omnis-legacy-rich-text

The JS Rich Text Editor from Studio 6.1.x re-implemented as a JSON-defined control for Studio 8.1.x.

Omnis Studio 8.0 included a rewrite of the JS Rich Text Editor control, to base it on Quill JS. This repository provides a JSON-defined control which implements the original Rich Text Editor from Studio 6.x (based on NicEdit), which can then be used in Studio 8.1 and later.

Contents

This repository includes the following:

net.omnis.legacyrichtext

A folder containing the JSON definition file control.json as generated by the JSON Control Editor available from the Omnis Studio Add-Ons menu together with images used by the Omnis Studio component store and design environment.

ctl_net_omnis_legacyrichtext.js

The Javascript file used by Omnis Studio to create the client implementation of the Rich Text Editor.

example/JSRICHTEXT_LEGACY

A folder containing an Omnis Studio library exported as JSON to demonstrate the Rich Text Editor component.

Installation

1. Ensure Omnis Studio is closed.
2. Place the folder net.omnis.legacyrichtext into the /html/controls (not /htmlcontrols) of your Omnis Studio tree, first creating the folder if it does not already exist.
3. Copy ctl_net_omnis_legacyrichtext.js into /html/scripts of your Omnis Studio tree.
4. Add the following lines to your /html/jsctempl.htm file under the Omnis Studio JavaScript client scripts comment:

 <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/ctl_net_omnis_legacyrichtext.js"></script>

5. Start Omnis Studio.
6. The control should now be accessible from the Component Store's 'JSON Components' tab for JS Remote Form classes. To open the example library:
7. With the libraries node selected in the Studio Browser, press the New Lib from JSON hyperlink, set the JSON Tree Path to the example/JSRICHTEXT_LEGACY folder (containing demo library exported as JSON) and select a location for your new library.
8. Press Import and the demo library should be ready to use.
