Studio Developer Manual / Version 2401
Table Of Contents
The configuration for a Feedback Hub Adapter can be provided via a settings content item. For Feedback Hub
every adapter needs its own content item. 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 9.28.3, “Localization”. You can define a Feedback Hub
configuration globally by placing the content item 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 content item in the folder
structure SITE_ROOT_FOLDER/Options/Settings/Feedback Hub.
The name of the content item itself is not relevant.
The settings content item 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 9.28.1, “Basic Setup”. The values of the struct will be passed to your Adapter |

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 Hubfolder 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.
