ORDCONF_TEXT& OBJECT TEXT ID ZSD PARAGRAPH A1
I called this subroutine in the print program:
Logic in the print program:
FORM GET_OBJECT TABLES INPUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY

User Exit or BADI for VA02-Text editor Functionality

Hi experts,
Can anyone of you please provide me the User exit or BADI name for the tcode VA02 to call the Function Modules related to TEXT Editor?
**********Issues********
I have an Order eg.110022345...Under that Order,there are many line items...Say if i select one line item and change its Schedule line date,then that line item will get cancel and in turn an corresponding New line item will get ceated.
However,the Content of the TEXT fields is not copied to the line item from the parent line item.
I guess the STD SAP code functions in that way.So i thought of writting an Zcode to apply this functionality by using the Function modules "SAVE_TEXT" and "READ_TEXT_INLINE".
In order to do this i need to know the User exit or BADI which is suitable for my requirment.
Requesting you to help me in this case..
Thanks in advans:)

Hi
Try USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP in userexit MV45AFZZ.
I'm not sure but may be you need to use FM 'CREATE_TEXT' instead of 'SAVE_TEXT'.
First try with "SAVE_TEXT" if it won't work then use 'CREATE_TEXT'.

New Chart Editor = 3.5

Is is just me or is the new Chart Editor Really bad?!!! Hasn't WYSIWYG been around for about 10 years now? If you can't develop a good tool yourself then go out and buy one. It's taking me forever to change my "upgraded" graphs to match what they looked like originally.
Usually an upgrade means improvements in tools, but this is really bad. If you look at the "Chart Layout" everything is expressed in percents? What is that all about? Does anyone at SAP say "Hey, lets have some people try this out before we pass it on for GA?" Let's lose the microsoft mentality of "Just good enough".
Thanks for listening....
I'd be interested in hearing other opinions...

Hello Ken.
Yes, we all know WYSIWYG very well. It was the basement the ChartDesigner was built on. But we also built two different design modes: A <b>wizard design mode</b> where only the most often used properties can be changed and a <b>full design mode</b> where each single chart object can be changed in any detail.
When developing the ChartDesigner's full design mode several usability aspects were addressed to get a most usable design tool:
a) Ease of use and usage transparency: Get rid of dozens of different dialogs when customizing colors, fills, fonts of different chart objects. (Which the old tool had.) We applied simple chart objects/elements, their properties and values. No magic inside some dialogs which is not transparent to the user and thus not fully controlable.
b) Consistency: Get rid of inconsistent behaviors when using some of those dialogs in context. (The old tool did indeed change something in dialog1 and dialog2 did also revert the setting of dialog1 - not quite intuitive.)
c) Rich visual feedback: Each change will be immediately reflected inside the chart's output - That exactly is what WYSIWYG means. When adding a title text each single character will visualize it's appearance in the chart. Every color change will be immediately reflected on the screen. The same with fonts, font sizes, bitmaps, etc.
Instead of jumping into different dialogs and changing dialog content without simultaneous reflection in the chart output is not a "real" WYSIWYG thing. Such a dialog may support an "Apply" functionality but this isn't nice either to force the user to trigger the reflection on his own.
d) Support of repetitive jobs: When changing colors on a graph object (the background, for example) you can easily copy the background's full set properties within the overview tree into the clipboard. After navigating to another object in the tree (e.g. the legend) a subsequent paste will copy all matching property attributes to the destination element. Additionally to this the ChartDesigner remembers last changed property type, so after navigating to another element the same property type will be automatically refocused.
e) Keyboard Support: The customizing should be easily editable using the keyboard, especially for users that are used to teletype. (To check the difference: edit a screen using MS Access or MS Powerpoint - two different UI design patterns, two different efficiency levels. Creating distinct design with exact positions is easily available inside MS Access while in MS Powerpoint it is just not feasible.)
Yes, the layouting is an area where more work should be invested. We will address this ASAP and we greatly welcome all constructive critics and suggestions for doing this job. Our current layout bases on the assumption of creating charts in various screen resolutions with variable widths and heights. If pixel width and height is not known at design time distinct positions cannot be applied as well. Indeed a pixel based design mode would be valuable and we consider this in future releases.
Kind regards, Oliver Keim, SAP Graphics Team, Software Developer & User Interface Design Expert.
