Implementation guide​

To enable Track Changes plug-in use attribute Initialization PL/SQL Code.

Initialization PL/SQL Code
UC_FROALA_RTE.g_plug_trackchanges_enable := true;
UC_FROALA_RTE.g_plug_trackchanges_group  := UC_FROALA_RTE.c_toolbar_group_rich;
UC_FROALA_RTE.g_plug_trackchanges_pos    := 1;

Executing the code above will result in:

  • Enabling Track Changes for page item implementing Rich Text Editor Pro
  • Adding Track Changes button to the toolbar group rich at position 1
PL/SQL Variables

The PL/SQL variables used to enable and configure Wiris MathType are described in the plug-in package documentation.

Using a page item attribute Initialization JavaScript Code, a developer can specify if show changes is active by default.

function( pOptions ){
  pOptions.showChangesEnabled = true;
  return pOptions;
}

Pending changes on page submit​

From plug-in release 26.1.0, when the Track Changes plug-in is enabled and the editor holds pending changes, submitting the page - or running an upload on demand - asks the end user what should happen:

  • OK accepts all pending changes and continues the action
  • Cancel stops the action, leaving the pending changes in the editor

Without this, a page submit stored the editor content while the pending changes were still unresolved.

Restrict usage for specific user's roles​

The example code below enables Track Changes only for user's authorized using Track Changes authorization scheme defined in an application shared components.

Initialization PL/SQL Code
if APEX_AUTHORIZATION.IS_AUTHORIZED('Track Changes') then
  UC_FROALA_RTE.g_plug_trackchanges_enable := true;
end if;
