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.

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.

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.

Making Rich Text Editor with PHP in Dreamweaver - Problem with CKEditor...

Hi,
I am developing a website in Dreamweaver and using the platform of PHP and MYSQL. I need to develop a Rich Text Editor just like the one I am typing at the moment. With my recent searches I have come across with CKEditor as one of the possibilities to add a Rich Text Editor to my website. I have seen older versions of CKEditor also known as FCKEditor which I believe unfortunatley is out of date and obsolete now (discontinued). I cannot find any of the downloads now from anywhere on the web.
I can find FCKEditor tutorials with PHP, but can not find CKEditor tutorials for PHP (when I try googling it, it always gives me FCKEditor page). Can anyone please help me and tell me if I can still make Rich Text Editor using CKEditor and PHP?
If yes, please guide me how? Any tutorials or reading material will be very helpful.
Regards,
Bilal . Khan

Yes, you absolutely can use CKEditor to create a rich text editor with PHP/MySQL.I have tried several editors and it's my choice.
Here is a link to the documentation page:
http://docs.cksource.com/
CKFinder is also very good in conjunction with CKEditor. Although it costs $59/per website, it's better than the free alternatives.

How to extend Rich Text Editor in Portal 10.1.4

Is there a note that explains how to extend the InsertImage feature of the rich text editor in portal 10.1.4.
It was very straightforward in 10.1.2, but the RTE has changed with 10.1.4 and I didn't find an updated version of the following technical note: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/pdf/cm_rte_10gr2_features.pdf
Than'ks

Hi Raphael,
In fact my goal is to extend WebWord Editor and not replacing it. For example I want to add a new Image Picker in WebWord, what I had done in 10.1.2, allowing a user to select an image file from a Portal Page. It was as simple as replacing an url reference in BuildUIEmbed.html (by default pointing to a static image picker page).
It seems not so simple in WebWord, as the URL of the image picker in BuildUIEmbed.html is replaced by a "RAW HTML static source" in the javascript "popup.js" (see InsertImage() function)
I'd like to replace this raw HTML by an url pointing to a dynamic page browsing my images. I allready have done this dynamic page but I'm not a javascript expert. If you have any ideas ...
Than'ks anyway.

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.

Pasting from the clipboard using SharePoint 2010 rich text editor

Currently we are using Microsoft SharePoint 2010. In the Rich Text Editor their is a Paste option in which a user can copy from say a Word document and paste it in their content place holder. Right now I recieve an error message when trying to use the paste button " Your browser is not configured to allow access to your computer’s clipboard. Use Control+X for Cut, Control+C for Copy, and Control+V for paste". I cannot use the paste button for whatever reason. I have tried to change my javascript file within FireFox and it still doesnt work. After working with Microsoft on the problem they informed me that it was FireFox causing the problem and suggested I contact you for information or possible fixes.

See:

Replacing the Rich Text Editor with FCKeditor

Hi,
I've seen a few people mention that they've replaced Portals RTE with FCKeditor in the Portal 10.1.2 release. As ever Oracles documentation is scant (that's being generous) as to how to do this. If anyone has, can you give me an example of how you have modified your buildUIembed.html file.
I've currently got this partially working, the new RTE is displaying, but the page won't submit. Portals JS is trying to .save() the RTE content, a method which it apparently doesn't support!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Dan

Hi Dan,
Per the OracleAS Portal User's Guide (available at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/appserver1012.html)
Possibility of extending or replacing the seeded rich text editor
You can customize the OracleAS Portal rich text editor to support your needs: from simple changes, for example, replacement of buttons on the editor's toolbar, to more complex changes, for example, replacement of the seeded editor with one of your own.
Such changes involve altering the files that comprise the user interface and functions of the seeded rich text editor. This being the case, this feature is intended for advanced OracleAS Portal administrators. Additionally, you should be aware that future upgrades of OracleAS Portal may impact any modifications made to these files. Support for this feature is offered through the Portal Content Area discussion forum and not through Oracle Support;
You may want to pose this question in that forum.
Regards,
Pete

Anyone else have difficulty using third party software and websites with the new MacBook Pro with retinal display?

I just returned my new Mac book pro with retinal display after three very disappointing three weeks of trying to use certain websites and other third party programs (Quickbooks, Raintree) that would not function properly. My husband own the previous MacBook Pro version with the built in CD rom and I was able to use those above mentioned websites and problems with the no difficulties. Did I just happen to get a lemon or is this a function of the computer being too new for third party software?

Programs such as Quickbooks pro for Mac, I was able to import my previous data and I was able to enter about 5 new transactions before it stopped being able to save transactions. Other programs ( Raintree ) that I use via VM software as a windows based program I was able to access and use some features but not others. On the web browsers (both safari and Mozilla) I use a website that has an analyzer feature and it would pull up a blank screen in the place where I would enter pertinent information. They tried pulling this website at the apple store today and the same issue happened. All these programs and website I am able to access and run smoothly with no issues on my husbands MacBook Pro , which is why I returned my MacBook. I just wondered if others were experiencing similar issues with their MacBook with retinal display.

How do you add a third party web text editor to Muse?

Hi Ethan,
As you can see from my Word document, I am a little light on the proper terminology. That's because LVLM comes with inadequate documentation.
I have already followed your recommended protocol for installing a 3rd party sensor (in fact, its the protocol recommended by Mindsensors) with the application set in the Remote Mode (.lvrbt), and it does create a sub-palette with all the Mindsensors functions on it. But when I drag the Mindsensors icon to the Block Diagram and select "Distance Sensor," the Distance Sensor (an IR sensor) doesn't work (even though the Mindsensor's Distance Sensor does work with NXT-G, RobotC and LVLM under other circumstances (see below)).
If I repeat the above process with the application set in the Direct Mode (.vi), I also get the sub-palette with all the Mindsensors functions on it. When I drag the Mindsensors icon to the Block Diagram and select "Distance Sensor," the Distance Sensor does work.
What I need for my mapping application is for the Distance Sensor to work in the Remote Mode. I called NI tech support and the first engineer told me to simple drag the Mindsensors Functions (.vi) onto the Block Diagram. I did this, but when I selected the Distance Sensor, the icon appeared, but the sensor did not work. Since I have no idea what's under the hood of the vi or a function, I assumed that simply dragging the vi/function onto the desktop didn't install the vi/function properly. I went back to the Applications Engineer, and he confessed that he did not understand the LVLM product.
My frustration is being punted to new people, none of whom so far (other than you, of course) understand LVLM.

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.

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 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.

Character Counter for a Rich Text Editor

Hi,
Happy New Year.
Ok.
Well, I'm not expert on this, but this peace of code might help you get started.
Code should go to page JavaScript -> Execute when Page Loads
var lEditor=CKEDITOR.instances.Px_YOUR_EDITOR;
lEditor.on('contentDom', function() {
lEditor.document.on('keyup', function(e) {
var len=lEditor.getData().replace(/<[^>]*>|\s/g, '').length;
/* do here something. JavaScript valiable "len" holds editor text length e.g. */
/* alert(len); */
Replace Px_YOUR_EDITOR with your editor name.
I do not have any idea does it work on all browser. I did test with Firefox.
Regards,
Jari
