Custom rte plugin like dropdown. [AEM as cloud]

Avatar

Level 2

Hi Team,
I would like to create a richText inside Multifield and need to create a custom rte plugin where i can set up two dropdown fields to the plugin for rich text.

indise Primary Attribute dropdown we have some values like : PrimaryAttribute1, PrimaryAttribute2 , PrimaryAttribute3, PrimaryAttribute4

and  Secondary Attribute dropdown we have some values like: SecondaryAttribute1, SecondaryAttribute2 and SecondaryAttribute3.

 

The scenaro here is: 

In the dialog we need to add richtext. This richtext should have all the RTE plugins. Along with this we need to create a new RTE plugin.
This RTE plugin will contain 2 tagfields using which author could select a primary attribute and a secondary attribute. Once the primary and secondary attributes are chosen, these attributes will be included in the text like “##<primary-attibute>,<secondary-attribute>@@”.

  1. Example value of text: “This is the product title ##primaryattribute:product-attributes,secondaryayytibute:product-attributes@@“.

  2. Author can choose primary and secondary attributes multiple times in this rich text.

  3. Default html tag that should surround richtext val should be “div“. In the para format RTE Plugin the first item should be div.

It looks like these are standard tags that you would like to flag text in your RTE (cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext). Unless if you have a more custom usecase.

 

There are two plugins RTE that you can try to use:
1. paraformat

2. styles

 

1. Paraformat example:

<paraformat
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
features="*">
<formats jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
<default_p
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
description="Paragraph"
tag="p"/>
<default_h1
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
description="Heading 1"
tag="h1"/>
<default_h2
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
description="Heading 2"
tag="h2"/>
<default_h3
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
description="Heading 3"
tag="h3"/>
<default_h4
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
description="Heading 4"
tag="h4"/>
<default_h5
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
description="Heading 5"
tag="h5"/>
<default_h6
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
description="Heading 6"
tag="h6"/>
</formats>
</paraformat>

 

2. Styles

 

<styles
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
    features="*">
    <styles jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
        <product1
            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
            cssName="product-1"
            text="Product 1"/>
        <product2
            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
            cssName="product-2"
            text="Product 2"/>
        <product3
            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
            cssName="product-3"
            text="Product 3"/>
</styles>

Hi @BrianKasingli 
Thanks for response, It is a custom plugin. I have updated the usecase in the above question.

I have used paraformat for the heading, but here we have to create a custom plugin which can be used multiple times in a richtext.
Could you please check the updated usecase.

Could you please let know

  • If the attributes are to be populated to any text selection or is it expected on the enclosing div of RTE content
  • the expected HTML markup upon choosing the attributes. 

Hi @Vijayalakshmi_S 

  • If the attributes are to be populated to any text selection or is it expected on the enclosing div of RTE content :: scenario here is let say if we select primary attribute or secondary attribute dropdown value the we can see those value on enclosing div of RTE e.g. This is the product title ##project:product-Primaryattributes/ProductData/Title,project:product-Secondaryattributes/productData/Desc@@
    • here from primary attribute dropdown we have selected value : project:product-Primaryattributes/ProductData/Title
    • and from secondary attribute dropdown we have selected value : project:product-Secondaryattributes/productData/Desc
  • So here for choosing the markup is like we are providing further values to text string that we are entering over richtext
