Standard configuration

The universes menu are manageable from an easy-to-use, out-of-the-box settings interface provided with starter kit from the 2023.1.0 WEDIA release.

➡️ More information

From the 2023.3.0 WEDIA release, logos are also manageable from this interface

Add universes (cursors or queries)

Queries

There are no conditions for the full text search bar to display in the dam page. It will always show.

On the home page however, the full text search bar is not visible.

Here is an overview:

Cursors

By default, there are 2 cursors already configured : “All assets” and “All videos“. It also possible to add personalized cursors.

Default cursors

Here is it’s overview of the default cursors:

{
  "path": "dam/asset",
  "max": 60,
  "orderby": "created desc",
  "limit": 20,
  "withRights": true,
  "maxchildren": 6,
  "sortByRelevanceIfFulltext": true,
  "i18nQuery": true,
  "cacheDuration": "20000",
  "haveAssetNature": true,
  "staticQuery": {}
}

{
  "path": "dam/asset",
  "max": 60,
  "staticQuery": {
    "assetnature": {
      "dof": {
        "code":"video"
      }
    }
  },
  "orderby": "created desc",
  "limit": 200,
  "haveAssetNature": true
}

Adding a new cursor

When adding a new cursor, there are a few steps to take.

First, we’ll have to add it to $.dam.contexts.json. Here is an example with a cursor called “allProducts”:

[
  {
    "cursor":"allAssets",
    "disableResourceSubFilter": true
  },
  {
    "cursor": "allVideos",
    "disableResourceSubFilter": true
  },
  {
    "cursor": "allProduct",
    "disableResourceSubFilter": true
  }
]

Then we have to create a file in $.common.cursors.<cursor-name-in-kebab-case>.json. In our example, we’ll have : $.common.cursors.all-product.json

We have to fill in the file with the basic information and a specific query:

{
    "path": "dam/asset",
    "max": 60,
    "orderby": "created desc",
    "limit": 20,
    "withRights": true,
    "maxchildren": 6,
    "sortByRelevanceIfFulltext": true,
    "i18nQuery": true,
    "cacheDuration": "20000",
    "haveAssetNature": true,
    "staticQuery": {
      "and": [
        {"width":{"eq":3450}},
        {"height":{"eq":5175}}
      ]
    }
  }
  

Here, we ask that the cursor displays all assets that have a width of 3450px and a height of 5175px.

Finally, don’t forget to add the translation key in the appropriate plugin. It has to be as follow:

global.schemaNames.<nameOfCursor>.cursor

In our example, the translation key would be: global.schemaNames.allProducts.cursor.

Separators

It is also possible to add separators to space out cursors. To do so, add null between each object of a cursor in the $.dam.contexts.json, like so:

[
  [...]
  {
    "cursor": "allVideos",
    "disableResourceSubFilter": true
  },
  null,
  {
    "cursor": "allVideos",
    "disableResourceSubFilter": true
  }
]

Here is an overview of what a separator would look like:

without separators	with separators

Disabling cursors

We can disable the visiblity of the cursors in the dam explorer page by setting to false the $.dam.behaviors.display-contexts-filter.json.

Deactivating a features (upload or boards)

The display of the upload icon depends on several parameters :

• an upload feature,

• if the user has a role that is allowed to upload,

• and the user has to be connected;

Here is an overview of those parameters :

{
  "asset": [4, 27],
  "pimasset": [4, 27]
}

The board icon depends on only one parameter: a board feature.

Here’s it’s overview:
