The When dealing with multichannel content, the Wedia solution is designed to manage in a simple and easy way all of your documents, texts and media in order to be consistent within different channels.This section will detail all the available featuresprovides a complete “multi” channel “Content Objects”, that can be adapted through different languages, projects, and brands.

This “Content Object” data model is only needed on very customised project. It should not be needed on most DAM projects. |
Object entity
Functional principle
A declined object is functionally represented as an entity. It is broken down according to three criteria:
...

English version
Naming conventions
Excluding the concepts of layout-driven or content-driven projects, the following will name objects not related to a project: group content.
...
All these objects are linked by a single common property called master-key (property master in the object).
Technical principles
Each object wishing to inherit the declination management principle must be created from the contentobject object available in the product.
This object has the properties and configurations necessary to content management:
Property master
master-key allowing the connection with all of the variations. All declensions of the same content object have the following characteristics same value in this field.
This property is managed by the system via the Wedia triggers.
This property is defined by Wedia and cannot be changed.
To function properly it is necessary that the triggers are well executed when inserting objects with this property.
Property mediagroup
linking to a group. Content objects are within a group, if you want to exploit correctly content management with the notions of group content and/or content management project declination.
| Note |
|---|
ImportantThis property is mandatory on the object. |
Property media
connection with a project. If the value is empty, then the content will be a group content.
Property language
connection with languages. Allows translation management. Cannot be left empty.
Property notranslation
if a content is not functionally functional it cannot be translated (e.g. an image), this property allows you to pass in addition to language information and prevent translation of the object.
| Warning |

CautionFor a content entity, the master property must always be defined. The value of this property is set via Wedia triggers. It is therefore important not to disable the execution of triggers when inserting and modifying a content entity. |
| Warning |
|---|
CautionThe notion of content entity is not to be confused with the notion of content object described in object configuration in structure mode. Whether or not the object is the carrier of this information has no impact on the management of the entities with specific exceptions (see proposal / taxation in project declinations and inheritance principle). |
Configurations and inheritance
An object structure can be configured in three ways:
...
The channel inherits the data model
The group inherits the data model
The project inherits by default the intersection of the available objects on channel and on the group
you can extend the selection among the group objects (and thus to exploit objects normally not selectable by this channel)
The model inherits by default the intersection of available objects on the channel and on the group
you can manually extend the selection among the group objects (and thus to exploit objects normally not selectable by this channel)
The support inherits by default the intersection of available objects on the model (if it has one, if not the channel) and on the project.
| Warning |
|---|
CautionBy default, we do not allow you to select at the project level exploitable objects when it is part of a channel |
...
User customizes selection for group and channel
The user did not customize the selection on the project and the model ⇒ they will inherit the intersection of the channel and the group.

Content creation
When creating a contextualisable object according to one of the three variables managed by the system, a selection portal may appear.
This indicates that the system could not determine all the information needed to create it; either by inheritance (with collections) or by the call URL.
In this case, it will require the user to select a valid context before entering information in the form.
...
The context information is, after validation, transmitted to all pages and URLs drawn allowing a legacy of context.
Create your own contextualized URLs:
The contextualization of object creation is carried out by passing in parameter to the action datanew the info of the selected context.
These parameters are as follows:
wxm_group | ID of the group where you want to create the content |
wxm_media | ID of the media where you want to create content (0 means that the content will be a group content |
wxm_lang | ID of the content language |
This information is then processed by the system for release. Improper contextualization can result in the erroneous part being undone:
If you specify the group and project:
If the project does not belong to the group, this parameter will be ignored, you will be prompted to select an correct projectIf you specify a language:
If it does not belong to the project in question, or if it is not part of the contributor’s languages, you will be asked to select a correct language.
Use of contents
The system automatically feeds the object bases according to the user’s assignments.
base_list_[object]
The base_list_[object] database will be compiled and populated as soon as you have a valid form_object in request.
...
group objects to which the user has access
the project declinations to which the user has access and whose channel is content-driven
declinations in the languages to which the user has access or which are declared untranslatable.
base_edit_list_[object]
The base_edit_list_[object] bases of all objects whose structure owns the master-key (owner master) are compiled and available on every page of the back office.
...
group contents to which the user has access
project versions to which the user has access and whose channel is
content-driven.versions in languages to which the user has access or which are declared non-translatable.
