Digizuite.Optimizely 4.0.2-beta.1

Digizuite DAM for Optimizely

Get Started

DAM for Optimizely enables the full potential of the Digizuite DAM and provides access to all digital assets at any time from one single source of truth. Read more about all the benefits here: http://www.damforoptimizely.com To get started, you should add the Digizuite DAM services in your startup class. The simplest option to see it work right away is to try out the integration with a shared, readonly, default DAM. You can use that by just adding this service registration in your startup:

services.AddDigizuiteDAM();

With this done, you can already now try to go to edit-mode, and look in the Digizuite widget in the Asset panel to navigate the folders and assets on the DAM. You are also able to drag and drop them into your content and use them in your test or developer environment.

Usually you will want to connect to your own DAM - and set many other settings. You can see an example of how is should be done here: https://digizuite.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DD/pages/3483370066/DFO+4.0.0+-+3+Setting+up+Optimizely

Key Features

• Digizuite Content Provider. Realtime mapping of Digizuite assets and folders into Optimizely
• Digizuite Asset Browser. Powerful UI extension that allows you to easily find the assets you are looking for.
• Multi-lingual assets. Assets from Digizuite can contain metadata in multiple languages - as opposed to Optimizelys default behavior.
• Pseudo streaming of video. With the integration your Optimizely installation can proxy videos streaming live from the DAM.
• Automatic encoding, conversion and optimization of all assets from Digizuite.
• Full CRUD capabilities of Assets in Digizuite. You can both Create new assets (upload), Read and display assets, Update metadata on assets, and Delete assets from the Episerver channel in the DAM - all from within Optimizelys Edit mode.
• Easy editor cropping to predefined formats. Editors can now from the right-click menu create crops of any asset from a predefined list of standardized crops that goes across your organization.
• Developer managed media format selection. When developers render your assets they can decide between all the DAM-configured mediaformats and output the format that is needed, where it's needed.
• Validation attributes for developers. Developers can control which assets editors can use in different locations, simply by attaching an attribute in the content model And much, much more. Learn more here: https://www.damforoptimizely.com/

Configuration

Most of the configuration of the integration to Digizuite can be done the configuration options in the Startup class. Once you have your own Digizuite DAM instance configured to work with DAM For Optimizely you can update the connection settings to ensure you connect to the proper DAM. At that time it would also be a good idea to customize the mapping of access control roles between Optimizely and Digizuite. There are also numerous other parameters you can set to your preferences.

Developer customizations

Since DAM for Optimizely seamlessly integrates Digizuite assets directly into Optimizely as content, you can of course work with them as you would with any Optimizely based content media - including customizing their renderings, modifying their models and so on. But we have included a number of additional cool technologies you can implement as a developer.
