Getting Started

The easiest way to start with the Omni Loader solution is to run it as a standalone app.

Unpack the ZIP/TAR.GZ archive and start the quickstart.cmd (Windows) or quickstart.sh (Linux). The script will run Omni Loader and open the browser at port 5000 where Omni Loader is running a local web server for UI user interaction.

The Omni Loader app will start and the browser window will open at the address http://localhost:5000

To start Omni Loader manually, open the Windows terminal and change the current directory to the "omniloader" subfolder. Once there, you can start the standalone application like this:

OmniLoader.exe --urls "http://0.0.0.0:5000"

If you have a proxy server, you can provide its details like so:

OmniLoader.exe --urls "http://0.0.0.0:5000" --proxy "https://{your-proxy-server}.com:{your-proxy-port}" --proxy-user "{your-proxy-username}" --proxy-pass "{your proxy password}"

Omni Loader currently does not support HTTPS proxy connections. Please connect to your proxy via HTTP instead. That shouldn't be unsafe as your proxy will still connect to our website via HTTPS.Of course, NEVER use public online proxies as that WOULD transfer data in plain text between your network and the proxy.

For more info on how to create data loading projects please see the the Project Wizard General page or watch our video tutorials.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
