Direct ICT announces the first BETA of the Servoy Html Editor (SHE) plugin
Methods
The plugin exposes eleven main functions to a servoy developer environment-
openFile(String filename)
This function opens a file in the server given by the filename parameter. The fileName parameter can contain full path or relative path. The relative paths are searched in servoy/server/webapps/root directory.
openStringSaveInFile(String htmlString,String filename)
This function opens the given htmlString in the editor. The save operation in the editor will save the html into a file in server given by the file name parameter. The fileName parameter can contain full path or relative path. The relative paths are searched in servoy/server/webapps/root directory.
openTableColumn(String serverName,String tableName,String columnName, String whereConditio)
This function opens the data in a servoy db field . The field is given by serverName, tableName , colummName and whereCondition parameters. The whereCondition is used to select the row. The syntax of where condition is same as SQL where clause excluding the where word. If the whereCondition returns multiple rows the first row is selected. The save operation in the editor will save the data into the same field.
example: openTableColumn(“user_data”,“editor”,“html”,“id=1”);
openStringSaveinTableColumn(String htmlString,String serverName,String tableName, String columnName,String whereCondition)

I18N
The language is selected based on the servoy local settings. The I18N keys for the plugin are included in the SHEsample.servoy example servoy application. Default language is English. So import this WITH sample-data
I am using mySQL for my application. I have refresh issue showing the edited HTML instantly in the servoy field. I edit the HTML when a transaction is on. Does this cause any issue?
Can any one of your method return the edited HTML? This could solve the refresh issue. ie I could set the returned HTML string into the servoy field directly.
I tried databaseManager.refreshRecordFromDatabase(foundset,foundset.getSelectedIndex()) already.
But it did not work. It may be because I am in the transaction mode and not commited to the database yet. Any other idea? How about my idea of returning edited HTML string?
Could you please give me a link for the latest version because the one I have seems missing lot of things like inserting table, image etc..
hugh??
We allready had that features in the beta-version.
Search for the table-icon, and the image-icon. (the image-feature even allows you to upload images to the server!
Also can I copy & past from word document with or without any formatting?
Hi Harjo, are there any updates for the html plugin. We’ve been using the editor on and off for almost a year now and think it is a great addition to servoy.
im still using the original version which has a couple of bugs one of which is causing us problems when we use it. the editor seems to wrap the html content and also indent it with a couple of spaces. This is causing us a problem when we reder the html in our application which we are doing in Flash. The word wraps and indentations show in the text on the page completely altering its layout. I tried to cut past a text example in the post but all the formatting got removed so ive attached a couple screen shots instead which hopefully give you the idea. It shows the text appering normally in Normal view but then wrapped and indented in the html view. is there anyway to stop this or has it been fixed in a update version?
The second bug is not so serious, when editing existing text in the Normal View of the Editor plugin, when ever you hit enter to add a carriage return the cursor also skips once space forward in the text , which means that if you hit enter again, the first character on the new line gets left behind. and this happens each time you hit enter within exisiting text. Its obviously possible to get around this my hitting the back arrow to reposition the cursos to its correct place after each carriage return. doing that is not that much hassle but it would be nicer not to have to do.
Hope this helps. Would really appreciate the fix to the first problem as it is stopping us from using the editor at the moment. Everything else with the editor has been great, thanks for creating the plugin.
