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 !

Rich text editor (apex 4.0)

using blue gray theme and a page with a rich text editor. Expanding the rich text options displays the text body p below the text area that persists even if you close the rich text options. Anybody know how to get rid of that behavior?

I think your mixing 2 technologies.
At 1 side you have xml in combination with xsl (style sheets used in BI Publisher and FOP) to generate your pdf. And at the other side you have HTML...
XML and HTML are 2 entirely different technologies which you can not mix this simple. I investigated the same problem as you had, and in the end I ended up using jasperreports instead of FOP.
Maybe BI Publisher has some html regions which you could insert into your word document but I doubt it cause more people have asked the same question on this board...
So my advice: use jasperreports (also it is free for commercial usage)

Rich Text Editor Options

I am working on a project that needs a Rich-Text Editor with
ability to insert tables, images, and more complex editing features
such as what FCKEditor provides but ideally that was built with
Flex in mind. Is there such an editor available? I have seen a few
options but nothing that really matched the functionality of
FCKEditor for example.
Thanks

Hello,
I was looking for flex version of the FCK Editor,
unfortantly, I could not find a fully complete solution, but I
found the following which might help you:

Using a different Rich Text Editor ?

Hi,
I'd like to know if you're using a different Rich Text Editor other than the one provided by Oracle ?
Are you satisfied with it ? Especially in the management of images ?
Thanks
Max.

there is a textflow component
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/07/25/exporting-a-textflow-object-in-flex-4/
still exports to font tags unfortunately, but its closer than the richtexteditor. Its basically at the point where you could even write your own small parser and adapt the output to the format you desire.

Why can't I cut or paste in my wiki rich text editor

the browswer does a lovely job of viewing my pbworks classroom page but i cannot type, cut, or paste in PBWorks' rich text editor mode so i can't edit from my phone and i suspect i will find the same problem when we switch to ipads next fall. any help?

This problem should be at least partly fixed in Firefox 5, which will be released later this month. If you'd like to help us test the fix now, you can download Firefox Beta from the Android Market:

Using the Document Manager Rich Text Editor

I'm wondering whether there is a reasonable way we can use the Rich Text Editor (based on CKEditor) that is contained within the Document Manager task flow (primarily for editing Wiki pages) outside of the Document Manager itself? We have another type of content we need a Rich Text Editor for, but it would be great if we could use the inline image links, tables, links to documents in the content repository, etc.

Have you consider use Site Studio + Content Presenter?

Portal Rich Text Editor in Firefox 3.5 Not Working

I'm using Oracle Portal Version: 10.1.4.0.0 (Build: 594)
The text item Rich Text editor works fine in IE 6 and has reduced functionality in Firefox 3.0 (scroll doesn't work). I've just updated to Firefox 3.5 and the text editor doesn't work at all now.
The user is presented with a grey box where all the text controls are squashed into the top left hand corner.
The following errors appear in the Error Console :
Error: element.children.tags is not a function
Source File: http://xyz.example.net:7778/images/webword/WebWordMenuToolbar.js
Line: 1
Error: attachEvt is not defined
Source File: http://xyz.example.net:7778/images/webword/buildUI1.js
Line: 76
(I've replaced our server url with http://xyz.example.net)
Has anyone else noticed this? Has anyone got any suggestions on what I can do to investigate/fix it?
Thanks,
Matt
Update :
There is a patch available to potentially fix the Rich Text Editor issues in Firefox
"The Rich Text Editor Does Not Work Correctly In FireFox" - Metalink Doc ID: 456512.1
or you can replace the RTE completely with a 3rd party editor :
"How to integrate third party RTE (FCKeditor) with Oracle Portal" - Metalink Doc ID: 352796.1
Using FCKEditor may well solve the issues but I only use Firefox for development. Our users use IE6 so I don't want to replace the interface unless I have to.
Edited by: Matt Hawkins on Jul 15, 2009 1:58 PM

This is a known issue in both Portal 10.1.4.x and Portal 11.x :
Bug 8708210 (11) NOT ABLE TO RENDER RICH TEXT EDITOR WITH FIREFOX 3.5 BROWSER
This bug is not published on Metalink.
There is no solution yet. Consider to use IE Tab (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419) for editing file items until this bug is solved.

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.

Juan

Need to have a Rich Text Editor

I require to use a Rich Text Editor where in I can copy both text and attachments (word/excel/pdf) from an email (Outlook or Lotus Notes) and have that stored into an Oracle table.
The text that is copied must go into a CLOB column in the database whereas the attachments should be stored as a BLOB.
My preference is copying the complete data (text and attachments) in one go but if that is not possible then copying the text and attachments separately would do.
Also there is no limit on the number of attachments that might be there.
Any solution using Java / Oracle would be greatly appreciated.

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

Print PDF rich text editor using BI Publisher

Hi !
I have a CLOB field from database, and I store data using a rich text editor, like a MS Word system, here as you know, I can write words in bold format, use differents kind of colors, etc... and use all formatted text that the editor allow me. I haven't problems once save this data into table and restore again, I can see all this data formatted , and I don't loose any property of this formatted text.
The problem is when I want print this information in the same way that I can see in the rich text editor. I use BI Publisher for generate a PDF, when I send this field for print a PDF, the PDF that BI publisher generate, print only text, prints all characters including generating that text is formatted, for example, if the field is written in bold print "<b>hello</b>" in the PDF generated by BI Publisher see "< b. > hello < / b>".
Please which is the way for print the same as is displayed in the rich text editor?
Thanks in advance.

Bump Again. I understand how to remove the HTML tags, thats not a problem. The problem is getting the report to print the data from a Rich Text Field stored in a CLOB or NCLOB as formatted text. Is there a "Master Style Template" or "Master Rich Text Field Subtemplate"?

Rich Text Editor with Custom Text Attribute

Hello All,
We are using the latest version of Oracle Portal 10G. I have a need to create custom Attributes of the type text to let people enter a lot of text. But when User are in edit mode of an item where this custom attribute is used, the Rich Text Editor is not shown for entering the Text for the Custom Text Attribute. It shows a normal html text area. Has anyone ever used RTE with Custom Attribute?
I request you guys for help.
Thanks.

The Problem with the Custom Attribute is not solved, but I have now compromised with the Situation and now I am not using a Custom attribute.
Rather, Now I am creating a Custom Item Type using Base Text Type (earlier i wanted to create custom item type at my own without any base item type). In this case now I will not be able to change the Lable of the RTE (that is "Text", when the Custom Item is in Edit Mode), but I hope that my users can understand that much.
I have created a template for portal pages. In the Template I can edit the Region Properties. When I edit the Region property of the region where I want to display my Custom Items. I get two Tabs on the top, Main and Attributes/Style. ON the main tab I can tell what type of region it should be, width etc, in my case it is item type region. And on the Attributes/Style tab, I can select from the availabe Attributes as which all Attributes I want to display. Here if i select only "Associated Functions" Attribute then normally portal should not render anything by default on the Page. It should rather make a call to the procedure which is associated with the Custom Item and as when I was creating the custom item type, I had clicked on "Display Procedure Results With Item", so portal should now display the result of my Procedure. So far it works without problem.
But the problem is that the Portal displays the text at its own also. As i have written that Portal should not display anything at its own, this doesn't work in this version of Portal for a Custom Item Type that is made using Base Text Item Type. For all others it has worked till now (I have create 50s of Custom item types).
You can better understand by going to the following URL. Just have a look between the two dotted lines (Dotted line is also a seperate Custom Item Type). Between the two Dotted Lines is a custom item, in general it would be a Custom News Item having title, image and so on.
http://sunnode1.edvz.sbg.ac.at:7778/portal/page?_pageid=79,56047&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
I have really programmed a lot with portal but now at this stage where I am near to end, I am getting problems which are coming from Product. I request you for help.

Rich text editor

<cfform>
<cftextarea richtext=true name=”richtext01″/>
</cfform>
The code above gives me the rich text editor. However, the image upload is disabled for the security reason and we are not allowed to modify the fckconfig.js from the server. Is there the way to copy this from the server and paste into the local where the application is placed? Or does anyone knows how to upload the images and have it shows on the rich text editor?
Thanks

Rich Text Editor Option for Custom Metadata

Hi,
We have created custom profiles for our clients. In one such profile which was created for news updates, client wants to have rich text editor in case of certain custom metadata fields such as description similar to comments.
As far i as i understand this can be achieved by creating region defintion which gives the option to create a web asset which can edited using site studio api. But is it possible to bring in rich text editor features for custom metadata fields in profiles ?
Regards,
Boopathy P

I'd suggest looking into the profile rule's "Use custom include" option.
You need to build the new control on your own, but you'll be able to plug it in via the "Use custom include" profile rule option. It's on the "Edit Rule Field" page.
You can also override the template, but I believe that's a lil' too hardcoded for best practices. This way, you can create a ckeditor textarea and apply it to any metadata you wish (of course, it's up to you to make sure the datatypes match).
Let us know if this helps!
