Using &Item. syntax in Rich Text (ck editor)

Morning Forum
We are trying to use the &ITEM. syntax in Apex 4.1.1 CKE Editor/Rich Text Editor. The editor however converts the & to & ....
Does anyone have any experience in something something similar and how it can be resolved ?
Thanks
Pierre

Are you saying you have a Source Value or a Default Value to an Editor, and that doesn't convert &PXXX_TEXT. when you load the page?
I made something similar and had it working. Can you please elaborate?
Tks,

Safari Mac won't display Rich Text HTML editor in Yahoo web mail

"Safari 3.2 (Mac)", "Yahoo email", "Compose Message" Toolbar, Rich Text (HTML) editor.
In Yahoo's Compose Message editor, I don't see the Rich Text (HTML) editor and its toolbar while using Safari 3.2 in Yahoo mail (classic). In Firefox, I see the Rich Text editor toolbar and it works fine.
I've searched on this forum, including Yahoo and others, and don't see this complaint. Is there something I've overlooked?
Is Safari Mac even capable of running the Rich Text editor in Yahoo email?

Hi Semi,
I found this in the Yahoo Mail Help:
How do I write in BOLD, italics or Color, or change font size?
On the Compose page, above the upper-right corner of the compose window, there's a link that either says Rich Text or Plain Text. Click this link to switch back and forth between the two. Since the link is the switch, you'll actually see Plain Text when you're in Rich Text.
In Rich Text, you can change the look of your message in a bunch of different ways. Again, since the link is there to switch from one mode to the other, if you see Plain Text, that means you're already in Rich Text! If you see Rich Text, click it.
The Rich Text toolbar appears above the Compose window.
Spell check
Going from left to right, the first button is the 'abc' spell-check button. Click it anytime to check your spelling starting at the beginning of your email. When you're finished, click Close.
Font and Size
Font: The Font button has two F’s on it. Click it to view other Font choices and select another Font.
Size: Click the button with two A’s on it to choose the size of type you want. Browse the menu and click the size you want.
Bold, Italics and Underline
B is for Bold, I is for Italics, and U is for Underline. Emphasize your point! :o)
To use these formatting tools, either click a button and start typing, or, select a block of text (or one word), and then click a button to format the text.
color
Text Color: Click the "T" button to see a palette of many colors. Select the text color you want, and start typing. Or, select a block of text (or one word), and then click the button to apply the color.
Background color: Want to give your text a background color? Either click the highlighter color you want and then start typing, or, select the text to which you'd like to add a background, then press this button to apply the highlighting color.
Emoticons
Add emotional oomph to what you say by selecting from the list of graphical emoticons.
Links and Lines
Globe with Links button: Insert a web site link!
Line button: Insert a horizontal line. Handy!
Alignment
Choose from flush-left, centered, or flush-right text alignment.
Lists
Bullets and Numbering button: create bulleted or numbered lists.
Indenting
Decrease Indent: Place the cursor where you would like to move the text to the left and click the "Decrease Indent" button.
Increase Indent: Place the cursor where you would like to move the text to the right and click the "Increase Indent" button.
Yahoo hasn't the best rich text editor out there for e-mail. Why not use Mac Mail... so much easier and supports RT. Yahoo having laid off personnel, I doubt if their internet based mail client sees much in the way of improvement anytime soon.

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?

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...

Using third party Rich Text Editors with Portal Release 2 (9.0.2)

Hi Everyone,
We would like to use some third party Rich Text editor with portal as the Oracle Rich Text editor is fairly basic and it does not fulfill our business requirements.
Some of the things we are hoping to accomplish by through this text editor (after customizing) are:
Ability to select any page within the portal to add as link in the Text Editor.
Ability to select images from the portal repository.
Create HTML Tables.
Support of copy/paste from Microsoft Word.
I am looking for any suggestions or experiences on how this can be done.
Thanks in advance..
Niraj

Niraj,
There's a RTE posted on knowledge exchange (with source), in my folder.

JHS setting for the Display Type of Rich Text Editor

In the "Display Type" settings for an item, there is no option in the JHS Definition Editor to choose a "Rich Text Editor" type. Is that intentional or an oversight?
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,
don't know why it's left out, but you can implement a rich text editor with a custom template (that's the answer I got when I asked the question several months ago). Here's the template code I use for implementing a rich text editor in a table:
#macro (EDITOR_POPUP)
<af:popup id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}Popup" contentDelivery="lazyUncached" eventContext="launcher">
<af:dialog modal="true" resize="on" title="#TEXT_EDITOR_TITLE()" id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}Dialog">
<af:richTextEditor rows="10" columns="100" #ITEM_VALUE_IN_FORM()
simple="true" id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}EditorText"/>
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
#end
#set ($popupId = ${JHS.page.addPopup("${JHS.current.item.bindingName}Popup","${JHS.engine.fullNamingContainerPath}","#EDITOR_POPUP()")})
#set ($popupDialogId = ${popupId.replaceAll("Popup","Dialog")})
<af:panelLabelAndMessage #ITEM_RENDERED_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_PARTIAL_TRIGGERS() #ITEM_HINT()>
<af:richTextEditor #ITEM_ID_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_VALUE_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_PROMPT_IN_TABLE()
#ITEM_REQUIRED_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_ROWS() #ITEM_COLUMNS()
#ITEM_READ_ONLY_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_ADDITIONAL_PROPERTIES()
#ITEM_DISABLED_IN_TABLE() #DEPENDS_ON_ITEM_PROPS_TABLE()
simple="true" partialTriggers="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}EditorLink ${popupDialogId}">
#REGULAR_EXPRESSION_VALIDATOR()
#VALIDATOR_BINDING_IN_TABLE()
#NUMBER_CONVERTER()
</af:richTextEditor>
<af:commandLink id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}EditorLink"
#JHS_PROP("rendered" $JHS.current.item.renderEditorLinkInTable)
immediate="true" partialSubmit="true">
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId="${popupId}"/>
<af:image source="/jheadstart/images/editor.gif" id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}Icon"

Rich Text Editor: Block cut and paste

I have a text block where users can type in a statement. If I use the standard default Text Area, I can use Javascript to prevent them from pasting in text (actually, I need to block both cut and paste). This is because the statement has to be typed in manually - not copied from a previous statement.
However, if I use any of the Rich Text Editors, i can't block the paste command (either CTRL-V or the right-click and "Paste"). Is there any way in either of the editors (FCKEditor or CK Editor 3) to block the ability to paste into the form? I would like to give them some of the additional editting features (spell check, etc) but I can't let them paste.
Please advise.
Thank you in advance.

This may be a result of the fonts the Word doc used.
Pages does not use an algorithm to 'create' an italicised character from the 'base' version. It can show italics only if the font used contains an italic set.
Paste and match style pastes only the bare text, and uses the font and other attributes already set at the insertion point in the Pages document.

Barry

HTML email saving as Rich Text

Hi,
We are having an issue with Outlook 2013 on Exchange 2013, where we need to save emails on a regular basis and it loses embedded attachments.
The emails when we attempt to save them are in html format – but when they save they auto change to Rich Text and as such they lose the attachment.
We found another guy who has the same issue
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/392648-outlook-items-converting-to-rich-text
and there seems to be no solution – drama is I really need one !!!!! HELP!
We have so far: -
Tried a ‘save as’ to outlook msg with and without uni code.
When saved email is opened, it is in ‘Rich Text’ format
Embedded attachments are missing.
Also when responding to emails that are received from clients outside of the organisation, it converts the email to rich text and if sent, do not get past the exchange and remain in the ‘submission queue’ with “a storage transient failure” error for 3 days
before bouncing back as undeliverable.
TNEF was enabled which gave a whole lot of other errors so was disabled again

Why can't I compose in Rich Text?

In Mail, I used to be able to compose in rich text, but at some point, the ability disappeared. I've gone to Preferences and made sure that "compose in rich text," is ON, but the button on the tool bar stays grayed out.
I can get underline and strikethrough, but not double of either. I can get text or doc color. I can NOT get bold or italics, which I need. This problem started, I believe, after a recent upgrade.
Another strange symptom, possibly related: When creating a listing in eBay using Safari, where you "describe your item", there should be a check box that allows you to select either Rich or Plain Text. It used to default to rich text and offer all kinds of formatting tools. That has disappeared and I am now able to edit that screen only in plain text. If I use Firefox, I get all the tools and all is well.
Bottom line: I have lost Rich Text composing capability in Mail, plus I'm having a similar problem in Safari. In fact, right now, in Safari, trying to compose in this text box, the bold and italic and underline buttons are not working -- they just apply the symbols you see there. I'm using 10.4.11, everything updated.
What is wrong?

Fred: thanks for coming back. Your questions guided me to figuring it out. As I said, I had strikethru and underline. What I didn't have was bold and italic. Reason -- I had switched to a font that didn't have them.
groan. sorry to waste your time with a dumb question. well, you didn't waste your time. You helped me. THANKS.
Chris: What you said is true. The text you see bold, italic and underlined was created on this forum using the web page. It was not created in Mail. As a totally unrelated issue, eBay seems to have an issue with Safari. Again, briefly: When you describe an item for sale, you normally get a tool bar JUST LIKE YOU DO ON THIS SITE, except it's more extensive. I did an on-line chat with a Help person and he asked if I could use Internet Explorer. I told him I'd rather jump off the roof, but I would try Firefox, which I did, and the tool bar came back. This is an eBay/Safari issue... two points:
I have used Safari before to list items on eBay and I'm sure I got the tool bar. This was about a year ago. Something is changed, and not for the better. This is not the only instance where Firefox has proved to work where Safari wouldn't, and it's a little disappointing as I am basically a mac kind of dude.
I thought it extremely unlikely that it would have anything to do with the Mail font/format problem, but there was a curious parallel there... now I regret mentioning it. HHIS. (head hung in shame).

Rich text not working...

Under preferences in Mail, I have the message format set to Rich Text and under fonts and colours; I have the message font set to Verdana from the 'windows office compatible' fonts. However, not a single email client that I am sending messages to is interpreting this font. Outlook is simply displaying the text in Times New Roman, which looks awful. Why is this not working?
Also, when I send a message with a 'windows compatible' attachment, outlook cuts off all of the text after the attachment and shows it as a HTML attachment???

So it is intended only for viewing, not for message composition???
Surely you can see my frustration?
Yes. Sorry, but I wasn't very clear. The Message Font in Mail preferences is for displaying plain text messages and setting the "default" font. Rich text messages will be displayed in whatever font they were created with.
The Fonts menu is useful for message composition. But in order to create a rich text message, you must change the font from the default, whatever that default happens to be. So, it is in your interests to make sure that the Message Font in Mail Preferences is not the font you want to use for creating new rich text messages.
It is the policy of Apple Mail to prefer to send plain text messages whenever possible. Even if you select rich text, Apple Mail will only send plain text if it thinks you haven't used any rich text features. This is a design decision by Apple because they know how much trouble sending and receiving rich text messages really is.
I send a message to a client, attach an excel spreadsheet... When I receive a reply, I see my quoted message; in Times New Roman, with the most important body of text missing, just because it was typed after the attachment. I basically sent a message that made no sense and that looked very unprofessional.
You can't go by that. A message sent to a Windows user and returned as a quoted reply is likely to have no relation whatsoever to how it looked on your display or how it looked on your recipient's display when you sent it.
Also, you seem to be encountering a well-known bug in Outlook. It sounds like what you actually sent was a plain text message with attachments. Outlook is known to handle such messages poorly. It is best in such situations to put your attachments at the end of the message and/or force a rich text message by selecting a non-default font. (That means a font other that what you have defined as the default message font).
All of your content made it to the recipient, but any text after the attachment shows up as a text attachment. When dealing with users with this old version of Outlook, make sure all of your attachments are at the end of your message. As soon as Outlook sees the first attachment (which will be anything (image, attachment, styled text) that isn't plain text) it treats all following content as attachments.
His response however (composed in Outlook) looked much more reputable. The message displayed in the same font that it was composed with, in navy blue (because it was a reply) and none of the text was missing!
Yes. That is because Apple Mail is a far better mail program than Outlook. Apple Mail can properly read Outlook e-mail but Outlook has trouble with anything that wasn't built by Outlook.
I just don't understand why Apple haven't given us the choice? We have the ability to send a message in rich text, and it works. But we have no way to select that formatting as a default without using some botched up signature. That makes no sense!
E-mail is just very difficult to get right. The MIME mail standard is 20 years old. To this day, e-mail programs continue to have trouble with it. You are taking your frustrations out on Apple, but that is misdirected. I have been using Apple e-mail software since 1996. Apple has been steadily dumbing it down in order to allow its messages to show up properly in Outlook and other PC e-mail programs.
When sending e-mail to old e-mail clients, try to use only plain text. Make sure your attachments are at the end of your message. If you want to try using rich text, make sure to select a non-default font. You can argue with me and complain about Apple all you want, but that is going to have zero effect in fixing Outlook 2003.

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 !

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 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 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.

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"?

Using a rich text editor to style a Flash text field

I've been trying to build a user interface that would allow someone to change the content of a dynamic field (loaded from a text file) using a rich text editor. However the editor inserts inline css style tags like <span style="text-decoration: underline;"> which Flash aparently can't understand. If the editor were instead to insert the following: <span class="ul"> where the stylesheet defined it as:
.ul {
text-decoration: underline;
display: inline;
then everything would be fine. But it doesn't and I can't change it.
I am currently using a rich text editor that I access as follows:
var myEditor1 = new YAHOO.widget.SimpleEditor('editText', {
    height: '600px',
    width: '700px',
    dompath: true, //Turns on the bar at the bottom
    handleSubmit: true
The editor above is "applied" to a textarea within an html form. Then the text is saved to a text field with the embeded styles.
Any ideas on how I handle this so the user doesn't have to insert css rules by hand?
thanks much

Does anyone know of a richtext editor that uses just html tags (not css like <span style="text-decoration: underline;">) or that uses css styling that Flash as3 can understand?
