7.25.2 Adapter Configuration

The configuration for a Feedback Hub Adapter can be provided via a settings document. For Feedback Hub every adapter needs its own document. Here it is possible to configure for which content type and also in which tab of the Feedback Hub window an adapter appears. Adapters can be grouped into panels via the groupId. If two adapters share the same group ID, they appear in the same panel. For every new groupId a new panel is shown in the Feedback Hub window. How to configure the item see Section 7.25.3, “Localization”. You can define a Feedback Hub configuration globally by placing the document in the folder structure /Settings/Options/Settings/Feedback Hub. If you want to define a site specific Feedback Hub configuration, you need to place the document in the folder structure SITE_ROOT_FOLDER/Options/Settings/Feedback Hub. The name of the document itself is not relevant. The settings document must hold a struct with at the following entries:

Name Type Description
factoryId String The identifier of the implementing factory class. The value must match the return value of the method getId.
targetProperty String The name of the property, where the feedback refers to
groupId String The groupId configures in which tab of the Feedback Hub window the Adapter is shown. If several adapters share the same groupId, they are shown in the same tab.
contentTypes String A list of comma separated values for which content types the adapter is shown.
enabled Boolean Only if set to true, the adapter appears.
reloadMode String Can be set to manual, auto or none. If set to auto, the adapter feedback will reload the feedback automatically when the corresponding observedProperties are configured and changed. If set to manual, the user will have to reload the feedback manually. If set to none, no reload attempt will be triggerd.
observedProperties String A comma separated list of property names that the Feedback Hub will listen to if reloadMode is set to manual or auto. Unknown properties will be ignored silently, because the adapter may have been configured for different content types which don't share the same property names.
settings Struct A struct that defines the attributes that will be passed to the specific adapters. The attributes set in your settings struct have to match the Settings-Interface, mentioned in Section 7.25.1, “Basic Setup”. The values of the struct will be passed to your Adapter

Caution

Caution

Please take care of security protection. The settings should not contain secrets like passwords or API tokens. For example, better store them in a dedicated secrets manager and only pass them through to the external system in your custom adapter implementation during runtime.

The following rules of thumb provide additional protection for sensitive data:

  • Restrict access to the Feedback Hub folder to people that actually configure the adapters.
  • Do not publish adapter configuration. The adapters are only accessed in the CoreMedia Studio. As such they are not relevant on the live side.
  • Ensure that there are not links to Settings content. The adapter configuration is identified by means of their location. Links are not required. A link would risk that the Settings content is accidentally published if for example its referring content is published.
  • Exclude the content and folder from website search by checking the corresponding option.
  • Prevent access to arbitrary content from the Headless Server and from other client applications. See Section 3.5, “Security” in Headless Server Manual for more details.
