Defining rich text options

We can configure IBM Web Content Manager to use either the standard rich text editor, an advanced rich text editor, or a third-party rich text editor in rich text fields.

There are three options available when configuring the default rich text editor for the authoring portlet:

Default

Select this option to use the default JavaScript editor. This does not require a working Java runtime environment on the client computer.

EditLive! Java Editor

Select this option to use the EditLive! Java Editor. This requires a working Java runtime environment on the client computer.

Custom

Select Custom allows us to use a third-party rich text editor as the default editor. Before using a compatible third-party rich text editor, you should read the installation and configuration instructions of the third-party rich text editor. These should include instructions for enabling the third-party rich text editor to be used in a Web Content Manager solution.

When configuring a third-party rich text editor, you need to copy a JSP file supplied by the third-party rich text editor. This file is used to launch the third-party rich text editor. We enter the name of this JSP file in the Rich Text Options section of the authoring portlet configuration.

If the third-party rich text editor is not available the standard rich text editor is used.

Storing JSP Files:

JSP files can be located:

• within the PROFILE_ROOT/installedApps/node-name/wcm.ear/ilwwcm.war directory of the server.

  The JSP page is also stored in the client war directory of the local rendering portlet or of the servlet or portlet that calls the JSP, if using the Web Content Manager API. For example, to render a JSP page on a local rendering portlet, you would also need to store a copy of the JSP file under PROFILE_ROOT/installedApps/node-name/PA_WCMLocalRendering.ear/ilwwcm-localrende.war

• within any other web application running on portal. When referencing JSP files in another web application, use the following path: contextPath;jspPath

  For example: /wps/customapplication;/jsp/editor.jsp
