--- previous post ---

Hi everyone, I've added an idea to Idea Exchange to enhance Experience Builder's Rich Content Editor component. It feels very outdated and is missing a lot of features. If you could take a look and upvote if you agree that would be wonderful!

Here's what's in the idea:

Color Picker

Theme Colors: Include colors from theme settings, similar to PowerPoint, where theme colors are shown with various shades in the color picker.
Manual Color Selection: Allow manual color selection using color codes like hex, rgba, etc.

Fonts

Theme Fonts: Offer fonts from the theme settings as default options in the font selector.
Full Font Selection: Allow us to choose from all fonts available in the theme settings.

Heading Levels & HTML Semantics

Heading Levels: The LWR version currently allows only font size selection, not heading levels, which removes semantics and accessibility from the text. Please bring back the option to select heading levels.
Content Record Semantics: When content with heading levels is saved in a CMS content record, those semantics are stripped out in the Experience Builder’s rich content field. This should be fixed.

Images

Allow images pasted into the editor to stay visible after exiting the editor. Currently, pasted images disappear once you leave the editor.

Markdown Support

Enable markdown syntax formatting to streamline adding structure to content. This would also require bringing back HTML semantics for full compatibility.

Links

Include expressions in the “Add a Link” modal, allowing users to easily link to specific pages within the site without manually entering the full URL.

Merge Fields

Add a menu button to insert merge fields, making it easier to display dynamic content without memorizing expressions.

Code View

Offer a code view mode to allow basic HTML elements for enhanced content customization—this is a standard feature on many CMS platforms.

How to uniquely load the cart items for a guest user ?

How to identify and load the guest cart items in LWR b2b sites ?

We cannot rely on a common account ID to fetch cart items. This will lead to bad user experience.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Hi @Gnanesh Challa,

you can consider using browser-based tracking methods like cookies or local storage.

1. Generate a unique session ID for each guest user when they first add an item to the cart.
2. Store the session ID in a cookie or local storage in the user's browser. When the user interacts with the cart, use this session ID to retrieve the cart items from your backend, ensuring each guest has a unique experience.
3. Ensure the session persists until the cart is checked out or abandoned. This way, the experience remains consistent without relying on a common account ID. If the user later registers or logs in, you can link this guest session to their newly created account.

Make sure to handle session expiry and data privacy properly to avoid potential issues. This method should help with your task.

Using embeddedservice_bootstrap.utilAPI methods on an LWR site - opening a MIAW chat with an external button

I am trying to open a Messaging for In-App and Web chat programmatically, and I see that there may be some methods to do so, particularly embeddedservice_bootstrap.utilAPI methods such as:

embeddedservice_bootstrap.utilAPI.showChatButton()

The documentation shows what looks like a set up where the MIAW chat is added to a conventional website. However, I am trying to utilize these methods on an LWR site and have been unable to. Has anyone been able to pull this off? If so, how? I'm not sure what I am missing here.

I found the answer for this:

In order to open a MIAW chat button programmatically, in my case via a button placed elsewhere on the page, you will need to use a javascript event. To be clear, you will be using the event conventionally, not in the method described here which would be more helpful in communicating one LWC to another. The MIAW chat is not an LWC itself, but the prechat is, so that made it so that I had to use a conventional JS event.

1. Go to your desired site and drop in the Embedded Messaging component with your MIAW chat that you want to use in the Experience Builder.
2. In the left side main menu, click Settings > Advanced > Edit Head Markup.
3. In the Head Markup editor, add a simple listener like so:
document.addEventListener('launchMIAWChat', function(e){ embeddedservice_bootstrap.utilAPI.launchChat();});
4. Click Save.
5. Create an LWC that holds the button you want to use to trigger the chat.
6. Make it so that button calls a method in the LWC JS file when clicked.
7. Within the method that gets triggered on click, dispatch a JS event to the document object that has a value that matches the value your listener is listening for. Make sure to double check this since this is an easy area to make a mistake that keeps the whole thing from working:
document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("launchMIAWChat"));
8. Save and deploy to the org.
9. Add the button LWC to your page.
10. You should now be able to click and have the chat open right up whether it is hidden or not.

Hi all! I've got a followup article that was recently published on Salesforce Ben which covers some of the neat things you can do with the Columns component. The article uses the same demo website shown in the Show Me How episode, and it goes into more detail about how to achieve the layouts you see in the website.

https://www.salesforceben.com/how-to-use-salesforce-experience-builders-columns-component-like-a-pro/

If anyone has any questions about how to get similar layouts for your website, don't hesitate to reach out! I'm happy to help.

Public File Download on LWR KAs

I am looking to create an LWR site where I can have some knowledge articles and allow unauthenticated users (customers) to view specific knowledge articles that are available to the public; the articles have a file related to them that the customer should be able to download.

I know there is no LWR related list yet, but hypothetically if i built one, is there a way to allow a guest user to download files that are related to a Knowledge Article?

Without sharing should work in both flow an apex - if it doesn't to me it's a bug and there should be a support case to look into it.

When working with Salesforce CMS Content (Managed Content Object) and attempting to retrieve content using Apex, you may encounter this error when utilizing methods from the ManagedContent class methods such as getManagedContentByContentKeys or getManagedContentByIds

ConnectApi.ConnectApiException:[errorCode=INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS]: "You don't have access to this channel."
This error occurs because of the ConnectAPI.ManagedContent is designed for regular workspace APIs. For enhanced workspaces (and channels), you should use the ConnectAPI.ManagedContentDelivery class instead.

Here's an example of Lightning Web Components (LWC) to display CMS Content (Collection) as an accordion on a public Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) site, leveraging the ConnectAPI.ManagedContentDelivery class.
