Implementation guide​

The implementation below describes implementing Wiris Math Type using cloud services. In order to test the tool in an application do the following:

  • download and upload Math Type Wiris JavaScript file to application files (or copy from the sample application files)
  • enable Math Type Wiris using the plug-in attribute Initialization PL/SQL Code.
Initialization PL/SQL Code
/* enable Math Wiris Type*/
UC_FROALA_RTE.g_plug_wiris_enable           := true;

/* reference math wiris JavaScript file, the file can be copied from */
UC_FROALA_RTE.g_plug_wiris_js               := '#APP_IMAGES#/wiris.js';

/* display Math formula icon in specified toolbar group and on given position*/
UC_FROALA_RTE.g_plug_wiris_editor_group     := UC_FROALA_RTE.c_toolbar_group_rich;
UC_FROALA_RTE.g_plug_wiris_editor_pos       := 1;

/* display Chemistry formula icon in specified toolbar group and on given position*/
UC_FROALA_RTE.g_plug_wiris_chemistry_group  := UC_FROALA_RTE.c_toolbar_group_rich;
UC_FROALA_RTE.g_plug_wiris_chemistry_pos    := 2;

Executing the code above will result in:

  • Enabling Wiris Math Type for page item implementing Rich Text Editor Pro
  • Adding Math Type button opening Math Formulas to the toolbar group rich at position 1
  • Adding Math Type button opening Chemistry Formulas to the toolbar group rich at position 2
PL/SQL Variables

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

Restrict usage for specific user's roles​

The example code below enables Wiris Math Type only for user's authorized using Math Type User authorization scheme defined in an application shared components.

Initialization PL/SQL Code
if APEX_AUTHORIZATION.IS_AUTHORIZED('Math Type User') then
  UC_FROALA_RTE.g_plug_wiris_enable := true;
end if;
