Hi guys/gals

Im doing some custom sections and been happy with angular, however some of the buildin property editors for umbraco is really hard to figure out!

Currently i have an RTE i want to reuse, my code is like so:

Editor

                 <umb-property property="property"
                                  ng-repeat="property in rteProperties">
                        <umb-editor model="property"></umb-editor>
                    </umb-property>

JS:

 $scope.text = "";
 $scope.rteProperties = [{
                label: 'label',
                description: 'desc',
                view: 'rte',
                value: $scope.text,
                config: {
                    editor: {
                        readonly: true,
                        toolbar: [],
                        stylesheets: [],
                        dimensions: { height: 400 }
                    }
                }

            }];

Can you give me some pointers why the text in $scope.text is not updating when updating the tinymce editor ?

Hi!

You can't set the value to a variable as it's already a variable.

Basiclly the value of the RTE in your case will be stored in $scope.rteProperties.value - if you need a initial value you would set that like this:

$scope.rteProperties.value = 'This is my initial value'

Then when you want to store it / read the value

var myRteValue = $scope.rteProperties.value

I wrote a blog post about this some years ago but it should still be relevant: http://www.enkelmedia.se/blogg/2013/12/4/umbraco-7-use-the-rich-text-editor-tinymce-in-a-custom-section.aspx

Hope this helps!

Hello Markus

Thank you for the answer, i was using that blog earlier where this was one of the options, really appreciate the effort!

I was thinking in knockout mode where one would make a binding for an editor and pass in the observable to use.

The answer ended up being $scope.rteProperties[0].value that returned the correct value.

Thank you for the help, still new to these custom sections but they are growing on me, angular is very powerful :)

Yes, your right! $scope.rteProperties[0].value is the why to go =D Forgot about the array.
