Using RTE in AEM 6.3

[anujk4]

Hi,

We are trying to use RTE in one of the component that we are creating for our product using AEM 6.3. In classic UI, it is pretty much fine. We define:

xType : richtext and define the rtePlugins under this node in the dialog.

This dialog works fine in we use it in touch UI as it is. But if we change the dialog to cq:dialog and follow the standard of creating the dialog according to touch UI, the dialog does not show the plugins i added under rtePlugins. InPlaceEditing is showing few icons (do not want to use this mode), but the dialog or the full screen dialog does not show the icons as configured in the rtePlugins. I tried rtePlugins node under inplaceediting node and under the node that has resourceType as cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext.

I would like to see the plugins in the dialog mode and in the full screen edit mode of touchUI. What am I doing wrong here?

Use this link to view the sample package i have created.

Thank you so much for your help.

You may want to take a look the AEM 6.3 core component "text", it looks like RTE and you can configure it under the policy.

The component is under the /apps/core/wcm/components/text/v1/text.

Hi BigT168, i checked the component you have mentioned. i think i understand the rteplugins used for inplace editing. i wanted to know about the rtePlugins if i want the same functionality in the dialog or full screen dialog.

Thank You

Hi Anuj,

Yes, in /apps/core/wcm/components/text/v1/text, it containing only Inplace Editing RTE plugins.

To include RTE plugins in dialog, you need to create the dialog for Text component and you can include the RTE plugins and uiSettings(Mandatory) in the dialog as shown in the screenshot.

And below is the view of  both inplace editing RTE and Dialog RTE plugins.

InPlace Editing:

Dialog RTE PLugins:

Since, docs https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-3/administer/operations/page-authoring/rich-text-editor.html ​is not much clear, we(smacdonald2008​ and me) will publish the article on RTE plugins in AEM 6.x in July.

If you need the sample RTE plugins package, I can give you.

Hope this helps!!

Hi Ratna:

I would like to get the .content.xml under the cq:dialog. Is it impossible to post your dialog file here? I don't need the whole package, just the dialog definition.

Thanks.

By any chance, do you publish the article on RTE plugins in AEM 6.x in July?

Thanks.
