The Embedded Unified Crop Connector requires MM 5.6

Integration Digizuite DAM crop featue into almost any other application using the Unified Crop Connector. It will give you a head start on development efforts and reduce both implementation time and risk.

Insert into any Host Application

The Unified Crop Connector can be inserted into any host application as an iframe to easily provide access to an asset and the crop functionallity.

The url syntax for accessing the crop feature for a specific asset is.
https://[customer-mediamamanger-url]/embedded/crop/[assetid]?embedded=true&accessKey=[valid accesskey]

Listening to events

The Unified Crop Connector also posts a message. The 3 important message types are:

  1. CropInitialized - So you know it is the Digizuite Iframe.

  2. CropDone- When the crop is done.

  3. Cancel- When a user clicks on the cancel button.

As mentioned above, the iframe will post messages to its parent / host application. Listening to these events are what makes the magic. It can be done in different ways and most modern frameworks have ways for handling it. But since all are JavaScript frameworks then the most basic way in any kind of application would be to use ‘addEventListener’.

window.addEventListener("message", (event) => {

      if (event && event.data && event.data.messageType) {
            .......
      }
   
}, false);
