Use a default template

Hello
I have a need, please help me
I want to give users an editor to type text with a specific header and footer
I want to create a template file on the server so that each user can use that template and the user can write his own text inside it.
Is it possible to take the full text of the user and save it in the database or should the file be saved in the database?

Hi yeadam, 
 
Reg. Is it possible to take the full text of the user and save it in the database or should the file be saved in the database? 
We can only save the entire document to the database. Also, In other way You can add text formfield in document and export the filled content to the database and retrieve it when you needed.

Yes, I understand and thank you

Can you help me?
The easiest way is to open the file by default
Suppose I have a file named template.docx in the files folder. I want this template to load by default when loading the page.

Hi yeadam, 
 
We have prepared a sample to open the default document. Kindly download it from below link. 
 
 
Code Snippet: 
Client-side code: 
 
 
        var documenteditor = containerInstance.documentEditor; 
        onLoadDefault(); 
        function onLoadDefault() { 
            var baseUrl = '/api/documenteditor/LoadDefault'; 
            var httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); 
            httpRequest.open('POST', baseUrl, true); 
            httpRequest.onreadystatechange = function () { 
                if (httpRequest.readyState === 4) { 
                    if (httpRequest.status === 200 || httpRequest.status === 304) { 
                        documenteditor.open(httpRequest.responseText); 
                    } 
                } 
            }; 
            httpRequest.send(); 
        } 
 
 
Server-side code: 
        [AcceptVerbs("Post")] 
        [HttpPost] 
        [Route("LoadDefault")] 
        public string LoadDefault() 
        { 
            string path = hostingEnvironment.WebRootPath + "\\DefaultDocument\\Text-Formatting.docx"; 
//add you file path in above line. 
            if (!System.IO.File.Exists(path)) 
                return null;  
            Stream stream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(path); 
            stream.Position = 0; 
            WordDocument document = WordDocument.Load(stream, FormatType.Docx); 
            string json = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(document); 
            document.Dispose(); 
            stream.Close(); 
            return json; 
        }

Thank you very much

What method do you suggest if we want to put texts in different places of the page?
I tried to bookmark the sections in the default template file, and when a button was clicked, the text would be in the places marked with a bookmark.
What is your suggestion for this?

SR Stephen Raj Chandra Sekar Syncfusion Team December 14, 2020 10:46 AM UTC

Hi yeadam, 
 
Yes, We suggest you to proceed along with your approach, currently we don’t have any other options.

Thank you
I could not do with the bookmark
I put some unique letters in the template file in the header and body and tried to do it by finding the letters and replacing them.
With the help of the following code


            // Find all the occurences of given text
            documenteditor.searchModule.findAll("RN");

            // Replace all the occurences of given text header
            documenteditor.searchModule.searchResults.replaceAll("yadam started...");

            // Find all the occurences of given text
            documenteditor.searchModule.findAll("RT");

            // Replace all the occurences of given text  body
            documenteditor.searchModule.searchResults.replaceAll("started yadam ");

               .
               .
               .

But when the letters are replaced, the header is removed

Thank you very much for your excellent support
The problem was solved.
The problem was our code.
The problem we have is that we are developing an app for Arab countries.
That is why we are testing several companies in parallel on the component and one of them is your company
Our app needs to use Unicode
But your editor does not work very well in Arabic or Unicode mode. Pointer keys work in reverse to move between text.
Is there a solution to this problem?
