Rich Text Editor not showing up

Hi. I've installed OracleAS 10g Rel 2.
When I try to add text using IE6 the text area is just gray. I have tried to change different attributes in IE but its still gray. I dont know how to debug IE either, I normally use firefox.
Any ideas how I can debug IE, or what I should change on my IE to make the rich text editor show up.
(btw, the installation is on my laptop, using XP pro. Not supportet but generally works fine. I know ppl at Oracle have this working on XP so it should not be the issue).

hi terje,
i just tested this on my 10.1.2 installation using IE6 and it works fine. so it seems not to be any general issue.
2 things i would check:
- does a java scrip error occur on the page when you add/edit a text item. you see this in the left lower corner of the browser.
- check the log files on the application server mid-tier.
- but before starting debugging i would go to another pc and try to access your portal from there. this will show you if your client machine is the problem or if the portal installation is the problem.
regards,
christian

Configuration of the rich text editor not working as expected, can you help?

Hi,
I'm having a great deal of trouble customising the available features of teh rich text editor to the point where I believe there is either a bug, or the documentation is incorrect.
I have defined 3 plugins; edit, format and lists.
I can configure edit to enable or disable features, but format and lists cannot be configured and always display as default no matter what I configure.
Here is the configuration:
<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0"
    jcr:primaryType="cq:Dialog"
    xtype="dialog">
    <items jcr:primaryType="cq:WidgetCollection">
        <text
            jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
            fieldLabel="Text"
            hideLabel="{Boolean}false"
            name="./text"
            xtype="richtext">
            <rtePlugins jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
                <edit
                    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                    features="[cut,copy]"/>
                <format
                    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                    features="[bold]"/>
                <lists
                    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                    features="[ordered,unordered]"/>
            </rtePlugins>
            <htmlRules jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
                <links
                    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                    ensureInternalLinkExt="{Boolean}false"
                    protocols="[http://,https://,mailto:,javascript:]"/>
            </htmlRules>
        </text>
    </items>
</jcr:root>
As you can see I specify only bold for format, and ordered and unordered for lists, but all features are still present (edit however is configured as expected).
Hopefully someone can point out a schoolboy error that I have made, or agree this is a bug.
Thanks in advance
Chris

Nope, upgrade to 5.6.1 makes no difference.
@Jr. Jason - What version of CQ5 are you running where you are seeing the above configured correctly?
Also I've found that I can't enable the image plugin.
I'll raise a support call.

Div ids are not persisting in rich text editor of CQ5.6

Hi,
     I created a rich text widget and I added plugins. I activated "misctools" plugin also. I clicked on "sourceedit" and paste the code which contains ids for divs like -
<div id="onboarding" class="row onboarding-content scroller">
</div>
After that I clicked ok and again I opened the dialog. But I'm unable to see id. It shows only -
<div class="row onboarding-content scroller">
</div>
I also created "htmlRules/serializer/config" nodes of type nt:unstructured under the richtext editor widget. It worked in 5.5 but not in 5.6.
Whats the problem behind this? Please suggest me the solution for this. Let me know if there is any other way to persist div ids in richtext editor of cq5.6
Regards,
Arya.

Hi,
     Try this to persist div ids in rich text editor in cq5.6
     Create a folder structure similar to "/libs/cq/ui/rte/core/HtmlSerializer.js" in apps as "/apps/cq/ui/rte/core/HtmlSerializer.js". Make sure that the folder structure and node types are as same as in libs. Then set "idAttribMode" to "keep" in "_init" function of HtmlSerializer.js. It will work
Thanks,
Arya.

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.

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.

Insert Image/Table not working in SP 2007 Rich Text Editor, also in Wiki.

This is an odd one. It's in SP 2007.
When I try to insert a table or image when using the Rich Text editor, it doesn't work. Others with the same rights are able to and I have confirmed that I am following all appropriate steps (and variations thereof). The "Selected Image" field
will not populate when I select and image through the Browse button. When I cut and paste the address into the field, when I click OK, it dumps it.
With tables, if there is an existing table, I can insert another row/column, but I cannot insert a brand new table.
There is NO ERROR message, it just doesn't work.
Help.

Rich text editor in OOTB taskflow not getting rendered in iPad

Hi,
We have a Webcenter Portal(11.1.1.6) Framework application. One of the pages, we have used a Blogs OOTB taskflow.
When we try to access the application from an iPad, the area where i can key in data is missing and it gives a pop up saying "The page could not be loaded".
On analysis of the taskflow, we could see that it was the <rte:editor> component that was missing from the page.
We could understand from certain forums that there is an incompatibility between rich text editor components and Safari browser.
Do we have any alternate way to solve this issue.
Any help is appreciated.

ADF and such WebCenter is not supported on Safari iOS 6 until 11.1.1.7
You probably have to use a different rich text editor however those can interfere with the ADF JS framework.

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 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 !

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.
Regards,
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...

Portlet editor's rich text editor gives javascript error 'access denied'

I created a header portlet using the Publisher's published content portlet template. When I try to edit the portlet content using the rich text editor in the portlet editor window, I get a javascript error in the status bar stating 'access denied'. I can't even type into the rich text editor window, it's totally disabled. Not that I see anything in there anyway. I'm logged in as admin. I've gone into the publisher explorer admin portlet and even 'published' the portlet's content, but to no avail. When I try to 'add header portlet' in my experience definition and try to use this portlet, nothing shows up, where the header portlet should be is just collapsed so my banner is just the top bar view bumped right on top of the nav view. (p.s. does anyone know how to take the alui doc's suggestion of 'disabling the topbar view and nav view' so that I can construct what I want entirely in a header portlet? Anyway, first things first, how do I get that access denied message to disappear in my header portlet's rich text editor and how the heck do I get it show up? Help.

There's probably not a developer in the forum that doesn't uncheck that box the moment they rebuild their machine/ennvironment. Changing the format of error messaging is hardly a fix for the error itself. Personally, I'm uploading 'file content items' now. I create the content in notepad and then upload > file content item. Then create a portlet that uses the pre-existing (was installed w/ publisher using their pte) 'published content item' web service. Go into the portlet's settings and associate the portlet w/ the content item you uploaded. Voila.
As far as using their rich text editor to create new content, I personally have no need anymore. However I'm sure our content managers will probably have to soon so I hope our latest installation will accommodate them w/o error, because I've never been aware of an actual fix to this problem.

Display instantly the length of the text entered in the rich text editor

Hi everybody,
I'm developing an apex application with apex 4.1.1 and Oracle 11.2.
I have a page in which I have a form that allows to create a new message on the database.
A message has a title, description, text and date.
For the text I use the item "rich editor text". The problem is that item doesn't show the length of characters entered (character counter for the textarea). In the database the corresponding column is varchar2(2000). What I do is a validation after submit that checks if the limit 2000 was exceeded or not.
But what I want to do more is to display instantly the length of the text entered in the editor. I have tried to do that through a dynamic action. But the event "onChange" for the item "rich text editor" didn't work.
Has anyone any idea about that issue?
Thanks for helping.
Kind regards,
Edited by: Khadija Khalfallah on Apr 25, 2013 4:06 AM

sorry about that, I missed that tidbit in your OP... well I think there is a good reason why there isn't a count character option -- due to the hidden "html" characters responsible for the "richness" (bold/color, etc) applied to the text would be difficult to count true characters.. if I was bent on doing this, I'd continue using the item you are using, but have a HIDDEN text area that is updated via javascript onkeyup for each keystroke (again, keeping in mind you'd have to filter certain keys) and then that intelligence could be used. I would probably dig through the javascript responsible for the rich text editor (is it still fckeditor??) -- there might already be code in there that isn't clearly visible to you that does this already.. alas, I see now the validity of your challenge.

Query Regarding Rich Text Editor in Oracle 10G

Hello.

Sorry, I referred this already.. This also returns the HTML text. But i don't want the HTML text. I want Normal Text what i enter in the Editor. But as of now all the editors are returning HTML text. So in the front end also it is showing HTML text only.
I entered the text in Editor as
System Defaulted Note
Quote entered
But editor returns as below and the same way it is showing in the Front end application instead of above text.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
System Defaulted Note
