Whizzywig

Hi

I am trying to attac a visual-editor (Whizzywig from Unverse) to a textArea
field. It works fine when I type directly into the input box. The problem
starts when I try to paste text from any other editor (including Notepad
unformatted) into it. Ofbiz throws an error "< greater and less-than >"
symbols not allowed when it tries to validate the field. I have tried
various clean it tools - but it does not work. The Unverse website is not
helpful either. Any ideas?

Regards

Gavin

Re: Whizzywig

The editor lets you see how it will be shown in a webrowser, however
the actual paste is the html code of what you see.
if you look at the html code you will see "< greater and less-than >".
I am not sure where you are pasting into ofbiz so can not comment further.

Hi Gavin:
Not sure if this is your problem or not, but I had a similar issue with
email message content. The solution was to change the attribute(s) on
the Service(s) used from something like:

<attribute name="textArea" type="String" mode="IN" optional="true"
allow-html="safe"/>
to:
<attribute name="textArea" type="String" mode="IN" optional="true"
allow-html="any"/>

There was something in the pasted text (a hidden character or something
that the OFBiz HTML Service validation didn't like.)

Of course, this assumes that you are calling a Service on the backend
and not processing the form some other way :-)

So, to make this change you have to figure out which Service is being
called when your form's textarea is being processed on the backend.

Best of luck.
Ruth

If it's at the UI level and you use form widget, try to use encode-output="true"
There are examples OOTB

Thanks Ruth.

I added allow-html="safe" to the attribute element and that resolved the
issue.

RE: Whizzywig

editor is used...why add something which is already there?

RE: Whizzywig

Hi Hans

I am using HtmlEdit under "/images/htmledit" which is already included in ofbiz - not adding something new.
