Images in this document

All images in this rich text CLOB are referenced with #APP_IMAGES# substitution string. These images don't increase the CLOB size, but the plug-in will attempt to download them (from the application's static images repository) and then upload them. Images are downloaded because they are not using a URL to the plug-in RESTful get handler, and they are treated as images from the WEB.

• Test dynamic actions for uploading images without page submission.

Supporting plug-ins

When you decide to purchase our Rich Text Editor Pro, you get the Oracle APEX item plug-in and the supporting dynamic action and process plug-in. We created these plug-ins to make the plug-in configuration and CLOB handling (starting with APEX 19.2) seamless and effortless using APEX dynamic action and page process interface. 

Dynamic action

The supporting plug-in contains a set of settings and actions to customize the plug-in instance directly on the page or in the application scope using the APEX global page. Starting with the plug-in version 23.2, you can upload images on demand without the need to submit the page. Your demand can be optionally followed with three JavaScript callbacks executed when uploading images is finished, canceled (automatically or by the end-user), or when the upload process is interrupted by a JavaScript error. 

Explore dynamic action supporting the plug-in's capabilities through our illustrative examples.

Process

The supporting process plug-in enables APEX session CLOB handling for rich text starting with APEX 19.2. It also provides an easy way to handle uploaded images:

• Uploaded images can be saved in the database, referencing the currently modified rich text document
• Uploaded images that are removed by the end-user can be deleted from the database using PL/SQL code

Examples

Within the Rich Text Editor Pro examples repository, you'll find 18 fully-fledged configurations. Explore how this plug-in enhances native form components (starting from APEX 19.2), and embrace its effortless usage with APEX 22.2 and above (supporting native APEX session state).

Examples encompass:

• Customized toolbar demonstrations (reminiscent of Google Mail, Calendar, and Docs).
• Plug-in PL/SQL API utilization for CLOB handling.
• Configuration of the plug-in upload workflow.
• Supported item source types.
• Integration of 3rd party plug-ins.
