Defining editor options

You can configure IBM® Web Content Manager to use different editors for rich text and HTML fields.

Rich text editor

EditLive! JavaScript Editor

EditLive! Java Editor

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

Custom

Selecting Custom allows you to use a third-party rich text editor as your 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. You 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.

HTML editor

Default

Select this option to use the default HTML editor.

Custom

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

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

If the third-party HTML editor is not available the default HTML editor is used.

Storing JSP files: JSP files are stored within a web application that runs on the portal. To reference a JSP file in another web application, use the following path: contextPath;jspPath. For example: /wps/customapplication;/jsp/jspFilename.jsp.

A dynamic context path value can be defined by adding a token to the context path that corresponds to a key and value pair to the Web Content Manager configuration service environment provider. When this key is used as the token in the jsp value field, it is replaced dynamically at render time. For example: [my.custom.key];myfile where my.custom.key is a constant within the Web Content Manager configuration service.
