The Rich Text Editor (RTE) is based on tinymce and is highly configurable. Depdending on the configuration, it will give your content editors more flexibility when working with content that should be more than only plain text.
See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of a property editor you need the Content Service.
The example below demonstrates how to add values programmatically using a Razor view. However, this is used for illustrative purposes only and is not the recommended method for production environments.
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services;@inject IContentService Services;@{ // Get access to ContentServicevar contentService = Services; // Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to updatevar guid =Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef"); // Get the page using the GUID you've definedvar content =contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page // Create a variable for the desired valuevar htmlValue =newHtmlString("Add some text <strong>here</strong>"); // Set the value of the property with alias 'richText'. content.SetValue("richText", htmlValue); // Save the changecontentService.Save(content);}
Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:
@{ // Get the page using it's idvar content =contentService.GetById(1234); }
If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PublishedCache;@inject IPublishedSnapshotAccessor _publishedSnapshotAccessor;@{ // Set the value of the property with alias 'richText' content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(_publishedSnapshotAccessor, x => x.RichText).Alias, "Add some text <strong>here</strong>");
}
