  </dependency>

rootNodeId

type: Integer, required: yes

The ID of the CELUM node, which serves as the root for Magnolia:Connect. All assets which are assigned to this node or its sub-nodes will be available in Magnolia.

includedInformationFields

type: List of Integers (comma-separated), required: no

A comma separated list of IDs of the information fields which should be loaded with the asset. Also see Asset Metadata.

requestResultLimit

type: Integer, required: no

For performance reasons you can limit the number of assets which should be loaded with each request.

3. Usage

Once the module has been installed you can add assets to the website and/or apps by using the default DAM link field.

image:
    class: info.magnolia.ui.field.LinkFieldDefinition
    buttonSelectNewLabel: Select new ...
    buttonSelectOtherLabel: Select another ...
    chooser:
      workbenchChooser:
        appName: dam-chooser

Or using the dam link field with the dam chooser or adding your own celum-chooser.

  celum:
    $type: damLinkField
    chooser:
      workbenchChooser:
        appName: dam-chooser
    datasource:
      class: info.magnolia.dam.app.data.AssetDatasourceDefinition
      name: celum

3.1. Asset Metadata

It is possible to load and display CELUM information field values in your Magnolia components.

First you have to configure which information fields should be loaded with the asset with the property includedInformationFields (see Configuration section for details).

You can now call the method getInformationFieldValue(long informationFieldId) on the ch.brix.magnolia.celum.integration.model.CelumAsset instance, which should be available in your component model. This will return an instance of type ch.brix.magnolia.celum.integration.model.informationfield.value.CelumInformationFieldValue or null if the requested information field value is not available on the asset.

The type of the value property depends on the type of the information field in CELUM:

• number => java.lang.Long
• double => java.lang.Double
• checkbox => java.lang.Boolean
• date => java.util.Calendar
• text / textarea => java.lang.String
• localizedtext / localizedtextarea => ch.brix.magnolia.celum.integration.model.informationfield.value.LocalizedValues

• dropdown => ch.brix.magnolia.celum.integration.model.informationfield.value.DropDownValue

• nodereference => java.util.Set<ch.brix.magnolia.celum.integration.model.informationfield.value.NodeReference>

Instead of working with the typed value property you can also use the convenience methods getValueAsString() and getLocalizedValue(String localeCode) / getLocalizedValue(Locale locale). The getValueAsString() method will return a best-effort String representation of the value, while the getLocalizedValue() methods try to return the value in the specified locale – for unlocalized types (number, double, checkbox, date, text, textarea) they will return the same result as getValueAsString().
