DFO 4.0.0 - 3 Setting up Optimizely

After installation of the NuGet package, it's time to setup the connection to you Digizuite DAM instance. You have 2 options to add the settings. Eather through code in the startup class or in a json settings file.

Option 1 - Through code in startup class

Add the DAMIntegrationConfiguration to your startup class. The configuration should be added after the AddCms due to TinyMCE initialization. Here is an example. The paramaters will be delivered by Digizuite.

services.AddDigizuiteDAM(new Action<DAMIntegrationConfiguration>(configuration =>
{
  	configuration.Connection = new Digizuite.Models.DigizuiteConfiguration()
	{
  		BaseUrl = new Uri("https://[DAM url]"),                
        SystemUsername = "Episerver Editor",
        SystemPassword = "36b2a0e1d5d2a4bd45975951366ea26b"
  	};
    configuration.MediaManager = new MediaManagerElement()
    {
    	Url = "https://[MediaManager url]"
   	};
    configuration.MainSearchFolderId = 136;
}));

Option 2 - Json settings

Create a new file with the name digizuitesettings.json and place it along with the appsettings.json. Add the minimun settings like below.

{
  "DigizuiteDamSettings": {
    "Connection": {
      "BaseUrl": "https://[DAM url]",
      "SystemUsername": "Optimizely Editor",
      "SystemPassword": "P74nR658TEhh"
    },
    "MediaManager": {
      "Url": "https://[MediaManager url]"
    },
    "MainSearchFolderId": 126
  }
}

Add the DAMIntegrationConfiguration to your startup class. The configuration should be added after the AddCms due to TinyMCE initialization.

services.AddDigizuiteDAM();
