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

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!

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.

J.

Rich Text Editor functionality for a DIV tag in a publishing page in SharePoint online

Hi,
We are having a requirement where we need RTE behavior of SharePoint 2013 Rich Html Field for a custom DIV. The scenario goes like this:
1. I have a publishing page
2. I dropped the content editor web part and to that content editor web part I will point to an HTML file that needs to be rendered in that content editor web part
3. I have one DIV in the above mentioned HTML files and I want that div to be editable and I need to RTE options for that DIV.
How to accomplish the above behavior?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create html rich text editor for a DIV tag in a publishing page in SharePoint online.
You can create your own Rich Text Editor.
Here are some great blogs for your reference:

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...

How to use Cache Management Library (CML) for custom applications?

Hello,
We are planning the migration of multiple applications (J2EE, Portal, Web-Dynpro for Java) from 7.01 to 7.3 and we would like to replace some custom cache implementations with a central cache management provided by the SAP Web-AS Java.
Several SAP standard services (e.g. UME, Configuration Manager, Scheduler) seems to use the "Cache Management Library" (CML):
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/4a/f833eb306628d2e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm]
Such caches can be monitored using SAP Management Console (AS Java Caches).
Portal Runtime (cache_type=CML) and Web Page Composer can also be configured to use CML:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/49/d822a779cf0e80e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm]
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2ru/helpdata/en/13/76db395a3140fcb17b8d24f5966766/frameset.htm]
So our questions:
How to use CML for custom applications?
Is there any example or documentation available?
Kind Regards,
Dirk

Thanks Vidyut! You've answered my question.
I placed the jar file in the $CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib directory. But where should I place the taglib TLD file? And how should I reference it in web.xml?
Currently, my web.xml is as follows and it doesn't work.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app

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 and XSS

We have started to use rich text editors within our application and there is a nice little feature that will escape script tags on insert into the database:
i.e the code:
<script>alert(1);</script>is stored in the database escaped.
This is great as it guards against Cross Site Scripting as the value is treated as text and not evaluated as script when rendered out of the database.
If however you edit your escaped text in source mode within the editor and replace this with the original un-escaped text, the DML procedure to get the values into the database do not escape the values. I was wondering if there is a reason why text is escaped of script tags in a rich text editor but not when the RTE is switched to Source Mode.
If this is a bug, I can raise an SR.

Duncs

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

Make changes to the rich text-editor toolbar

I need to add and remove some functionality of the rich text-editor toolbar. Based on the documentation: "Oracle Portal 10g release 2 - enhanced rich text editor", I can modified the Rich Text Editor (RTE) by modifying a file located in http://<host>:<port>/images/buildUIembed.html. To remove or rearrange a button within the RTE toolbar, I need to modify the drawEditor() function. I was able to do this; however, now I need to add one functionality: add the header format. I want to add the functionality of having "h1", "h2", and "h3" in some type of combo box. I know how to remove, but I am not sure how to go ahead and add this functionality. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marcelo

I need exactly this feature too...
Have you find some information?
I plan to change to other rich editors (as TinyMCE) but I have no documentation about how to do it...
