Options

Property	Type	Required	Description
defaultSorting	String	false	Name of the OC sorting to be used as default sorting
archiveHosts	Array	true	Array containing query, and host configuration for OpenContent hosts.

Archive Hosts Options

Archive Host Configuration Example:

{
    "name": "Internal OC-Archive",
    "host": { ... },
    "standardQuery": { ... },
    "resultsMapping": { ... }
    "type": "..."
}

Property	Type	Required	Description
name	String	true	Name for OC Host, displayed in drop down list of available OC Hosts. Short but descriptive.
host	Object	true	Descriptive label for Type, displayed in tab menu.
standardQuery	Object	true	Object containing properties used for every search-call to chosen OC Host.
resultsMapping	Object	true	Object used for mapping OC Properties to properties used by the plugin. See Results Mapping Options
type	String	false	Set to editorial-opencontent when searching for images in the Writer editorial repository

Note: When type is editorial-opencontent, the images need to have thumbnail representations in Open Content
in order for them to be visible in the search result. This is a configuration option in Editor Service.

Host Options

Host configuration used by the BA-proxy service.

{
    "protocol": "http://",
    "hostName": "localhost",
    "port": "5555",
    "healthPath": "/health",
    "queryPath": "/search",
    "objectPath": "/objects",
    "sortingsPath": "/sortings"
}

IMID protected ba-proxy, host configuration

If a IMID protected proxy is used the "credentials": "include" property MUST be set, if there is no IMID it MUST NOT be set, or set to omit

{
    "credentials": "include",
    "protocol": "http://",
    "hostName": "localhost",
    "port": "5555",
    "healthPath": "/health",
    "queryPath": "/search",
    "objectPath": "/objects",
    "sortingsPath": "/sortings"
}

Standard Query Options

Standard options used for every search call. Might be used for contenttype filtering, disabling faceting, or enabling only fetching latest version of a document.
See Open Content API documentation for available properties.

{
    "contenttype": "Image",
    "latest": "true"
}

Results Mapping Options

"key: value"-object used for mapping properties used by the plugin to OpenContent properties. To customize the mapped values, change the string-value of the "value".
The "key"-strings used by the plugin are defined below. It is possible to map multiple keys to the same OC-property.

{
  "name": "Filename",
  "thumbnail": "thumbnail",
  "url": "primary",
  "credit": "Photographer",
  "caption": "Caption",
  "description": "Description",
  "source": "ImageSource",
  "photoDate": "Photodate"
}

Change Mapped OC-property
Example: To change the mapped value of description from OC-property Description to Text:

{
  "description": "Text"
}

The value of the description-property will now get its value from the OC-property Text.

One OC-property mapped to many keys
In this example, both properties caption and description will get its value from the OC-property Caption.

{
  "caption": "Caption",
  "description": "Caption"
}
