For Adobe ColdFusion application servers ActivEdit

The ActivEdit format supports the ActivEdit WYSIWYG HTML editor available from CFDev.com. Using this format, you can edit content visually using an online form. You will need to license and download ActivEdit separately. This format simply integrates it with the TerraForm environment.

Check the following page at CFDev.com for a list of special ActivEdit attributes: Activedit 2.5 Documentation -- CF_Activedit - All Attributes. Note that the ActivEdit inc tag is not used (TerraForm calculates this for you automatically).

The form below shows example code for a plain field, a field with various TerraField attributes applied, and a field with various ActivEdit special attributes applied. ActivEdit ignores standard attributes.

Installation

  1. ActivEdit must be downloaded separately from CFDev.com.
  2. Copy the inc folder from your ActivEdit download so that it is visible at the web path: [ResourcePath]/formats/activedit/inc/. The value of [ResourcePath] is by default: /terraformresources/.
  3. Copy the file activedit.cfm included in that download to this address: [customtags]/terraform/formats/includes/activedit/. Notes:
    • You will see a file called activedit.cfm in [customtags]/terraform/formats/includes/. Leave that file as is!
    • You will also see a file called activedit.cfm in [customtags]/terraform/formats/includes/activedit/. Copy your downloaded activedit.cfm over the top of this file!

Examples

A plain ActivEdit field:

<cf_terrafield
  name="MyActivEditField1"
  format="ActivEdit"
/>

An ActivEdit field with various TerraField attributes applied:

<cf_terrafield
  name="MyActivEditField2"
  caption="Body content"
  format="ActivEdit"
  required="yes"
  minlength="50"
  maxlength="500"
  default="[Your content here]"
/>

An ActivEdit field with various ActivEdit attributes applied (you would normally set up your favourite ActivEdit settings as presets in your settings file):

<cf_terrafield
  name="MyActivEditField3"
  caption="Body content [2]"
  format="ActivEdit"
  tabview="yes"
  height="150"
  width="400"
  defaultfont="10pt Verdana" 
/>
